Hello all I've been playing 40k for about 7 months now and painting seriously for about 4 or 5 months. Recently I have started playing fantasy also as the vampire counts. My general theme of the army is a charred look, as if the dead have been raised from the remnants of a firestorm. Also most of the rank and file will have some sort of green necromatic energy glowing from their eyes and if possible from their heart area. Anyways here is some of my models that I have already started.

Also I realize that a few of them still have flash on the models and I have since gone back and fixed the problem.

Thanks a friend actually gave me the idea, he doesn't play any tabletop games. And I thought it was original and went with it

Really liking the charred look and the glowy green hearts. However the banners not to the same standard. Incidentally have you seen the lovely greens and blues you can get from burnt bone at certain temperatures?

Thank you. Yeah that was my first banner every painted will probably go back in and highlight some of the parts. And no I have not seen that before

Hmmm I was actually thinking more of the symbol VG is slightly dull and I'm sure you could come up with something better. For the bone temperature thing basically the chemistry of the bone composition changes with temperature and depending on how hot it get depends on the colour it becomes. This includes a nice pale blue and a vivid green. I work in archaeology and come across this every now and again generally when someones burnt their dinner several hundred years ago.

Oh okay makes sense, I am pretty bad at free hand well haven't really tried before so I thought VG would be better than nothing. Also that is pretty cool I never knew that

Some Raven guard terminators I have been working on, I since have gone back and drilled out the barrels

Terminator Librarian, I am absolutely horrible at painting faces

Decided to paint up a warpsmith from the sons of malice warband just for fun.

A very simple drop pod I painted up. Liking the look of it, will probably paint the others like this also

Don't feel bad about not being very good at painting faces. I've been painting for almost 13 years and I'm just starting to get the hang of it.

Terminators look really good, though the drop pod really caught my eye. So simple, yet clean and those little white flecks (was that on purpose?) makes it look spacey and gives it just a little something more than black and white.

Actually that wasn't on purpose just an after effect of the painting process, like 5 or 7 coats of watered down ceramite white -_-, but I noticed that and decided not to clean it up

More pictures of my terminators rounding out the squad to a nice 5. Had to take them outside as it wasn't bright enough inside my house

Some WIP shots of another necromancer

I did test zombie model and I was wondering what you all thought of it. The main armor and cloth colors of the army will be purple and blue, so for the zombies I have about 5 or 6 blues lined up to make them seem like a ragged group

Finished another necromancer

Been super busy with summer school and working a full time job, so I haven't had much time to paint and or post. But here is a Terrorgheist I finished a few weeks ago
