Marienburg vs. the Undeadish (update: undead & spooky stuff)

Cool. Nice bunch there. What colours do you use for your brown (which paint I am meaning, I realise it is brown, )

Which brown? (Corpses, spiders, bases?)



February has been a busy month so I've not had much time for updating or even keeping up with other people's posts & blogs. (Though I don't comment much, I read/follow a lot!) Kind of a stressful month, too. I hope I can paint a lot (and maybe some gaming...?) in March. Painting is my stress reliever -- I can use some more of it lately.

The big news is that I actually played a few games! But it doesn't exactly fit the theme of this section of the LAF, as it was 40k Kill Team. BUT, I will still sneak in one pic. Most of my 40k miniatures are long gone, and my other sci-fi stuff doesn't fit with 40k. But I did have some old converted space Skaven (spaven) tucked away in a box. I used them as a proxy for the genestealer cult. But I needed a couple of big
-guys. So I returned to a conversion from long ago, finished modeling it, and painted...



I'll have some more fantasy stuff to post soon. I just submitted my monthly entry to the Old World Army Challenge and will share that after it's up on the OWAC blog.

all excellent, but somehow missed that collection of skellies, which are fantastic.

The bog corpse brown.

The new guy is very cool.

The new guy is fantastic! Such movement, such perceived weight!

And I get the stress relief thing - I painted some stuff in the last few weeks because work had gone crazy.

They are a couple of different colors. Either GW Doombull Brown or Vallejo Model Color Leather Brown, followed by various washes (mostly GW Agrax Earthshade, the last of my Delvan Mud or one of my own concoction.)

And thanks!

Thanks. I'd been wanting to do this conversion since that plastic kit first came out! It seemed like a natural use of the extra parts (plus a few other bits...)

My next few weeks are going to continue to be busy and stressful. I think I need to schedule a full day off to relax & paint (and maybe even play a game!)

My February entry in the Old World Army Challenge!

You'll have to go to the web site to read the background. Here's some pics:

love 'em.

starting to 'get' the oldhammer lurve more and more (and I was there at the time!). some of the stuff from back when does have an endearing 'character' that seems lacking these days.

Thanks!



More recently: Trolls! I'm too lazy for even too much cutting and pasting. See the blog: https://www.zerotwentythree.com/2019/03/new-trolls-old-trolls.html for more info & pics.

Lazy bones. They've come out more than a little alright.

Ooh I like those elves. They're different enough that they aren't just humans with pointy ears, without being so different as to feel overdone. I'm too young to be of the 'oldhammer' era but a lot of the older stuff is growing on me the more I see it.

[ZeroTwentythree]

Thanks! I really enjoyed painting those trolls and I'm really pleased to have the full set again!

16 spear elves for my OWAC sea elf force done for March. Had planned on doing shields, but need to acquire them first. That is turning out to be trickier than I had planned.



More words and another photo at my OWAC entry.

For my own personal, annual Big April challenge, the only commitment I'm making is to finish the giant I left off with last April. For the rest of the month, I'm leaving it up in the air -- though still giant related.

[ZeroTwentythree]

Been working on these three figures since the tail end of Deadcember. Snail's pace given that they're a speed-painting dream, but they're finally done.

[beefcake]

Very nice. I loved those old elves. So good because even though they are all single pose it makes them look all the more regimented and disciplined.

[ZeroTwentythree]

Thanks, I hope that once I get the shields (and the rest of the troopers!) done they'll look a bit more interesting.
