Some miniatures for Song of Blades and Heroes (Frostgrave undead and construct)

He's a bit nice. Love the eye on the horse.

Really nice job on the horse, very eerie looking. 

Loving this thread, so much inspirational material!

[Hobgoblin]

Thanks! I was going to do a lot more to the horse after a basic drybrush and wash treatment, but it seemed to be working OK, so I thought I'd just leave it.

On Tuesday I saw the Bosch film that LCpl McDoom pointed out, and I'd highly recommend it. The cinema screen is perfect for seeing the details of the paintings close up.

And here are a few more chaos warriors. With two or three more, these'll make up a horde element. I'm going to start assembling the horde bases tonight.

I'm very much enjoying the rapid, rough-and-ready painting of these guys. They don't need to look great individually, just suitably weird en masse and on the tabletop. I suspect painting is often more fun when those are the objectives.

If that's rough and ready painting!! Looking good to me. I particularly like the few strong colours, against the mainly muted ones (like the feathers (?) on the back of the head of the LHS guy).

[Hobgoblin]

If that's rough and ready painting!! Looking good to me.

Cheers! It's just wash and drybrush, drybrush and wash, plus the odd spot detail.

I finally got the base of the third orc horde done. It's an irony of Hordes of the Things that painting up the one-point units takes much more time than the two-pointers. The four- and six-pointers, of course, are the quickest of all ...

[Hobgoblin]

And here's one of the more Boschian chaos warriors. It's a terrible photo even by my dismal standards - the skull is all bleached out for some reason, when in reality it's much more boney-looking (and much less white) - identical, in fact, to the standard-bearer above.

[Severian]

Some fine recent additions here. The sigils (freehand, presumably!) on the chaos standard bearer are especially good.
Great to see your orc hordes assembled, too - the variety in size and colouring works really well.
It almost goes without saying (but I'll say it anyway) that the combination of speed and quality in your painting is truly impressive...

[fred]

The Orcs have come together nicely - looking very good - this is going to be a great looking army.

[Hobgoblin]

Thanks!

Here's a nasty wee creature to skulk beneath his betters on one of the horde bases:

[Hobgoblin]

Here are another couple of shots of this guy - who's a bit like this guy:



I got the first four horde elements based up last night, so hope to get the bases painted tonight. The fifth one, with the mantis-clawed toucan-man, is almost there, but I need to paint up a couple of suitable figures to go on his left. Of course, four hordes is just the same number of points as the Grim Reaper hero, who took a fraction of the time to paint ...

[affun]

That's a pretty spirited conversion.
I want one of those, now :b

[LordOdo]

I agree with Affun,  that's the best one so far! I need one like that as well!

[JollyBob]

That is so cool! 

Excellent work all round, really.

[Hobgoblin]

Glad you like him! He's a very simple kit-bash: just Perry foot-knight arms on a GW gnoblar body with an appropriate gnoblar head.
