Vampire Counts Vargheist

 Lots of painting has been done lately.  My issue right now is just getting them photographed and put up here.  As you can see, some Vampire Counts have been seeing the painting table.

Tomb Kings Necrosphinx

I'm still alive and I actually painted something.

Reaper Oloch the Warpriest

So I picked up and painted this guy a number of weeks back for the Kingmaker campaign that I'm playing in.  Its from the Iconic line of Pathfinder models.  

Lizardmen Temple Guard

Here's some of my Temple Guard.  Looking back on them, there is so much more I can/want to do.  Even with their faults, I still enjoy the models and the way they came out.  I have 20 Temple Guard, but only 10 are "finished".  The other 10 are mostly done and just need some time put on them.  

As for the paint scheme, it's my standard Saurus colors and techniques.  I think the red and blue go to together real well and the gold is a great contrast.  I definitely want to work on the gold some more.  

The next unit up on my Lizardmen post list are my plastic Saurus Cavalry.  Pulling them off the shelf and dusting them off, I had some minor repairs to make.  I also saw a few small opportunities to get their paint jobs up to snuff.  Look for them next week sometime. 

Lizardmen Saurus Cavalry

Continuing with the Lizardmen theme, here are my Saurus Cavalry.  These are the older edition cavalry that are combination plastic Cold One and metal riders.  I've always loved these models.  I started Lizardmen at the tail-end of 6th edition, so the current plastic ones were already released, and I still really like these models.

Even though I painted these models years ago, I think parts of them still hold up.  There are definitely room for improvement, but due to the rather large size of my Lizardmen army, it would be a large undertaking.

Lizardmen Skink Chief

I felt that the lack of Lizardmen on my blog was an unfortunate oversight.  Lizardmen were my first army for Fantasy and still one of my biggest point wise.  I had originally painted the army in different colors and in a different style than the style it is currently in.  I repainted the entire army in a 3 month period.  For the most part, I think it still stands up, but have started to think about revisiting them.

The model here on display is a metal Skink Chief.  The simple pose and equipment on this guy is just great and kinda rare to find on hero level characters of the era.

The skin is a lighter blue that I used for all my skinks.  His larger scales were done in a mustered yellow color and are also consistent throughout the army.  The shield is of the same style as the entire rest of the army, skink and saurus both.

I plan on posting some more of the army in the coming days.

New Camera Pics

Been messing around and so far I like the way these guys came out.  These pictures have a much better color representation of the model than their previous pictures.

Skaven Stromvermin Command

The command for my 40 strong Stormvermin unit.  This unit was the first real big fantasy unit that I started individually highlighting the model.  You wont find any drybrushing on these guys.

Vampire Counts Grave Guard Command

It only took me 5 years after they were primed to get around to my Grave Guard.  I have a unit of 20 of these guys.  This is just the command to give an idea of what the whole unit looks like.

Vampire Counts Heroes

These are my Vlad and Krell models.  The Vlad is an older paint job that I updated a bit and added a few things to. The Krell so far is my only Finecast model.  After all the work I had to put into him the only real advantage to me for Finecast is the lighter weight.  All in all not a fan of Finecast so far.

Corpse Cart

This Corpse Cart was part of my Vampire Counts army update that coincided with the new army book.  This was to replace the other cart that was bashed into my War Alter of Ulric for my Empire army.  Everything is new except the zombies.

WIP High Elf

Justin hasn't touched this guy in a few weeks, he's been distracted with all his new Eldar.  Really his shield just needs some work and his gems need to be done for him to be complete.
