Nice skeletons, lots of character (which is funny for skeletons really :) ).
Your productivity is great and very focussed.  Its cool to see a project as well defined as this progress so fast.


Looking at the pics again, I see a problem with glossy shine... Need to have a look at that new can of dull sealer I've started using. The old can worked very well with removing the gloss, not so much with this new can.

I dont know how humid it gets where you are in Sweden, but I ave up using spray varnish a couple of years ago, simply because it really can be very unpredictable from day to day and from can to can.  I currently usu matt acrylic paint on varnish, but that usually ends up semi-gloss.  The best and most consistent solution seems to be to use a tin of polyeurethane varnish, but I cant stand the smell indoors.  So I have settled for a semi-gloss finish on my stuff.

The thing is that it isnt really that noticeable in hand, but it becomes very apparent in photos. 

Anyway, more Songs of Stillburg soon please :)

Ask and ye shall receive, Cheetor! =)




I'm thinking this is some fallen elven warrior, hence the green colour. Something about the helmet made me think pointy-ears. I'm well satisfied with how he turned out, as I wasn't too fond of the sculpt. Have a few more of these Nightmare Legion guys, but will only use the unique poses. I'll probably paint them as "elves" too. Whatever that means, when talking about skeletons. Trying to get my skeletons to be as eclectic as possible - so far the only thing in common is bleached bone and boltgun metal. =)

The whole gang, as it looks now:


I've been painting and posting one or two minis at a time, but will do all the archers now (four) until I post any more pics. Looking forward to that! A bit fed up with skeletons now to be honest, so after the archers I'll probably go for some of the heroes. By the way, that wargaming illustrated monk is one MASSIVE guy! He's towering atleast a head above most of my old GW guys!

Cheers Rob! Just won a few sea elves on eBay - so who knows what'll pop up in the Stillburg region? =)

Speaking of that... I did NOT win the top right knight on this page:
http://www.solegends.com/citcat912/c20227empknights-h.htm

Anyone got him (Spear2) and/or the guy next to him (Flail2) - I'm very interested!

And oh - anyone have a link to a catalogue page for Sea Elves?

Haha, I've got the lot of those old marauder sea elves in regiment numbers!!

I got them about ten years ago from some chap for 50p each. We both thought they were woodies but I cottoned on when I saw all the seahorses and crabs on them..

Well done, I look forward to seeing them.

Nice concept, sea elves. Very elemental these elves aren't they.

I probably won't use them as a "species" as such, they'll just be regular old elves with a penchant for sailing and going "yarr!". =)

God, I can only imagine them as gay sailors!!!!  lol

"Hellooo thailor!" =)

I don't know - I never really fancied the poncy kind of elves. I'm thinking feral, long lived bastards with a foul temper.

Feral elves, like the 'Wild Elves' in one of the D&D or AD&D settings..?

Maybe... not too familiar with them. I'm thinking civilized, but hard as nails and with an attitude problem. Will give it a bit more thought when it's time to use them. =)
