Thanks, I actually found the model quite dull compared to say Ranlac.
True I am not fully over the flu by a way, but it seemed to be less inspiring?

So I do love a bit of undead painting but am keen not to get distracted by even more projects (I know what I'm like) so I've managed to shoe-horn Deadcember into my very slow Lone Wolf progress. And unlike the fake orcs, sorry, giaks the Vordak is legit for Deadcember as they are 'hideous lieutenants of the Darklords and undead!'
I have fond memories of this guy as he killed me and my dad (separately) on our first reads when the lone wolf book 1 got brought home. I don't want to give away any spoilers but suffice to say there are no good options when you get to this guy, only least worse ones.
I have no idea why I put flock in front of his named base.... And the purple flame motive on his cloak looks more like purple leaves which wasn't quite the aim.... But at least my Giaks have someone to boss them around now!

Thank you.
It still seems an underwhelming model though.
Saying that I have Heinrich Kemmler next and I am worried that he will not be as cool as he should be.
That is nicely done, I especially like the milky eyes of the raven which make it clearly not right.

Daddy Kemmler will turn out fine.
Ranlac having eyes weirds me out, do they roll about when he gets hit?

Ha. The model has sculpted on eyes so I figured why not paint them.

'Skews me...here's my Deadcember effort.
That little scrap of shirt under his ourstreched arm is one of the thinnest bits of casting from an 80s miniature.

some lovely(?) entries on here.

Last one for this month and also the final model in my undead force is done.
The astute may notice I removed some odd bits of casting from the staff that joined it to the body, I am not sure what they are meant to be and not wholly convinced they are meant to be there and not some sort of vent or something..

That’s one pasty chap!
Imagine the staff bit was to help strengthen it? Looks fine without it tho.

Yeah, that was the conclusion I came to in the end, but as you say, it looks ok without those bits and I actually prefer it.

What a figure to end the year on! Ace work.

Thanks. Probably the most I ever spent on a figure too... :/

a second deadcember contribution from me:
a celtos figure from brigade games.
he was a freebie from harrowing in the north this autumn.
whilst undoubtedly undead, i'm not convinced it's supposed to be a skeleton, however, that was what i required.
