2016 Painting Competition - People's Choice!

Really liking the look of this army.

Quite a few of the fantasy ranges have been / are being updated following the release of warband. One of the most obvious differences is that the bows are now a good size rather than the stubby little things they used to be, there are also more poses and new command and wizard figures. So its more a difference between the old figures and the new Warband figures, rather than the figures packaged as Warband and buying separate packs.

Good painting. I'd say you were about ready to try some real stuff. ;)

I like that you like them ;)

@fred. I had hard time to decide what to buy as there is precious little visual info on the shop pages - many positions lack photos which I find hard to understand. I didn't bought older undead as there was no photos (I bet Pendraken loses lots of customers who don't want to pay for a cat in a bag) and I assumed the warband items are just repackaged older undead - and there were photos in warband undead section.
I'll show what I have bought and what was inside of packages (I know the contents is somewhat randomized, but such list is a good overview)

I can't enter shop page - there is some kind of server error, so I can't doublecheck names...

First - almost everything from warband undead section: army deal (a package of several warband items - don't remember which so I list all items separated) and additional warband items:

3x Foot warriors (FAN-UND1)
- 12pcs with bludgeons (4 positions, 2pcs with a shield)


- 34 swords (10 pos., 17 shields)



- 27 spears (8 pos., 15 shields), 2 halberds



Here are all different poses from the 3 packs of warriors (with numbers indicating how many of them were there)




Archers (FAN-UND2)
- 12 bows (3 pos., 6 shields)


- 13 crossbows (4pos., 8 shields)



Cavalry (FAN-UND3) - 6 spears (6 pos., 3 shields), 6 swords (4 pos., 2 shields)



Command (FAN-UND4) - 3 commanders (2 swords, 1 spear), standard, drummer



Necromancers (FAN-UND5) - 4 necromancers and a monument



Catapults (FAN-UND6) - 2pcs with 4 crew each



Wraiths/spirits (FAN-UND10) - 10pcs



Zombie (FAN-UND10) - 26pcs (7 armed)





Second - additionally several items from fantasy accessories section (there were pictures so I could choose):

Ghouls (AC32) - 10 pcs. (3 armed)



Pegasus (AC24) - 2 pcs.



Dragon (AC14)



That's all I bought for undead - twice as much as I needed - this will be a gigantic KoW undead army, and I still could buy some more ;)

I'll show also some more pictures from painting spearmen:

I hope I didn't scared you away with pictures of Pendraken skellies with no paint whatsoever ;)
(why so many pictures in the shop are inexistent? No idea...)

Continuation of painting undead army:

Matt black undercoat, white drybrush




Painted the dragon and his passenger - the commander figure with spear (cut off the base, unattached spear from his leg, spread his legs, changed position of body and hand with spear)

Pendraken are gradually adding photos of their ranges but with thousands of figures it is going to take a while before the last of them is done.

Love the conversion of the dragon!

Lehcyfer,
Just had a chance to look through all your pics - superb close-ups!  Like your painting work also. Not much into fantasy wargaming but between Game of Thrones and Bruce Campbell's Army of Darkness I have a great appreciation for the armies of the dead. Look forward to seeing more of your work.

Had some time and painted catapults. Made bases as small as possible, but still they're too large for standard KoW artillery base. Fortunately larger bases are allowed as long as there is standard base width marked on front - to measure the range from.

Painted:






And assembled on bases:
