I think this is even more crucial with an undead horde b/c the huge amount of white/metal makes the models themselves blend together. <br /><br />sidenote, you're currently a 450 victory point favorite over Driver at the BoB...

I was also thinking of including some of the extra bits that came with the boxed stuff - like broken shields and armor laying on the ground.<br /><br />And hell yeah Driver, I'm still game for it. Though you will probably crush me into the ground, as I haven't won a Warhammer game yet.Blairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03768264617879363956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1056811416223616946.post-28387974644854134102009-05-30T02:03:28.898-04:002009-05-30T02:03:28.898-04:00Blair, getting down with yo' bad self! These look...Blair, getting down with yo' bad self! These look great for a freshman effort. I think you might just be a natural. Everything is neatly "within the lines", small details picked out (as Driver says, pupils dotted, blood in flesh tears, bits of bone, etc.), and the drybrushing is great on the weapons, etc. Looks just like I imagine a bunch of metal torn up from under the earth would look;) The best thing about having a first army is that you can go back and make stuff look quite a bit better with very little effort once you get a little more experience under your belt. I agree w/ Driver on a little more variety on the bases, and this could be accomplished SUPER easy by highlighting the rock/sand. If I haven't already given it to you, email me, and I'll be happy to share my own super fast and easy way of making great-looking stone. Keep up the good work!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1056811416223616946.post-19983348190164006742009-05-29T19:32:08.974-04:002009-05-29T19:32:08.974-04:00These are looking great - eyeballs even on the zom...These are looking great - eyeballs even on the zombies! As far as what the base needs - have you thought about a third color? If we lived near each other, i would supply you with some dark green tree stuff to see if little bushes would look decent. My plan for my lizardmen - which so far have not had a drop of paint put on them - is to base the crap out of them. (I am thinking 3-4 colors of stuff per base, such as mud, rocks, grass, shrubbery, and jungle growth.) Your bases look good even if you leave them as they are. <br /><br />Are you still up for first round challenge?Mr. Driverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01283935515698984326noreply@blogger.com
