[Ragnar]

Loving the Vulture legion.

There's some great stuff on here and the blog.  I like the Ghost army and battle reports especially.

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

Loving the Vulture legion.

Thanks Batty Coalhouse and Ragnar. They're not easy to paint and they are a labour of love.

Thanks very much. I do like writing up battle report and doing all the photo's and stuff. I'm glad you like them.

I thought I'd finished painting undead but it's October and it seem that this is now the month for all things ghostly and ghoulish (because we have to have a whole month of pushing sales ahead of Halloween, I guess). However, I digress... I thought I was done but then GW released those magazines/rules that come with a sprue of figures or paints/dice/modeling toys, etc... and I found myself with some of these ghost things.

I got two sprues but I have no idea where they'll fit into my army of the restless dead. But they look really nice and they were pretty easy to paint. I hope I did them justice.

Very effective. I like the green transitioning, it's not overpowering.

I'm on a bit of a roll again and I've finished a pair of ballistae to my elf army and a creature to go with my small but growing Granbretanian's.

I did these over that past couple of days. Eagles (obviously) and the other thing is an umber hulk.

Really love the Umber hulk.  That is a great scuplt

[Melnibonean]

After looking at cavalry options for my elves I decided to make some chariots as an alternative. I used some 4Ground mdf Egyptian chariots to make these along with Perry HYW horses and Oathmark elf infantry. They came out looking okay and I'm pretty happy with them.

As usual there is more info and more pics on my blog at: https://this28mmlife.blogspot.com/2020/10/pimpin-yo-chariot.html

Cracking additions

Hello there Melnibonean, I see you used the heraldry of Earendil on those chariots. My plan is to do the same thing, but with Fingolfin's crest on this banner. Any tips for getting it in that great quality?

[Grumpy Gnome]

Great chariots mate!

I'd say those chariots came out significantly better than "ok".

Loving those ballistae!

I'm always a fan of non brown wooden war machines, and that green definetily pops!

did you shave the skull and replace it with a shield?
how do you like that particular model?

[Melnibonean]

Thanks for all the positive comments folks.

Hello Thronde, I took the image and created a sheet full of the Silmaril image in several different sizes & printed them in high definition. I just cut them out carefully and glue them in place. I then give them several coats of varnish. Sort of like decoupage.

Hello Luigi, I did shave off the skull and replaced it with a standard from the Oathmark elf infantry boxed set.
The model itself is pretty good. You get two in a pack for $10 (in Australia) so that's $5 each, which is good value.
