Hi All, As some of you know I'm making up a dual purpose Kings of War undead army This time, I'm trying to cut down on too much conversion work and trying to keep painting basic, to get the army finished as a large 'gaming' rather than 'painting' army... In progress so far: Mhorgoth the faceless: His 'magicky energy stuff' will be orange, and I'll paint part of his robe/inner clothing a brighter blue to match my orange/blue colour scheme (its his summper clothing ) Grenadier Rhino: the base is bulked up with 'steel putty' I recommend this stuff for big models basing! I've tried to make the trapped prisoners look more like lost souls The howda will be painted with the orange/blue scheme, and will be crewed by spare mantic skeletons. Will keep updated, all comments appreciated!! ------------------------ Mhorgoth pretty much done... ------------- Howda for Rhino (now I have the fin of pinning the big lump to the bigger lump! ------------------- Queen Khalida is a great model, but I wanted my own version, so it was off to the internet an I came back with this lady: I was going to use her unmodified, but changed my mind. I decided to keep the sword (love the detail and pose) but added bandages and partial deat mask. I'll be following the same orange/blue & odd bits of evil green scheme, but would also LOVE to mount her on this: http://www.thehobbykingdom.com/ProductDetail.aspx?CID=1137&ID=8190&RetURL=%2fMarketplace.aspx%3fCID%3d1137 but am unsure if would A: work or B: just stand out too much from the unit (leaving her open to true line of sight in fantasy... any ideas welcome!

I really dig Mhorgoth, especially the green flames. (Has nothing at all to do with my plan to have my sleeves coloured, honest)
The Rhino is one seriously sweet piece. Looking really good dude.

Just noticed Mhorgoths lighting effects and there being a green directional lighting effect on the arm holding the orange flame. Bloody sweet paintjob though.

OK update for the last day of January well, i got stuck in, and in 2 days painting got 40 skelletons done! well pleased with that. Skeletons with Bows mores skeletons with bows Skeletons with spears GW vampire counts skeletons (with Tomb Kings shields from chariot sprue) with spears. First off apologies for the awful flash! I'll get better phots when my basing medium arrives (Vallejo sand - lazy good!). I was going to pick up a box of tomb kings skeletons, but they look so cartoony and chunky next to the mantic ones, that I changed my mind. THen I saw the vampire counts skeletongs, and boy are those so much better!!! best of all, almost all the armour, helmeted heads etc. are completely optional, and you can make them as simple (i.e. easy to paint) as you like!! I'll definately grab another box (after I finish painting all the mantic stuff! )

Another small update My personal general in both mantic and warhammer: Anethema (Revenant King / Khalida) Needed two more skeletons for the hand weapon and shield unit, so converted a couple of zombies with Skeleton warrior/GW Skeleton bits Next unit to be painted (plus another 10 spear men) That'll be all the basic skeletons I have done! Then its onto to the revenants

Those zombie to skeleton conversions are kinda neat. The orange you have painted onto your army looks absolutely fantastic! I can not wait to see what you do with the revenants.

Looking good dude.
The Irn Bru colour scheme is really growing on me.
Keep churning them out at this rate and you'll have a great army in no time.

Thanks It looks quite 'Bedouin' en'masse Yes, I'll be painting that unit tonight with a bit of luck, then its on to converting ghouls to have sword/shield possibly helmet, and giving the zombies spears, and possibly some armour. oh and another 10 spear skellies... Then I guess I better paint up remaining chariots, lieches... LOL!

Looking forwards to seeing him painted.
You are pretty handy with the ol' greenstuff judging by that shield.
