Hey folks.

I made a bit of progres on the display board. The lowest tier has had one half of it covered in sand and flock. It's mainly done with my airbrush painting wise, with the flock being added afterwards. The texture matches the base of the terrorgheist and overall, I'm relatively happy with it.

Some WIP shots:









I also magnetised the base of the withfate tor tower to the middle tier. This way, I'll be able to remove it from the display board and use it in my regular games as I see fit... The challenge will be to get a smooth transition for it so it' blends into the board well.

I made some sand ballast around the contours of the base of the tower and then put in 3 5mm neodymium magnets. The base of the tower was then given 3 attachment points with magnets and greenstuff. A picture is worth more then a thousand words in this case:



Three of these magnets were drilled into the foamboard and secured with PVA glue and plastic putty:



They clamp on to the three magnets set in greenstuff seen here.

That's it for now, see you next time!

Very good idea with the magnets!

Loving the paint work, very realistic.

Finished the big boss. It's a very sobre and simple model... so it didn't take to long to finish at all...

I like that ghoul king, its a really nice looking model.

Thanks man, I did do a little rework on him by adding a few glazes (mainly to tone down some of the starkest highlights that show up in the photo's)






It's hard to match the smoothness of the big models that are done with an airbrush...

Your painting and terrain modeling skills are impressive indeed! Wow. I learned a couple things here and will make an opportunity to try them out if I start doing WFB scenery again (specifically the stone walls / walkways).

Really great stuff here. Subbed and I'll be back!

Lovely work - hey, do you find the magnets stay in well with just green stuff? I have a terribly time with mine pulling out of whatever I've put them in. Of course, that's usually a magnet to magnet connection.

There is a drop of superglue or two involved in that bond as well.

The next bit has nothing to do with my VCs... But I don't seem to have a thread on these boards about my skavenforce, so I'll add it here.

My wallet took a FW hit:











Some WIP of the big verminlord

Love that model, hate working with resin however... :(

WOW. That is some friggin awesome looking OSL. Absolutely gorgeous. I'm really jealous of your skill! Was that an airbrush job?

Also, the ghoul scheme is really striking. I'm picturing how it's going to look en masse and I think you're on to a winner. Do I see some spectral green in the eyes, too?

Truly an inspiration. Keep up the amazing work.

Yes, the verminlord is all airbrush and wash work up to that point.

There is also a little green worked into the eyes of all the models. The green will be used for ethereal models and as a spotcolour for the ghoul elements. I'm not entirely sure what colour to use livery/cloth however. I don't want to use browns on units like skeletons... I think that might make them too monotonous.
