I like em both, thanks for the nod on the temple guardian, your's is a little better kept than mine, the priests forgot to polish the metals on mine, lol.

Nice to see the ghost not painted in the LOTR greens too!!

Rob, I have eyed the MSB Toys versions of these characters for quite some time now.

Your thread makes me succumb. ::)

The guardian is very nicely painted, but the ghost nails it: Really terrifying(Well painted, though...) without using the standard 'ghostly' colours!

Wow, thanks guys, I'm really surprised that you like the ghost so much as that was the one I was least happy with.

I was going to try the LOTR ghost effect on her, then realised I didn't know how to do it and decided to make her a bit more "fresh" looking instead. Its still a slapdash paintjob, though. Lots of drybrush and wash.

Apologies for the threadomancy, but I finally got round to finishing a few more bits for this project.

First, I finished my Vampire and Zombies, all heavily inspired by the movie Legend of the Seven Golden Vampires. I had a total block about these until I watched it.







They are very quick jobs as I wanted them to look dirty and foul, as though they'd just crawled out of the grave. I think (hope) I pulled it off.

Also finished a while ago now, but forgot to post, my Vampire Hunter captain:



And a couple of his pressganged local bruisers (Curteys minis, not Black Hat):




Caught up with a couple of bits of terrain too:





Still got a Necromancer, the rest of the Hunter warband, and some Kung-Fu Monks to do. Will post as and when, unless you are bored and tell me to stop.  lol

Yep, dogs are Old Crow (think they cost about £2.50). The bridge is an aquarium decoration I picked up for £3 in a local shop. Just the right size though.  :)

Finally showing some real progress with this, so begging your indulgence once again, I present the Kung Fu Monks:



The rest of the Vampire Hunter Team:



And the evil mastermind behind the recent undead outbreak:



I may add a third Fung brother to the Vampire Hunters, and I have a couple of zombies that might get added too, but I need to finish a dozen peasants and get my terrain finished before I think about that.

Thanks for looking, all C&C welcome as ever!  :)
