Thanks again got the positive encouragement.

I've finished my undead to the point where I can put a large skirmish army on the table for Dragon Rampant or Saga AoM. Because of the release of the new GW collector series, I now have about 60 to 70 odd extra of the ghost figures that I'm using as my basic troops. These are easy to paint so I hope I can get them done soon so that I can field a nice big full sized army.

Anyway, here's the newest additions to my collection:

Great work on all these - very striking. And the zombie dragon is excellently done.

Thank you very much. It's a really nice model and that made it easier to paint.

Here are the last pieces (for the moment) of my undead army. I will add more at a later stage but, for now this is it. I also made a small Special Terrain piece for Saga AoM. This is to go with my Great Kingdoms list but could also be used as a special scenario piece.

As always, there's a bit more on my blog at: https://this28mmlife.blogspot.com/2020/08/whoso-pulleth-this-sword-from-this.html

I am a bit confused how one can "finish" a tabletop project - I thought they went on forever or is that just because I'm too lazy and unfocused? :D
All joking aside, I love your thread. So many wonderfully painted minis and great little battle reports.

Ummm... How about, "sort of finished?" I did add the caveats "for the moment" & "I'll add more later."

Adding more to my growing fantasy collection, I painted some orcs riding on deformed looking boars. They're from Mantic and I think they're called Gor Riders. They came out looking okay but I didn't enjoy putting them together or painting them. I overcame my serious arachnophobia and painted some GW spiders (because they don't look like spiders).

As usual, there's more pictures on my blog as well as some pics of my new permanent little wargaming table. Here: http://this28mmlife.blogspot.com/2020/08/its-been-busy-week-in-my-wargaming-life.html

It's been a whole month since I posted anything on this thread. I have been painting but I turned my efforts to 15mm historicals for a while. However, I painted up a range of fantasy stuff over the past week and here it is. And, just for you, dear reader, I painted up some more Granbretanian Vulture Legion.

There are more pics a write up of my thoughts and ideas on my blog at:

Wow, Melnibonean.... those Vultures look as terrifying and depraved as I remember them from the book. Amazing painting - got the mood spot on  :D
