Karabean Posted August 14, 2009 Share Posted August 14, 2009 Hi Mousekiller: I'm nowhere near your level but thought I'd put my two cents in. I love the colors you've chosen. There's only 1 thing that is throwing me off, and I don't know if you want to bother with it. The clothing photographs as looking clean, especially for the pant legs, and this is an army that's probably slogged through marshes and bogs rather than go around them. It would be hilarious to have a zombie stepping on a chicken or something, or dragging a chicken head hooked bt the entrails to its leg, and leaving a trail of feathers in his wake. Dunno where that image came from, just popped into my head. Cheers, Kara Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mousekiller Posted August 16, 2009 Author Share Posted August 16, 2009 Hello all. Well, I am going to try my best to at least give a weekly update on this blog. The going may be slow, but who knows, maybe the extra posting will help me paint a bit quicker... Anyway, still working on the cricified base. Did a bit more on the skin of the guy with the heads, plus did a bit with his pants. Also, gave a purple wash to the bone guy, which I think has really given his green skin a very dead look. Weathered up the wood a bit also. Added a pumpkin (I know it is a bit corny, but I really feel pumpkins will belong as a theme in this army). Weathered the chaos helmet a little. I think that covers what I have gotten done. Jabber: Will do. Karabean: Good and valid point. I will dirty them up once I get all the clean painting done (probably use Shield brown or a similar color). I love the idea of dragging farm animals in their wake... awesome.

DavidVC04 Posted August 16, 2009 Share Posted August 16, 2009 I love the model and the suspended corpse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mousekiller Posted August 24, 2009 Author Share Posted August 24, 2009 Not a whole lot accomplished this week (I know, I know...), but here is an army update shot to keep you waiting. David: Thank you as always. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidVC04 Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 Ooh, I'm anxious to see what you do with the vamp on the right. Sweet model. That wing can be daunting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mousekiller Posted September 5, 2009 Author Share Posted September 5, 2009 Ok, quick update with the weekend upon us. I think I finally like what I am seeing to a certain degree. I still need to finish quite a bit, but my goal is to at least finish these three this weekend... David: It is funny you mention him, because every now and then I pick him up off the shelf and set him with the stuff that is "painting in progress"... then I get scared and put him back. Every picture I have seen of him has been pretty amazing... so far I am thinking maybe a greenish base... but I am just not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidVC04 Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 They're great undead. Messy, muted, sloppy (but in a well-painted sloppy kind of way, seriously). Very nice. Now just imagine how much you'd get done if not for the O&G, OK, Empire, and Dwarfs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mousekiller Posted September 6, 2009 Author Share Posted September 6, 2009 Ok, still working on the 3 other zombies (they should be done tomorrow)... but in the mean time I am going to finally call something "done" with this army. I finished the sacrifice... so please tell me what you think. I also finished the "boss" model. DavidVC: I suppose... but what fun would finishing things be...

mousekiller Posted September 7, 2009 Author Share Posted September 7, 2009 As promised, here are the 3 zombies I have been working on. I will start the headless scene next... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mousekiller Posted September 12, 2009 Author Share Posted September 12, 2009 Quick update. Nothing done. Started on a crypt bat: And a few more zombies... the one with no leg will be on the same base as the headless one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mousekiller Posted September 14, 2009 Author Share Posted September 14, 2009 Ok, so now I am a bit conflicted. The storyline behind these Crypt Bats is going to be that they were once Vamps themselves, but lost almost all of the human part of what they were. So, that being said, lets talk about rust. Should I leave the rust on the weapon, or give the appearance that the Crypt Bats take better care of their equipment? Still a little bit more work to do (leather, weapon, base, wood, a few other things).... I did add a little rock wall to the base. Any other tips before I finish him up?

Lawgiver Posted September 14, 2009 Share Posted September 14, 2009 THe one returning the head too the other cracks me up. was that custom or already done that way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Karabean Posted September 16, 2009 Share Posted September 16, 2009 My vote is that crypt bats are living and so would sharpen their swords, the edge would be shiny. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mousekiller Posted September 19, 2009 Author Share Posted September 19, 2009 Ok, I am going to call this first crypt bat done. Let me know what you guys think, as there are two more to paint up... Lawgiver: Custom made. The models are from the GW Zombie Plastic regiment, but the poses were done by me. Lots of fun. Karabean: I went sort of half and half on this one, I tried to keep it somewhat shiny with a bit of rust on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mousekiller Posted September 21, 2009 Author Share Posted September 21, 2009 Ok, this is where we stand for this week. Here are the remaining zombies to be painted: And the next crypt bat, who still has a bit of work left to do on him: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
