Skaven Tester

Okay recently I have bought/traded and been given a few Skaven with an ultimate goal to make this my next viable 3rd edition Oldhammer army.

Test piece was done over the weekend and I am quite happy with it.. Muted tones again I think I am in my muted tones era of painting ;)
Went with the traditional metallic green for the globes, catachan green for the robes and mecharite red with a touch of black for the hood. Liberally dosed with devlan mud and a few final highlights.

As usual I have not done the basing. I am terrible for not basing minis... really must pull my finger out and get them done.

More Reapers Done

Okay after a brief hiatus due to illness and general life I am back on form.. Finished painting 4 more Reapers to get a starting squad of 10 done. The minimum required for a 3k undead army in 3rd edition.
I may go on to finish them or more likely I will go onto a generic skeleton unit with hand weapons next..

Anyway onto some pics.

Little Distractions... Squats are here.

Okay painting skele's all week every week is a hard task for me as I have a lot of minis and I always seem to have a new flavour of the week.
Earlier this week I decided to sort my Squat army out and start assembling and putting them up on one of the display units.
Before I new what was going on I had primed and painted a test mini. This has lead to a unit... nothing special as they are just rank and file.

More Skeleton Reapers

Hi all from the Sunny South Coast.
I got a lot done  this week so I'm quite pleased. 6 Reapers are now done in total so I am getting closer to the minimum 10 requirement. I am using the death elemental as the champion after seeing Pil's amazing blog and blatantly stealing his idea (sorry Pil)..
anyway pics below.

 

 

 

a bit of Rogue Trader loving up next..

New lead mk2

One more post for the weekend then I am back to painting while the sun is hitting my desk and warming me ;)

New Lead for the last 2 weeks. A few trades came up and a nice pile was returned. I finally have my first amazon mini. A few more undead for the horde. The Ror knight of Origo champion (just need the basic dudes now). An old Wizard I always wanted when I was a wee lad. some dwarves and a few more furniture/door bits... Enjoy

Painted Undead Minis....

Okay its official, I am actually painting my lead pile :)

Firstly apologies for those expecting an update last week I contracted deadly man flu and played the xbox all weekend..

I did not get everything I wanted done as a lot of the week was absorbed sorting through my minis again and shelving a 40k RT Ork horde (which will be being painted on this blog at some point) and ebaying the bits I don't want (go check it out there is a forgeworld baneblade at 99p start)..

Okay apologies and flogging my crap over here is what I've got so far. I have not based anything yet, still gathering materials for it. Just need stones now...
