Thanks again, guys!

I painted up a champion made from a combination of Tomb Guard and Grave Guard bits along with a couple of more regular skeleton warriors.

Ooh, they look a bit good.

Awesome idea

Long live the Undead! Who would have thunk lime green could work so well on the restless.

How do you achieve that, I almost called it "splatter pattern" on the ghosts?

Thanks guys! : )

Cheers! I wrote down the method on my instagram a little while ago, copying the text here:

I primed the miniatures in Citadel Wraithbone, I then basecoated them in a 1:1 mix of P3 Necrotite Green and Scale 75 Toxic Waste Green. I used wet blending to create the transitions from Scale 75 Riff Green and to white respectively. I am not overly concerned with the smoothness of this transition since a lot of it will be covered up by further washes and effects later. The “bubbles” are then done by placing dots of very diluted paint on the surface. As the edges of these dots start to dry I use a clean brush to wick up the remaining paint, leaving a ring. There’s a lot of room for experimenting here. I wash the area with the background colour to blend the bubbles into the surface and then repeat the process, making sure that some bubbles of the new layer overlap the previous ones. That way a sense of depth is created. Stippling is used throughout the process to blend the different areas together. Washes of the base colours are used to either tone down the contrast or help with the transition.

It’s very much an iterative process so it’s hard to describe it in a step by step fashion but I hope the description above is somewhat helpful.

Another warrior rises!

Love it!

That miniature really tells a story.

Painted up another Son of Aryas!

Thanks all.

They're made with Tomb Kings Tomb Guard bodies and heads/arms/weapons/shields from the regular Skeleton Warriors. The head with the large spike is from the Grave Guard kit though.

Wow, really good!
May I ask, how you painted the metals? Sorry, If You already wrote it, I didnt read the whole topic through. The same style would fit perfectley for Oathmark skeletons.

[Swordisdrawn]

Very smart!

Dammit, I love your old bronze style. I can't seem to replicate it! I just always get drawn into putting a bit of metallic paint in, which ruins it.

No worries, the current recipe is this:
Base colour is VMA 71.041 mixed with black. I then use thin washes of Scale 75 SS camo medium green mixed with white. I apply this unevenly and let it pool and leave tide marks. If I'm unhappy with the results I tone it down with the SS camo green mixed with black. I finish by adding some variation with washes of Scale 75 Irati Green and Caribbean Blue.

Very smart!

Thanks!
