New Year Warband Resolution

I would agree with the other experts here, the basing sets off the figures perfectly. If you want to do something to - finish - them, then perhaps a dry brushed white highlight around the edge of the graveston might lift it a little?

Thanks for the responses. Looks like there's a concensus on no more flock although I must confess to being a 'fuzzy baser' at heart . Although most of my other flock would dwarf these little fellas.
Molinary, thanks I think I'll edge the stone (I'm trying to resist squeezing RIP on to it!). And lemmy, - painting competition hasn't gone unnoticed although my dream of entering these as part of an army is likely to remain just that.
But a quick question - does anyone have any photos of painted undead cavalry? I couldn't find many after a quick search. I'm torn between painting the flat bits (i.e. not bone) on the mounts as flesh or barding. Went for barding but would be good to see how flesh works to maybe add some variety. I suspect, having painting it as barding it may have been sculpted as flesh!

thanks

Beautiful!
IT is flesh, convinced of it...

[Techno]

I took it to be rotting bits of flesh and skin, when I was working on the 'revamp'.

Cheers - Phil

Aye, they're boney! Well done. I like the gravestone and the amount of flock - I'd leave it as is.

[Mostyn]

Well these took a little longer than planned. Caught on the horns of failing to account for half term and a nasty bout of man-bola. They were intended to be an entry for the painting competition, so I took a little longer over them but, like all proper cavalry, their timing is a little off .
Despite the rotting flesh looking suspiciously like tattered barding these are wonderful figures and I think my favourite of the range so far.
Hope you like them.

Superb work there.

Very nice indeed, that man !

Excellent work, the whole army painted to that standard will be awesome.

[Roy]

They're brilliant 

[Mostyn]

Thanks you for all the kind comments.  Next up, and having taken longer to finish than any five 10mm figures have a right to, are the necromancers:



I have an unhealthy love for the liche with the long hair and dressing gown style coat.  He just needs to be holding an undead cat and he's the perfect seventies supervillain/porn magnate (are the two mutually exclusive?)!

Hope you like them. and thanks again for the encouragement.

[Techno]

Very, very nice, Mostyn ! 
Super work.

Cheers - Phil

[Duke Speedy of Leighton]

Very cool!

[Roy]

that's a lovely bit of work

[Bodvoc]

Really good.

Fantastic - love it.

[Mostyn]

Thanks for all the nice comments.

Well these have taken a little longer than intended.  Or at least I got distracted more than I was hoping (but probably not expecting..).  This weekend, however, I found myself free from wife and children interference and with only a modest DIY task list so, rather than being drawn like a moth to a flame to a new project (soon to be another half finished one), I thought I might actually try and finish off something I'd already started:

Undead Lord (secretly quite leased with this unit).


The rest of the new stuff


Gratuitous 'bat shot' as I have a strange affection for the flying ratty chaps (and they're always out of focus when taken with the other figures!).


And the army in all its evil glory. I'll probably add some crossbowmen later (hopefully this decade).


Now it's just a matter of choosing what to paint as opposition - when are the dragon men out again?

Hope you like them and thanks for looking.
