Wonderful minis, sir.
The color scheme is very simple, but very effective, and your painting is very good.

And the last picture is just :-*

Nice project with great results.  :-*

Looks like you are going to have an excellent army there.

I especially like the leader with his helmet and cuirass. Based on him, are you planning to do anymore armored dudes? You should be able to make a really 'worth dying for'  ::) phalanx.

I'd skip the zombies 'cause the skeletors are coming out so very well. But that is your call, not mine.

Thanks everyone, it has been fun so far!

I've used up all my full skeletons that I had, so no plans for that, plus, I'd be lacking enough Victrix Hoplites for the conversions. It weally wouldn't be hard, but you're essentially using up two minis for one at that point.

For now though, I've had enough bonecolor to paint :D So I think I'll give the Zombies a go, just to break things up a bit. As I have only two bases of archers though, I might make archers of them and maybe a bunch of Peltast. I know, I know, technically undead have no peltast, but in theory I could just fill the ranks with some living units, which might also happen...

All done! I'm getting my parts for Zombies this week though, so I guess I'll be expanding.

Thanks! I'll have to paint up some terrain over time too, so I'll be able to make some more interesting scenic shots. In the meanwhile I've been converting...

Thanks. Giving them good poses was quite flimsy, but I think the effect is absolutely worth it. Aaaand they're painted quickly.

@Golgotha, currently times are a bit turbulent in my private life, but I'm trying to squeeze in as much time as possible to get the Zombies on the table.

In the meanwhile I'm preparing more stuff for a campaign and the article series that will go along:

I needed a little change, so I decided to paint up the first of my mortal troops - okay I admit, it's also a little practice before I tackle a...special four legged project...

The guy is done! I'll write a little article about the paints and so on in the upcoming days. It was quite a learning experience, as I tried a couple of new things on the mini. Up next...something four legged...
