Necrothrall does SAGA

I will come back to my undead to add more. I wouldn’t mind adding some creatures, cavalry and archers. As well as adding in some of the other warlord, herosion and monster variants.

I’ll also need a terrain piece.  But for now I’ll make do with the mausoleum my other half painted.

I’m having to split these up because I can’t seem to load more that 4 images at a time, without it crashing when I try and publish it. Please bare with me.

Here’s my undead as it finally stands at a mighty 10 points. A warlord, a sorcerer, a black knight, 2 points of hearthguard, 4 points of warriors, 2 units of mindless and a scourge.

While I’m waiting for all the flock to fully dry (I use foam flock, it can take a while to dry) I thought I’d make a start on my next warband. This time I’m going Great Kingdoms.  I’m make a miniature version of my military unit, which is my personal resource at Empire LRP (the larp I go to).

What I’ve done here is applied some texture paint, in this case Tamiya soil effect dark earth, and painted the edge brown.  Next stage will be flocking, more on that once I’ve done it.

A note on texture paints for basing. For smaller projects like this I go with the stuff that you can buy in a pot.  Just for convenience. But for terrain or big multi bases like the kind I use for Kings of War, I like to mix my own. Super easy to do. Mix polyfiller/spackle with sand and cheap acrylic paint (I use brown). Then apply it to your bases/terrain. It drys rock hard and takes a drybrush well.

I’m back from Empire.  I have begun washing the mud out my kit and painted these guys.

I just need to varnish these guys and then the flockening can begin.
