Warband has gone down well in our household so I've decided to stop messing around with my old warmaster bases and try and paint a couple of armies using the 'proper' figures.

Santa was obliging with some undead (even if I had to order the figures, wrap them myself and look like suitably surprised on Christmas day, but who's complaining!) so I've made a start:



You'll see I'm cheating already as I couldn't quite face the number/time/basing faff involved with filling out a 100x50 base so went for 60x30.  Even so these took me a bit longer then anticipated (I was aiming for a base a week) but were a pleasure all the same and some archers are primed and ready to go next.

Hope you like them; my plan is by putting these up I should avoid distraction and actually finish.  We'll see how that goes... :)

Thanks.

I also use painting threads to keep my motivation up and find it works reasonably well ;)

Tell me about it :D.

Great figures, love the big contrast and welcome to the forum :)

Mostyn

Thanks for the warm welcome and kind comments.  There's nothing like a little positive peer pressure to get the toy soldiers painted. :D

Glad some like the contrast - a bit of a double edged sword really as I'm sure the skeletons would take half the time without the black lining.  And what kind of maniac black lines 10mm figures anyway really...

Rimmer: "Well, we didn't use it all, Lister. Who did?"

Lister: "Rimmer, aliens used our bog roll?"

Second unit, some archers, just about done in my 'week' target time. Helped considerably by the reduced numbers:

I think I may add a second type of flock just to liven up the bases a little. And to help distract from the poorly sculpted gravestone :D.
Hope you like them and thanks again for all the encouragement.
