Smokezombies SA lurkers.(24/1/13 werewolf)
« on: October 10, 2012, 07:02:23 PM »
I'm not a very prolific painter and..well...I'm hoping this project will actually get finished.
This is the start anyway..
One banshee and two wandering spirits. I'm in the process of making their grave markers.



And it's all Masons fault.

The sickle in the fruitful field;
The sword he sung a song of death,
But could not make the sickle yield."

Cheers Superflytnt, Cherno and Mason.
I want to add a bit of that clump flower/ foliage that ive seen people using to the bases yet but it's nice to have them playable.
I have a fig for a mojo on order too. Still looking for a suitable poltergeist mini tho.

I've sent the cultists off to be painted for me so now it's on to the undead section of the lurkers.......ZOMBIES!!!!! I might be a while.


Nowt wrong with those books Mason.  I quite enjoyed the Harry Turtledove alternate history ww2 series. The other spines include two forgettable 1950 sf books, Ursula La Guin, an unread book called African Genisis ( from when I used to be Indiana Jones) and a recently purchased Lovecraft compilation ( which I started reading on a night shift and scared myself witless with!!)

I wasnt commenting on the books, just the fact that they might be haunted!
Must be the Lovecract compilation..... ::)

Perhaps they are :o

Fortunately there is a hard as nails priest on the shelf too. He should keep them in check.

At least he will when I've finish painting him.

They look great mate, very chilling looking.
The lack of colour works really well on these miniatures.
Great stuff!

Cheers Styx and aggro84. They are two reaper ghosts and a GW banshee.
I was going to use the banshee as a figure head on a ship for my dwarf pirates ( and call it "the banshee") untill I had a change of mind wanted to call their ship " the naughty lass".
The dwarfs had to retire as a warband last week.. Sad days.
But it meant there was nothing stopping me from using the mini. I'm rather taken with the idea of ghosts as lurkers for SA, can't wait for my mojo to arrive.

Hello Lockswin!! How's stuff? You going to SELWG this Sunday?
They actually have a blue tinge to them IRL but are a bit washed out in the pic ( I also think they actually look a bit better in the pic than they really are.  :D. Result!!) I'm looking forward to bringing my own lurkers to the table. I'll spank those Irish boys!!.... Or give them something to laugh about.

These look solid and I like their muted tones... they remind me of black and white ghosts that show up in pictorial "evidence" that ghosts exist.

Thanks for the fig ID.

I like the ship name "the naughty lass" better than "the banshee" too.  :D

I like the color scheme you have chosen. Muted grey instead of bright greens or blue. Gives them more sinister look. very nice :)

Many thanks Yetis Yell and Relic.

I'm getting the prep work done on the undead and basing them. Hopefully they'll all be done by this time next week.
