...and I'll just dump everything in this thread like I did with my Ultramarines. I've put these off for a long time and it's also been forever since I painted any AoS stuff, so I'm really just having a blast. Here are the Deathrattle Skeletons I have so far, 10 from Cursed City, and 10 from the regular AoS set.
These guys might be my favorite battleline unit to paint in the entire game. I usually hate panting big units and I really shouldn't be getting into another horde army after Skaven basically made me lose the will to live, but this I can handle.
And here are the Vyrkos Blood-Born, also from Cursed City. I'm still experimenting a bit with skin tones, and this isn't really what I was going for - I was trying to imitate the pale turqoise skin of the beast part on the Lauka Vai model, but for some reason it just came out reading as blue and I can't stop thinking they look like extras from Avatar. I'll have to do some testing on spare bits before I do any more skin tones - I like how these came out overall because they really pop from a distance, but I can't be using this same blue on more human-looking vampires' faces, it'll look really silly.
Great stuff. The blue skin looks amazing. The old red coats go really well with the weathered armour.
I can't really take credit for the color scheme on the skeletons because I got that entire recipe from Marco Frisoni's YT channel, but that's how I landed on blue/turqoise and scarlet red as an overall color scheme - they're complimentary colors, so it works really well.
