Cygor Painted

Thanks to my lovely photographer I was able to get some pictures of my painted Cygor. I'm still debating whether he should get some blue warpaint like the rest of my Beastmen will have. I also need to put some static grass onto his base but I haven't settled on what mix of colors to use for it.

Ancient Ruins

 I've finished painting the Cygor last night but I'm waiting to take some good pictures of him. However, I've also been working on a test piece of terrain. I've assembled the ruin out of carved pieces of pink insulation foam. Although they have changed the color a bit so now its more of a light purple insulation foam. The finished blocks look remarkably like pieces of grape bubble gum. After cutting out the blocks and sanding the rough edges off they were glued together and the larger gaps on the bottom were filled with wood putty. I'd like to make 3 or 4 more of this sized ruin and then I'll move onto the next stage of applying texture and painting.  

One of my Beastmen is peeking over the edge for scale.

I glued the flagstones on irregularly for a more random looking base.

From the bottom you can better see the construction method.

Beastmen Cygor

I knew I wanted a big guy for my beastmen and my love of guys with one eye who throw things, from my childhood favorite game Crossbows and Catapults, came together in this guy.

I've been slowly working on him for a few weeks now and I'm happy that he's ready to paint. He is based off the GW daemon prince kit with a lot of greenstuff on top. I wanted him to be more apelike in posture so I stayed away from the giant that is the more common model. He actually stood about the same height as the new plastic Minotaurs which just wouldn't do, so I decided to elevate his base with a piece of the same Arcane Ruins that he is also using as a projectile.

Halloween Terrain Part II

Pictures of my finished barrow tomb. I ended up using some light green static grass that I had hidden away and some cut deer hair for the tall grasses.

Halloween Contigent Assembled

My Undead contingent ready to march to war!

 

I'm going to use the new GW banshee as a vampiress with the ethereal power, the floaty guys as cairn wraiths and of course a block of 25 skeletons. In the background is my barrow tomb painted up. Just need to get some dead grass colored static grass for the bases and the barrow and make some movement trays for my guys.

Halloween Terrain Part 1

I'm participating in a Halloween themed multi-player Warhammer Fantasy Battle game this coming weekend. My contribution is about 500pts of Vampire Counts and a piece of terrain. I wanted the two to be tied together and I love the archaic bronze age look to the Vampire Counts skeletons. So I thought a barrow tomb, perhaps that my vampire escaped out of, would be perfect.

Rough Sketch: thinking about some green lighting effects on the inside

Painted with a mix of carpenters glue and wood filler and then textured with sand and gravel

Next Step painting!
