Greetings, fellow servants of the great necromancer.

I intend for this thread to be a repository for all of my works pertaining to the legions of death in the mortal realms.

To begin, we have my newly formed Ossiarch bonereaper legion, the Scions of Cripple Peak. I will have the first portion of some fluff detailing thier purpose and background shortly.

As to the army: I intend this to be a slow grow force. I currently have just bought the one box of Mortek Guard to work on.

In the other realnsof undeath, I own a sizeable number of 3rd party undead models from various sources, as well as a small detachment of Nighthaunt.

I leave you with where my progress is currently: 5 mortek guard painted and ready for the table.





I heartily request your comments and suggestions on my paint schemes, basing, the eventualfluffi post, etc.

The bony parts look nice and fossily! I really like that look.

Thank you very much. I appreciate it.

It's actually just skeleton horde over a white/grey primer.

Hey, Lord Marcus! I remember you from Warseer or maybe the Mantic forums...or perhaps both??? Anyway it is good to see more of the Bone Bois on the forum. I must say that your painting really seems to have improved from what I remember in the past. I really like the colour on the spear hafts, how did you achieve that?

Best of luck with future progress.

Nice guards! I second amazingturtles, the bone parts look really good.

Good bones - and good name!

Definitely both.

The wrappings on the spear was simply a layer of dark Angels green contrast paint. The blade was painted with a thin layer of moot green after a white undercoat. One's dry I applied a layer of hexwraith flame

Took the time tonight to assemble the rest of the mortek guard. My original plan was to have 1 unit of 20 spears. I decided to get a start on one unit of swords and one of spears and then to build from there.

I'm planning on rescuing a portion of my undead collection, including my unbuilt Nighthaunt, this weekend. They have been locked up in storage for a bit.

Messing about with bitz tonight. Testing things out.

The weapons and shields look like they fit those skellingtons well.

Thank you. I mainly just dug into my bitsbox and played around a bit.

current situation on the hobby desk after retrieving some of my death items from storage.

Started on The Procession of the Unworthy.

5 glaivewraiths. More chainrasps and other undead next.




Automatically Appended Next Post:
5 more skeleton warriors for the chaff wall. Shields to be added.

Really nice looking skeletons and ghosts. Love the eyes on the Bonereapers!

Thank you sir! I appreciate your comments. The eyes are simply a white undercoat with hexwraith flame, incase you were wondering.

I'm definitely a fan of how the glaive stalker guys came out, i like seeing them in such vibrant colors that still get across a ghostliness

Good stuff here. Those Mortek Guard look exceptional.

Cheers. There will be more where that came from.

I truly appreciate that. I have 15 more to paint from the box, then will probably buy more.

Also, built a wight king on horse during a hobby hangout with a buddy on Sunday.

Meet king Areus of Styxos.

To cap off the year I painted this guy:







I also got several things from the ossiarch bonereapers range for Christmas. Including a bone tithe Nexus, a box of Mortek Guard, and abox of kavalos deathriders.

Guess what's on the block for the new year?

I've also tried to fix my images to be better sized for the forums. let me know if this works please.
