Title: Dark Souls project for HoTT
Post by: kaathe on 04 February 2015, 09:01:48 PM
Hi,
Here's my first 10mm project, based on the Dark Souls video game series.
It's the army of Lordran, land of the ancient lords, that's fallen under the curse of the undeath...

Hordes: Skeletons with necromancer (in the back holding his skull lantern).

Blades: Capra demons with undead dogs

Warband: Serpent soldiers
(They're actually lizards, but both are reptiles, so close enough?)

Thanks for your comments! Pendraken seems ideal for this sort of project, as you can order different figures in small numbers.
Here's a couple of more. This is the opposing army, (the kingdom of?) Astora. The game doesn't tell you much about them, except that it's the land of royalty and noble knights, so I imagined some units.

Riders: Cavalry, carrying the blue-golden banner of Astora

(http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/540/ph9nrP.jpg) (https://imageshack.com/i/f0ph9nrPj)

Spears
It's very easy to paint dark armour over a black basepaint.

Project is moving along slowly now that my photographing has caught up with painting. But maybe documenting it here will keep me motivated.
I've got two more units here.

Knights of Astora

(http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/631/bGz7XP.jpg) (https://imageshack.com/i/hjbGz7XPj)

Some more spears
(http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/537/jAYhcd.jpg) (https://imageshack.com/i/exjAYhcdj)

I decided to stick with with the blue color. I think it will give a nice uniform look to the army.

Nice painting.

The pikeman pointing the wrong way wouldn't happen to be called Corporal Jones by any chance?  :D
Title: Re: Dark Souls project for HoTT
Post by: kaathe on 09 February 2015, 08:47:38 PM
I shortened his pike, but still had to point him sideways because the medieval pikemen are just waving their pikes all over the place.  >:(
That's why I got the ECW pikemen, nice and tidy.

I've been slacking off, but here are some more skeletons at least.

I like how you can bend the figures just a little to make the poses not identical.
Title: Re: Dark Souls project for HoTT
Post by: getagrip on 17 February 2015, 09:07:48 PM
Love them  :-bd

Agree with the idea of bending the skellys; I did the same with the mummies  ;)

The evil army now has a dragon. Since it's not a Pendraken miniature, I put it in here:

So, everything else is Pendraken?

Love your work! 

Makes me anxious for the packages yet to be ordered.  I'll be doing up some Skele's for Warband later on.  :D
Title: Re: Dark Souls project for HoTT
Post by: kaathe on 05 March 2015, 04:30:38 PM
Everything else so far is Pendraken, but I've made some little modifications here and there, like different weapons and shields.

Here's the general for the evil army, Lord Gwyn with one of his loyal black knights.
It was a pity to destroy some of the detail on the Jim model, but I wanted him to look more like his counterpart in the game.
Knights (G)

And with that, one army is now complete.
