So, its (almost) october, what better time to catch up on painting my undead hordes? I figured, since they're both undead and will be in the same army anyway, I'd lump my TK and VC together in one painting log.

First up, a shot of some skeletons I painted forever ago with a Wight King that isnt mine




They'll all be based with Agrillian Earth, as they're mostly located in the Badlands and Land of the Dead

The dune reaper from the Forsaken City fluff, and a teaser for something I'm currently working on.

Not an update, but does anyone know where to get some nice, warhammer-scale pumpkins? I want to do a special Halloween figure, since the army lends itself well to that kind of thing, and I'll need a pumpkin to make it really work right.

Sorry for the delay, I ran out of primer earlier than I thought I would, and have to wait till payday to get a new can, so I took the opportunity to work on some Skaven I'm painting for my brother (I'll post some pictures of them if you want, so far its only 11 clanrats done). Expect more undead soon, but for the time being here's a minor update.

Two custom markers I made simply because I was bored and thought using a spell card or a model from the unit as a marker kinda looked off. They represent curse of ages and ETBTS respectively. (Speaking of Entombed Beneath The Sands, Agrellan earth works perfectly for representing models emerging from the sand)

Finally starting to get the ball rolling again, I've got an medium sized on-going project in the form of a squad of Necropolis Knights.

The first model, Apophis (Named after the Egyptian snake god of chaos), primed and ready for painting.

I love the Necropolis Knights model, it really looks the part of a terrifying animated statue.


The knights sheild, before the Shade dried. Also serves as a first look at the Forsaken Army colors. The edge detials are done in Runefang steel, the center details in some shade of gold I forgot the name of (The orangish one), and the rest done in a 1:1 mix of Khorne Red and Rhinox Hide


The sheild after drying, other side still needs to be shaded. It will be glued to the knights back after the entire serpent/rider is painted


And the Necroserpent itself after the base coats in Khorne Red and Balthazzar gold. Going for the look of a statue you'd find outside the palace of a grand king, as such it'll be mostly gold and silver (Gold for the body and tail, Runefang steel spine details, Auric Armor Gold for the body details like the little carvings on its back.)


Some reason none of the pictures want to upload right, any help? EDIT: Got it

Model took much less time than expected, almost done. Just needs some touch ups, then an overall shade of Sepia, then an Agrax wash over the red, some detailing to obscure any issues the glue caused, and finally Agrellan earth basing. On a side note, I really dislike Dakkas image uploading, makes uploading in bulk a chore
