Big edit:
I've really struggled trying to upload images, I'm going to have to come back to it to try again at a later date!
Huge apologies for wasting your time clicking on this! :-S

Posting images is a bit of a pain, once you have cracked it the first time it is much easier from then on
Look forwards to seeing them.
Thanks for the replies and the link, I really appreciate it! I could get it so there was a link to click to the photos, but not so the pictures actually appeared in the forum post. I'm sure I'll get it next time I can look at it properly. I'm starting a new job tomorrow so I'll have to put it to one side for now... the undead will rise at some point though!
Yes ask away and we'll help where we can, it's a bit of a faff but not too bad once you get in the swing of it. Good luck on your new job!
Let me know if I can help at all with that.
If you do post the link to click to the photos I'm fairly sure one of us will be able to workout how to adjust it to make the pictures appear in the post
We would then be able to show you how to do it
The way I do it is very easy.
I post my pictures in a blog (I use Blogger).
I copy the image link from a blogged picture.
I paste the image link using the little insert image icon above which does this.

Easy peasy.
Edit: Think I'm on top of it now! :)
I've got 60 skeletons and two necromancers primed white. This should be the core of an army that's useable with a few rule sets.

:o Ian suggesting someone should have more time :-/
Just a quick update on the skellies. The bone wash is on (no further action required! :)) and I've made a start basecoating the metal.

Very nice, coming together well.
Looking damn fine, already ! 8)
Cheers - Phil :)
Looks ace
Thanks for the encouragement! :D
These look great!! On my skeletons that have bits of clothing or hats I try to stay with washed out looking colors that makes them look old and worn. For example instead of using red, I will use a grayish red.

Smallish update, the weapon heads, helmets and shield backs (not that you can see them!) have all had their first coat. I feel like they're starting to take shape!

Defo impressive
Agreed !
Cheers - Phil. :)
Looks ace
Dem bones, dem bones, dem dry bones .... look fantastic! Looking forward to the finished articles.
Can we all just take a moment to admire how clean Jonny's cutting mat is!
Downright suspicious I call it.
You don't think it's.... new?!?! :o
New?!!??
Egad! The man's rich!
I'm ashamed to admit it is quite new. I'm even more ashamed to admit that it's not an anomaly...
My name is Jonny and I occasionally buy new cutting mats X_X
For shame!
Gentlemen, we may have to consider if this is a black ball situation, though upon more sober reflection we may forgive the Cadet.
Yes I suppose we should. This time...
;D
For penance I will walk the parish boundary and hit myself in the head with the offending cutting mat a la the holy grail monks #-o

Never mind that, youngster - you owe the officers' mess a round of triple Armagnac!
Nothing wrong with a clean cutting mat ! ;)
Mine still looks quite new. :D
But then....I haven't had the paints out for years, and I haven't spilt any acetone on it.........yet.
Cheers - Phil :)
Whereas my two, as Phil knows, looks like a pair of Jackson Pollack paintings!
No, Nobby, that's not rhyming slang, this time...
Hey! I know stuff!
Jackson Pollack was a bloke who turned paint drops into an "art form". They're actually cleverer than they appear, being almost fractal in their effect, but still look like a drip mat to me. Suffered from alcoholism. He died in 1956(?) in a car crash at a very early age (40s?).
Played in a film (called "Pollock") by Ed Harris, who also played Beethoven in "Copying Beethoven" and Major Konig in "Enemy at the Gate"
Though I do want to know why Techno knows your man-bits are multi coloured.
Good facts FSN.
A pollack is a kind of cod, I believe. Pollock was a kind of painter. A Polack is a kind of eastern European, formerly a neutral term (see Hamlet) but by now considered offensive. A polk was a division in the Polish army. A polka is a lively dance from the 19th century, for reasons unknown to me now associated with a dotted pattern. A pollard is a tree with major limbs removed to encourage massed grown of withies, a common technique with willow trees to increase the rate of basket production.
Now read on....

And a polecat?
And a poll-axe, a pole-dancer, and a poll tax.
Little bit of an update on the cutting mat. There's one or two minor marks on it now, so I'll need to buy a new one this weekend.
In other news, I've painted the spears, body armour and shin guards on the skeletons... but I know everyone's here for the shiny cutting mat really ;D

how big is my browser (https://whatsmyscreenresolution.com/)
Could we have some more photos of the damage to the mat? :P
Looking good.
Yep, looking good .... and so are the figures :D
That cutting mat has years left in it!
Great figures.
Filthy mat, you should be ashamed!
Looking good
:-bd =D> :-bd
Shin guards :o Greaves my dear boy ;)
From the Old French greve for shin apparently :D
Very nice, Jonny....Now hurry up and finish them. ;)
Cheers - Phil. :)
