Here's my latest effort, just a single hero but I'm pretty happy with him. The sculpt is odd though, he's got a gigantic head!

Nice, same for jchaos79 as well for that matter, and yes, his style for this undead army is very nice and consistent. Actually, any chance of some photos of the whole lot so far jchaos.
- I think I'd aim for something about the same size as a White Wolf Knight's hammer. I wonder if it'd be possible to drill through his hands and position it across his body like the one in the picture? I guess that depends on how big his hands are.
And you've inspired me to have a go at some 10mm sculpting myself. What are you using? It looks like milliput?
If someone know more tips, advices for modelling 10mm they are very welcome here? or in the thread "jchaos79 warmaster proyects"
Interested to hear how other folks are doing, even if there's no update as yet...
I'm also planning to make some 10mm scale walls - so far I'm thinking of making them of individual plastic stones and then getting them cast up in resin if they turn out ok. Before I go mad cutting out hundreds of little rectangles does anyone know if there are any ready made ones that look good? Failing that, does anyone have any suggestions as to what would make the most useable wall? I'm thinking it needs to come in 120mm strips, be about 6mm tall and have a fairly low flat base. Lookswise I think I'll aim for something like the current GW walls.pw: I know in modelling shops they sell the bricks to build up... a church, or a building model, or so on... When you have the little brick take thick cardboard, a special one... I dont know its name... in spanish is called "Cartón pluma". It is used a lot by art academy students. Then is easy cut the cardboad into dimensions and glue the bricks to make a wall. House is easy because you use a pile of bricks for the corners.
Stomm: Thanks for the tips. It will be great to see your in progress Nores Were.
A bit of a distraction from painting the Empire but anyway, here's my first attempt at a 10mm wall. Not perfect but my patience ran out for sculpting tiny bricks. Any suggestions for improvement will be very welcome.
Lex: looking forward to see how army painter works on 10mm. I have real curiosityMe too, so keeping a foto-log of all steps will be to everyones benifit 8)
Because that was the undercoat-can I had at hand at the time. I figured I would use the tan as a base colour for "something" once I would be painting these up (and they where always meant to be a proxy-kislev army), so I decided to have my gobs a tad more yellowish.. for the same reason I undercoated my Slaaneshi troops pink..... less to paint that way ;)
Lex: I'm guessing you were in Egypt for the scuba diving... Out of interest, why the light tan undercoat?
@Stomm: I'll put a picture of the wall so far below, do you think it'd cast up in its present form? It's got small gaps that might cause problems.
And finally, before my pics, thanks to Jorge for the brilliant Warrior Priest. When I get the courage up I'm going to drill out his hands and give him the hammer. And thanks to Jorge (again) and Stomm for the knights, they'll be the next unit painted once I finish the long slog of painting a unit of Halberdiers.
Personally I don't like the 'identikit' look, hence why I'm not that great a fan of the HE Swordmaster or Phoenix Guard units, as they're just the same figure repeated, and repeated, and repeated...
I'm sure that one of these days she will figure out that the time that I can start winding down in the evening is directly in proportion to the time I will finally come to bed...That's true in my house too but I{'m not so sure it'll ever be figured out!
I think the high elf alt models are far superior to the standard (faulty) spearman.
If I could get enough I would redo my entire High Elf army with them.
This wekk RL painting is impinging on my painting time so probably my last offering for this week;
One unit of savage orc boar boyz.
hy i post some of my initiated army , 3 pieces was painted some years ago (giant , 1 lobber , wyvern) some
was based and started to paint (the stand with all goblin green flock) and the other i just started to flock and basing 2 days ago , in a couple of days i've ended the started units (2 gobbos , 2 wolfrider , 2 orc) and near finished 2 unit of chariot , now i put some photos.
uhm any solution for a newbye on photos? ;D
The postman brought me another WM gift parcel today containing the last two knight I needed for my Inner Circle knights (thanks Stomm). Stomm's comment that they would look too samey struck a cord so I've spent the last hour ignoring my halberdiers (poor unloved grunts) and trying my hand at some minor green stuff work. Here's the result (they look samey but in a slightly different way):
I'll give the GS a couple of days to harden and then revisit these with a knife to sharpen all the edges up a bit. Hopefully a lick of paint will conceal the messier bits. If anyone has any ideas for how to convert the riders a little I'd be happy to hear them.
Inner circle? has it some background that we should know?In Warhammer Inner Circle Knights are the elite knights so this unit will probably be used with a magic weapon to represent that. I'm also hoping to hit on a paint scheme that will make them stand out a little. I'll have to look through the Warhammer Empire army book to see if I can get any inspiration. At the moment I'm thinking of giving them more gold than the other units and maybe painting the barding in red but I'm concerned that that might look a bit silly. I'll get a spare knight sprayed up and have a go at colour schemes soon.
Then it was on to the Knights. A nice, and some might say essental, addition to the army. I do idly wonder what might have happened if 'knights' in the list were omitted in favour of reducing the desert rider cost by 50% and making them a minimum choice in order to give the list a more 'saracen' flavour... but a nice addition nonetheless.With that, and some other (minor) changes you would end up with the SECOND Araby list that the ODT had submitted to GW at the time: Tribal Araby.
Pugwash, this banner is fantastic! How do you do that?
Anyone know of a good source for orc/gobbo banners?
Here I show you my second in the tale (third in the army) unit of bowskellies, straight from the SandLands to your monitor screens. A little challange, who knows where is the skelleton without head (skull)?
I think I should have done a wash on the red uniforms to give it more depth. Oh well.
Well I definately want to add sand, paint it brown and so on before adding any static grass. It gives the best effect IMHO. I am just wondering if there are any tricks to doing so after you've painted the figures without getting the base colours all over your figures short of being very, very careful with your brush, and of course using a very small brush, most likely a cut down old GW Fine Detail Brush...If you use sand on Elmer's, then dont paint, but soak. You need a bit darker colour, cause the bleed from soaking then stand will tend to create a lighter teint of the actual colour used !

Are you talking about not undercoating black, or any colour at all, but instead effectively giving the base a good soaking in say the old brown ink?
Seems a bit quiet around here has everyone stopped painting ???
Whilst on the subject are we having a new tale in the new year?
This has helped keep me motivated to paint what would have been a killer to do otherwise.
Options for the next tale are albion or chaos dwarf.
