Title: [WM] Horde of Satan - Undead
Post by: Satan on August 12, 2014, 12:01:31 PM
My friend Deathbullar was kind enough to supply me with some metal crack in the shape of an Undead army for Warmaster, which I promptly started to work on:

First up I undercoated the miniatures with a medium brown primer, followed by an airbrush coat of dark brown and then medium brown:

The miniatures were then given a coat of bleached bone:

Followed by skull white:

After that it was just a question of picking out the details:

I wanted the miniatures to have that old-school undead look like you get in the 4th/5th edition army book so I opted for using mainly black and browns contrasted with red and purple. I still have another unit of archers to add, a few chariots, war machines as well as a dragon.

What colours do you use for your wood textures?

Simplest possible - Leather brown base, dark wash, followed by a contrasting highlight of a leatherish-gw yellow and finally a drybrush of khaki on parts of it.

I've seen these guys invading the Warmaster facebook group- they look great!
How long does it take you to paint them? Is it mostly a quick airbrush and drybrush?

The airbrush work is pretty quick (but cleaning the thing takes forever...) and since the major parts are already covered it's all about picking out the details afterward. I would therefore say that they are very quick to finish actually. I don't know how many hours exactly, but all of what I've shown you so far, plus the rest that's still half-finished is probably about 10hrs of concentrated work.
