Undead for 'Oldhammer'

[DeafNala]

GREAT minis & BEAUTIFULLY painted & based! The Almost Dead Guy in the front rank who has managed to hang on to his eye balls reminds me of the Crypt Keeper from Tales of the Crypt...this is a plus for moi.

That bone color is one of the better I've seen... usually they're too brown or too yellow or too something... but that is just right. Gonna have to try to copy it for some undead I've got waiting for the brush.

Nice looking unit. 

Although I must say that the look gives me the idea that you've soaked them in GW wash as the final step. I'd recommend a final hgihlight or something to pick out a bit of the detail. But if it's a 42380 miniature project that may not be as wise..

nice modells!

would you give me an explanation, how you painted your skeletons?
from wich company are your colors, which had you use, in which
order and so on...?

I am so nosey!

For the bone: Vallejo Model Color 70988 Khaki basecoat with white added for progressive highlights and then Devlan Wash all over.  Pretty basic, really.

As I find myself embarking on a similar project, I look on with interest!!

You mention ignoring the minimum unit sizes from the Army book: how does this affect game play? I am happy to throw some rules out the window also, but not having played a game of 3rd edition I can only imagine the longevity of the unit is the only variable?

Anyway, definitely looking forward to more. I hadn't perused the RP site in detail before and you've really come up with some gems!

Thanks and keep sharing!!

I could be interested too. Here's my question: where can I find the 3ed rules? It would be cool to download something.

i love the skeletons from the eighties   
before three or four years i started to collect them, but
i have only a few, maybe 12 or 15. i don't know...
that remindes me, im MUST search them...!

Nice start!

I, too, am going to be embarking on an Oldhammer project next year and am torn between Undead and Bretonnians.

Nice to see your Undead inprogress, it may help me decide.
 






(Of course, I could do Undead Bretonnians, couldnt I?)

dead bretonnians...YEAH, very good! 
only dead bretonnians, are...

undead bretonnians...
why not?

anyone means to me one day:
undead armies are armies of loosers, because
all of them has lost at least one time...

undead armies rules! there are so much great models.

It makes games very quick, actually (especially when one takes into account the Reserves phase too)!  I suppose this can be a good or bad thing depending on your disposition.  Personally I recall friends playing WHFB6 with 2000+ points armies and taking five-six hours to complete a game.  That really doesn't appeal to me at all!  I've opted to build smaller units because 1.  It's cheaper!  2.  It allows for quick, fun games that are over in a couple of hours tops. 3. I can paint units up more quickly and 4. It allows me to build multiple forces more quickly.  Best of luck with your own project!

I think THIS might be what you're after!

Thanks for comments all: it really does inspire me get off the X-box and get busy with the hairy wand!

I've only just caught onto the 3rd ed renaisence and loving readign through all the stuff. It was the first ed. I got started on and digging the books out and seeing all the old artwork has been a blast.
I'm looking forwards to seeing how your project progresses.
