WIP: Vampire Counts: Bat Swarms

Started painting these Bat Swarms. Trying to make them look a bit like Myotis lucifugus because the models just resemble them.

1. Primer: Maston 518 grey
2. Snakebite leather for the body
3. 50/50 mix of Chaos Black and Scorhed Brown on wings and ears
4. Washed with Devlan Mud
5. Bleached Bone for the teeth
(6. Chaos Black for the "support-sticks", not shown in the pictures)

WIP: Vampire Counts: Black Knights, part1

The HexWraith/Black Knight box comes with 5 mounts, the hexwraith got them. But as I got bunch of old miniatures from some awesome people, I also got some old plastic Skeleton Riders. That was good news to the Black Knights because they got their mounts stolen by their ethereal brothers-in-arms. Everyone is happy now, the old skeletal horses fit the new Black Knights well. Next up: the paint!

I took the pictures before glueing  them together.

Is it christmas already?

Happened to get a lot of awesome minitarures from some awesome people. Just awesome, pure awesome, look at the loot I got:

The paintjob needed some work, so now I have a somewhat large paintstripping project on my hands:

I used Fairy Power Spray and a old toothbrush, the results were good:

WIP: a terrain project starting up

I had a lot of SIM-card "shells" laying around, these were on their way to garbage, so I might have scavenged them. Being plastic they would make nice material for terrain crafting.

First I needed to sand out the images and text on them.

Then I cut them up in nice wood plank like pieces. The are now good for crafting wooden plankfloor or walls. I'll make something out of them soon and will keep you updated on the progress.

WIP: Vampire Counts: HexWraiths, part1

I am taking part in a 1200pts Border Patrol tournament at my local gaming store. The rules allow 150pts worth of ethereals, so I wanted to take 5 HexWraiths on my list. The assembly took a while but now they are assembled. Next comes the primer and then a ghostly paint scheme.

WIP: Vampire Counts Dire Wolves

 I'm painting these Dire Wolves for my Border Patrol list. I started with Maston 518 Grey Primer and then added layers on Vallejo Filthy Brown on the muscles, some old Citadel Bleached Bone on the bone-parts and Citadel purple for the guts.

 Then I washed the muscles with Citadel Carroburg Crimson Shade to make them red and raw.

Finally I painted the remainin fur parts with 50/50 mix on Citadel Chaos Black and Scorhed Brown. Next Im going to assemble these, clean them up and apply washes for the skin and then highlight everythind.
