Mousekiller Works in Progress: Armies of Death

Post by Mousekiller »

Across the arid desert a warm wind made its way, sometimes blowing pockets of sand and ancient debris with it. And with it also comes the smell of something long dead, of ancient battles and a once great civilization that is now one with the dust and sand of the desert. In many parts of this great barren nothingness, the curse of ever life still plagues the bones of the restless dead, stirring the spirit of Nehekhara into being.

COMPLETED SO FAR:

TOMB KINGS:
MAGOG, BONE GIANT

VAMPIRE COUNTS:
Pieter Von Carstein
20 Zombies

UPDATES:

TOMB KINGS:

NEB'NESEW

Manufacturer: Reaper Miniatures Warlord 14236, Neb'nesew Nefsokar Warlord
Sculptor: Tim Prow

Got quite a bit done on Neb'nesew this week. The robes, skin, some base work, metal work... Would have finished but I ran out of time... had to choose between him and the bone giant. Need to finish up the wood staff and some final highlights in places. Any other tweeks that you see? What would you do to elevate him?

COLOSSAL SKELETON
Completed this week!

You can find him on CMON: MAGOG, BONE GIANT

You can also find him at Mousekillers Tomb Kings Army thread!

TOMB KINGS SKELETAL WARRIORS

Manufacturer: Games Workshop 7th Edition
Sculptor: Colin Grayson

Worked the bones a bit and changed the shield color to stripes. Is it working?

Image

VAMPIRE COUNTS:

CALLUS DARKLORE

Manufacturer: Reaper Dark Heaven 02449 Callus Darklore, Necromancer
Sculptor: Jim Johnson

Another one that I could have possibly finished this week, but chose to spend the time with the Bone Giant. I did add scrollwork to the scroll, went back into the purple, and decided to go back in and do some more work to the face (I went very light on the face early on, and with the highlights and washes to the hair it got very muddy looking).

Image

ARRIUS THE BLACK

Manufacturer: Reaper Dark Heaven 02766 Arrius the Black, Skeletal Champion
Sculptor: Bob Ridolfi

Just started this guy this week. Worked the bone a little, armour, and the red parts of the armour. Cape is based.

Image

SKELETON WARRIORS

Manufacturer: Games Workshop 8th edition, unsure what company manufactured the unit leader
Sculptors: Aly Morrison, Brian Nelson, and Mike Anderson, unsure who sculpted the unit leader

Some bone work, base metal, and reds.

Image

DARK ELVES:

DARK ELF SORCERESS

Manufacturer: Games Workshop 4th/5th edition
Sculptor: Chris Fitzpatrick

Well, I opted to go with green for the other color instead of red... green, orange, and purple are triadic colors so hoping that they work together. I know the trim is more of a yellow than orange.... Also went in and worked the trim and purple a little more.

Image

DARK ELF CROSSBOW REGIMENT

Manufacturer: Games Workshop 6th edition
Sculptors: Aly Morrison, Chris Fitzpatrick, and Mark Bedford

Worked the purple a bit, still a few highlights to go. Metal is base coat.

I actualy like the faded purple, has a sun bleached and worn feel to it. Did you put any white into it?

Below the shapes of black ships could be seen moving swiftly forward. Hundreds of them glided on the water, the corsairs manning the oars with ease. Looking to his left and right, the shapes of black dragons dotted the sky, gliding with ease on the air streams as if the gods themselves wished the upcoming battle to come with speed. Everything was coming together now, all the dragon lord had to do was concentrate ahead, listening to the steady beating of his mounts wings. With great clarity he saw the shining city emerge on the horizon, the sun beating off the white towers...

Figured it was about time to get some unit folks done, so I finished the first three skeleton warriors. The next three are not far off, but I really wanted to just get something done. How do you like the colors?

I did a little bit more on her. Now that I have covered up the red on her legs, I want to go back and put it back in! Her hair is pretty much done, blackish with a hint of purple. More on the bone bits.
