Title: Finally my first 10mm army : Undead legion
Post by: sundaygeneral on 20 January 2014, 01:44:20 PM
Hi,

Here's my 10mm Undead army, made from Pendraken (and a few kallistra) minis.

The night light pics are a bit saturated. Here's some better sample pics of how they look at daylight :

Next project is a Dwarf army, from Pendraken. These armies are for Rally Round the King game, 400pts format.

Are those the Kallistra bases that you are using?

Thanks for the comments !

Yes I'm using the kallistra bases. They are thin and sturdy. I bought enough of them for my 3 RRTK armies (undead, dwarves, ratmen) 400pts budgets.


I'll update this topic once I'll play, with (daylight hopefully) gaming pics. I'll start the dwarves during the week, or next week end. I really like 10mm because it give good details for cheap money, and is easy and fast to play (I'd say 3 or 4 afternoon/evenings to complete this army).


Here's some other pic (during painting process) of the blurry cavalry. Once again, night pics, red paint make the figures really saturated, I don't know why  :-\

The most accurate pics (colors) are the first and last one on the first post of the topic.

The shields really tie it all together don't you think?

Yes, and the use of red on banners and a few other places to bring the units together.

Thanks,

I thought that perhaps I should apply a color code for each army, to make a good army orverall effect, but also make the armies easier to see. Red for undead, brow for ratmen, blue for dwarfs, green for elfes, etc...

Vice idea,,,not sure about brown for ratmen as they are brown themselves ( or in my pinion they are)  maybe a mustard yellow but look good against the brown fur
Title: Re: Finally my first 10mm army : Undead legion
Post by: sundaygeneral on 23 January 2014, 11:30:47 PM
Yes, you're right. Yellow sounds good. And it should work with my painting technic too  :-\


thanks !
