err... skulls for the skull throne?...

Awesome work! I really want to see the other super heavies finished, tho they'll have a hard job competing with the first one .

Awesome conversion! Keep it up.

I know right. I guess it will just blow them out of the way. The Legion can always add more corpses! Thanks!

Thanks! Hopefully this one is of the same standard as the first. lol

Well, after a few delays, the Stormlord is now converted up and ready for paint. This one is more of the Necromancer's "ride." It has the alter in the back, the columns with the skulls, scrolls, and tomes, plus a Liber Necris made from the tome from the Mortis Engine. I've used bits from the Dark Angels upgrades sprues, fantasy terrain, corpse cart, Chaos Space Marines, and various other fantasy and 40k bits. And as always, plenty of SKULLS all over it. lol

That is awesome, Mortis! I love it.

Thanks, Moltar! Glad you like it. And the painting has begun. Hope to be done with it by mid April.

I bet GW would get a skullgasm just looking at this. This is great! Ridiculously over the top but great!

So it has been a few months since I have updated this. I have been busy running a campaign since March and a lot of my time has been diverted into making terrain and scenarios for the campaign. Well the campaign wrapped up last Thursday and I can now once again focus on this project. The campaign ended in a big Apocalypse game, for which I had to build a huge temple, a 4 foot bridge, and a Thunderhawk, all in two weeks. It took almost the whole two weeks to get the temple and bridge done, and then I had 3 days to build the Thunderhawk. Since I was making the Thunderhawk mostly out of styrofoam, it wasn't too big of a deal. lol

Here are some pics of the temple, bridge and Thunderhawk.














And now on to the Stormlord. This is my Necromancer's "ride" so it was converted and painted with that in mind.













With that all finally finished, it is time to move on to the Chaos Warhound Titan!

That stormlord is insanely awesome! i love the candles and fire in green, definitely suits the necromancer theme, and the freehand on that tome is amazing.

Thanks! Actually a lot of the words and such on the tomes and scrolls are water transfer decals from Armorcast.

Well, it has been a while since I have updated this blog. Got distracted with school and then started working on my Deadlands table, starting up a new gaming group, and then making terrain and creating scenarios for Nashcon 2013 and 2014. Most of the original projects in the first post have been completed. Still have to paint that Warhound Titan. I also started expanding my Necron army, and started an Imperial Knight Army. I will post pics of those soon. But in the mean time, here is something that I finished up yesterday.

My first venture into wargaming began with 3rd edition Warhammer Fantasy in early 1990. I began with an Undead army with models from various companies such as Grenadier, Rafm, GW, and others. When 4th Edition came around and the Undead got their own book which introduced Nagash into Warhammer lore, I loved it. Nagash's back story was great. (At the time, I had never read the LOTR and didn't know how much like Sauron Nagash really was, and that Sauron was probably the inspiration for Nagash, but I digress.) Then a couple of years later, they bring out the Vampire Counts book with no Nagash or mummies. Bummer. Then Tomb Kings came out in a White Dwarf article, but still no Nagash. Another bummer. I continued to play Nagash using the first Undead book however, which was fine. Then 6th Edition Fantasy rolled around with new Vampire Counts and Tomb Kings armies and Nagash disappeared as a usable character model in the game, even more so with the revamp to Fantasy that 6th Edition brought. So I switched over to 40K and began building Undead themed armies. But now. Now Nagash is back, and with it, my renewed interest in Fantasy, namely the Undead Legions since I still have a ton of Tomb King models that I use in my Lands of the Dead Warhammer Quest adventures. But, I still have a lot invested in my 40K Undead themed armies, so I plan on using the model in both systems. I will probably run him as Aetaos'rau'keres for Daemons, since all my daemons are Undead models anyway. I have put him on an oval base for 40K, and will magnetize the large fantasy base and the oval base in order to use him in Fantasy on the correct base.

But anyway, Pandora Radio and painting Nagash is how I am spending my Sunday, and the start of this project.

Wow, skulls on the desk, skulls on the Stormlord... you've got a theme going

The great unclean one looks magnificent!

The GUO is awesome, love the rust and verdigris.

The thunder hawk needs to have magnetized streams of skulls pouring down from it. (Carpet bombing with the skulls of the dead) just think how demoralizing it would be to have it raining skulls while your being shot at .
