I got the wings from maxmini, they come in packs of six which is awesome so you can do one for the scrubs and two for the ridemasters. But I saw your thread and it is amazing, though I am terrible with greenstuff and would be afraid of messing up great looking models

Well I finished up the death riders, I gotta say they were a joy to build. One qualm though was that they are on the smaller size so heroic weapons do not fit them very well. So the power axes look a tad large on the ride masters, otherwise they are gorgeous models.

Loving the hussar influence. It was something I almost wanted to include in my Marines but, they're basically vikings.

I loved how you mentioned the heritage bit, very nice.

Just awesome with those wings. I would love to see them painted, which colorscheme will you use?

Thanks man! I always try to include a bit of history or heritage in my models.

Probably my normal death korp color scheme, but with some weathering.

NIce work on the Death Riders. I think the wings really make them unique. Quite an army you are building here.

Thanks FSU! I am looking forward to having the entire army painted, which at the current pace maybe a year

So after a long week and some actual only death korp army games, I started painting my first death rider squadron and I gotta say painting horses somehow is tougher than I though. I also decided to give my hussar wings paint scheme idea a whirl so tell me what you all think!

Lovely work on the feathers!

Horses look good too, nice and subdued.

Thanks para! Yeah the horses were a lot tougher than I thought, especially the grey one.

Eesh its been a while since I posted, well I have gotten some stuff done. Mainly I have painted the gas masks and the armor plating for the mounts, minus the tubing but that is a easy job. I plan on restarting my raven guard now that the new codex is out, specifically being lead by the shadow captain korvydae. So I will be using a lot of assault marines and scouts, for this I have decided to go with a wetlands theme base and am using secret weapons miniatures blasted wetlands kit, and today I got one base done minus the water.

Riders are coming along really nicely! Looking forward to more Ravens, they're a very underused Chapter, I think!

Thanks para! Its defiantly been interesting painting them so far, hopefully I will have them done in time for the competition . As for the raven guard I really like them now, especially with the bulky troops getting shrouded til turn 2 and a plus one to night fighting. Along with of course the jump packs being able to be used both in assault and movement phase. Hopefully being paired with shadow captain korvydae, making assault marines troops, they should be like the old blood angels kinda.

So I finished my death riders yesterday, but was only able to get one quick picture before I entered them into my local gw painting competition. I will get more/better pictures when I pick them up later today. Otherwise these are probably my favorite models in my DKoK army thus far and I will be fielding them quite a bit.

They are lovely. The Polish Husar wings fit them very well. Congrats on a job well done and inform us about the outcome of the painting competition.

Oh yes, very nice indeed! Get some photos againt a nice clean background and I foresee you getting a lot of votes in this month's challenge!

Thanks mosby! Though I wish I was better at modeling so I could make them more dynamic like yours. On the outcome though I did not place in the competition, a converted heldrake won (who deserved to win it was absolutely beautiful) and the 2nd/3rd place winners were part of a gaming group that had all of its members in that day. Though I am not mad about it because that gak happens.

Thanks para! I took 5 pictures and idk which ones I want to use in the competition lol.











Also my fantasy group has decided to start mordheim and I decided to go with undead, of course. So here are the start of the henchmen

Those horsemen look great. I really like how the reds came out.

Great stuff!

The Mordheim stuff should be good!

Those riders look awesome.... this may have been mentioned earlier.. I will go back and read... but the wings and the whole "Polish Hussar" Theme works really well! Personally I like my DKoK to be dirty and grimy and filthy..... but the strong reds and blues... and the yellow flags on the lancer really stand out!

Really well done!!

Thanks! I finally got around to finding a good edge highlight color for them and I think it really makes it pop

Thanks para! and I am super excited for mordheim I always wanted to play but the mordheim league at my local store died out before I started fantasy

Yeah I have noticed my DKoK are a bit brighter than most and thanks for the kind words!

So I picked up a new model to lead my new raven guard army, Shadow Captain Korvydae. I have always wanted this model since I have seen it on forgeworld and his rules are so well suited towards the new raven guard chapter tactics. I am pretty hyped about this army since it was my first army and I have always loved the lore and fluff behind the raven guard.

Been a while since I've looked at this thread and wow I've missed a lot! Those riders look awesome!

Thanks man! And yeah looking back at previous pages it has been a while lol

So I put some paint to model with my mordheim vampire. This was my first time painting pale skin since my failed attempt 2 years ago and I feel like I achieved what I was going for.

I have to admit, I painted my first ever mini, a DKoK this weekend and I have a new found appreciation for those who can paint these things well! So hats off again! Really good work!

Maybe if you had a spare minute you might pop on over to my blog an give your opinion on my attempt...... would appreciate the comments.

cheers,

Looks good! Practice for the XX Legion?

Paradigm wrote:Looks good! Practice for the XX Legion?

Yeah because I am actually comfortable enough to paint faces now lol. Though I think I will go with more of a grey for the faces instead of this white now that I look at it.

So I finished up my mordheim vampire, for some odd reason light that wasn't from my daylight bulbs was getting in so the picture was a bit off but not too much. I also got to work on shadow captain Korvydae, mainly his jump pack and his head, I decided to go with more of a grey skin tone instead of a white.

All looking great!
