About the Project
I brought some two Pendraken Warband armies about two years ago - built one and the other is still in their bags! I have decided to build the remaining models, paint them up and play a few games using these gorgeous looking 10mm models. First up - is my undead army, shortly followed by the armies of the Dragon Men. Then they shall meet on the field of battle and try out the Warband Rule set.

Undead army nearly done
Undead army awaiting varnishI’ve pretty much finished the undead army. It now only needs varnishing and basing materials to finish them off.
Painting the models on the multi base wasn’t too tricky with the skeletons – however I’ve mounted two units of the Dragon Men onto their bases and they are a little trickier to paint. They have more detail and also I’ll be using more paints. I’ve almost finished the Baron (the commander) and started a unit of archers. I’ll try painting the knights next but will try blue-tacking them to a lolly stick for painting instead of glueing them onto the bases.

I made good progress on my undead Warband army, almost completing 5 stands and started the final 3 stands.
My technique consisted mainly of using base coats, some layering and then washes. This was a quick way of painting the 50+ miniatures but also presenting them in a good tabletop standard. I learnt from painting Baccus 6mm miniatures that it you can spend too much time on a miniature and you won’t really notice a difference – especially from afar on the tabletop.
I was hoping on starting my Dragon Men Army tomorrow but I seem to have misplaced their 100x50mm bases! I have ordered some more (plus other reinforcements) from the Pendraken online store. The final 3 stands of skeleton warriors will have to last for now! 🙂
Undead Army after first day of painting The Beginning
So about two years ago I bought two Warband armies and the rule book from the Pendraken online store. I assembled the undead army and primed them in Army Painter Skeleton Bone – and that was that. The Dragon Men didn’t even get out of their bags! At the time I had many projects on the go (Kings of War, Test of Honour, Bolt Action) so the little 10mm men went into storage.
Yesterday, whilst sorting my collection boxes, I stumbled upon them again! I was impressed by the amount of detail in these tiny 10mm models. I also have Baccus 6mm and Flames of War 15mm but this scale is my favourite ‘non-28mm’ scale.
Today I will paint as much of the undead army as possible – until my eyes ache and start to cross-over (Baccus 6mm Imperial Romans I’m looking at you!)
