The whole thing looks fantastic. I love the town and the undead (2 and 4 legged) are all well done. You were wondering about tattoos and I have two possible suggestions you could try to see if you like either. Thin your "ink" sufficiently that it becomes partially transparent. It should give an under the skin look. The other possibility that should have the same effect is to cut your "ink" with some of the skin tone you are using. That should cause it to blend into the flesh and produce the same effect as the transparency.

Agreed, fantastic table!
I'm hoping to get into DA/LotOW in the next year or so, and I enjoy diving back into these threads for inspiration.

One trick I've done for 'cheap' faded tattoos is do them in black (or with a transfer) then do a light drybrush of the skin color over it. You can see the result on the two large "Bloater" models here: https://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=120886.msg1623317#msg1623317

Thanks a lot for your feedback and for the advice concerning the tattoos. I will give it a try with the other members of my chinese posse.

I was able to finish some more Apache braves during the Holidays. That must be roughly half of my Apaches by now. The rest have to follow soon (see last picture, including the Werwolves and the Werebear).

Looks awesome! Covid permitting, I'd like to get a Dracula's America campaign going again.

Thank you, metalface. I would like to resume my Campaign for Dracula's America, too. I hope we'll get rid of this pandemic disaster in the near future. I have developed a cooperative campaign of DA together with my son and would like to test it with my friends. It's called "Godless" and consists of three acts, each divided into three chapters. It is for four players, each playing one novice and one veteran character with unique skills for the campaign.

In the fist act, "Blood Canyon", the players have to stop a Zombie force in a canyon outside of their hometown. The more zombies they put to eternal rest, the less will show up in act two in town. In the canyon there are corpses and a deserted camp, where the player characters can search to find goodies like holy water or silver bullets or, (if they are unlucky) death or disease.

Act two takes place in the small town of "Hope", where the players have to escort as much civilians as possible out of their houses to the church in the centre of the board. There the civilians have to pray together with the reverend to create a warding circle. The more civilians are saved, the stronger the circle will be. Each townhouse has it's own encounter table. As before, you can find goodies for the players or lurking zombies.

Act three takes place in a nearby ghost town, where the players have to defeat the Zombie Lord. The surviving player characters from act two will go there together with Hope's posse to face the ultimate evil...

But for now, I finally can present the chief of my Skinwalker Tribe, Raging Spirit, in Human form and Bear form:

The skin tones here are incredible. Great job!

This is a lot of models though. I recall DA being posse/gang level, but this looks like a small army!

Well done!

Thank you.

You are right,you cannot field more than 10 models in a game, but due to the high mortality of characters in our campaigns, it's better to have some replacements ready for action, just in case...

Great looking additions - very nice work. I particularly like the blue shirt on the bear to reflect the chief in human form

The campaign idea sounds good too. Hope you get some games in soon - we have found video games work well for skirmishes

Co-op campaign sounds cool!

Nightpaw · « **Reply #56 on:** January 06, 2021, 09:17:37 AM »

Thank you.

Today I have finished the chief's right hand, the second Skinwalker, Bark-at-the-Moon. I have tried to do some warpaint this time, because the model looked a bit boring without it. Google told me it was an Apache warpaint pattern, I hope that's right.
