My Undead Army

[docdom]

I already finished the core units of my undead army. Five units of spearmen and four units of archers.

Today I finished my main striking force. Three units of chariots. Next some cavalry as support for the chariots will follow.

They look great!  I like how you based them too.  I am eager to see more!

Excellent painting and you are churning them out quickly - well done!

Did you spray black and then drybrush for the bone white or did you add any other stages (inking?).

Thanks for the comments guys! For the bases I just paint them scorched brown, then highlight with bestial brown and just a little bit of bleached bone on top. The skeletons were first primed black, then I highlight them with bleached bone and finally skull white. Maybe I should use some more white on the highlight next time because I like the look of Vincents skeletons in his egyptian style army.

Now some cavalry acting as bait or light support to threaten the enemies flank.

Today I just joined the tale with the following units:

- 1 Tomb King
- 3 Liche Priests
- 3 Skeleton Spearmen
- 1 Skeleton Archers
- 4 Skeleton Cavalry
- 1 Sphinx
- 1 Skull Chukka
- 1 Bone Throwers
- 1 Carrions

I think I will start with the Tomb King and his Priests first so the undead hordes get some live and are able to walk. Also then I can run some small demo games. I think some artillery and the sphinx in the army should increase the playing fun. But my main goal is to increase the numbers with lots of cheap units, so I got 3 more skeletons and 4 more cavalry to paint and I am standing by buying some more spearmen.

Meanwhile I added some characters to my undead horde. Painting these was a welcome change to the normal troops.

shadowy pictures but fitting i guess

looks good

[docdom]

Yep, you're right. I'm also unhappy with the yellowish haze. Although it fits nicely with the undead I didn't do it on purpose  . Maybe I should get in more lamps the next photo shooting. I'll experiment a little bit.

just an idea, try to balance the colour of the pic with a pic editor raising the level of blue. Anyway great undead army!!!

[docdom]

Thanks for the advice jchaos79. Sounds like a good idea. I will play around a lit bit the next time.

Yep he is. I am almost done watching seasons 1-6. lmao  It's so funny

[docdom]

I am happy that I'm making quick progress with my undead army. Almost spitting out troops like a machine considering my usual slow painting speed and lack of time. Today I finished two more Liche Priests to play 2k games and some artillery. As you can see I also experimented a little bit with the camera and light but I wasn't very successful.

The Mummy:



Skull Chukka:



Bone Thrower:

It's time for an update. Meanwhile I finished two more units of cavalry and a sphinx. Painting the large monster felt quite different to the other small 10mm stuff. Maybe I should get some experience painting 28mm and change to WHFB

Oops, forgot the pics. Here they are!
