My Vampires and Wraiths have arrived, typically as soon as I go bathroom the Evri driver knocks on my door, glad she thought me tripping over my boots in the hallway and the sailor language as I'm trying to find the light switch was amusing.
I think I have more Vampires than actual regiments now. 🤣
Gutted I missed out on a Samantha Phox mini yesterday, she would have made a fine Necromancer. ☹️

Not heard of those guys in years, shame they are realising 32mm stuff now. At least it scales well with Primaris Marines and other modern GW minis I'll never buy. (Looking at you Bretonnian foot knights).

Halfway there with skeletons!

I'm trying to get the plastics done fast, got 28 Zombies to paint after this lot. 🤣

The OG plastics are not only classics, but IIRC, being unarmoured they are very quick to paint?

That's an interesting point to be fair. Depending on your style, it can be quite quick (Base, Shade, Highlight) OR can be much harder cause working out the right highlighting for soo much curved bone surface compared to a sheet of plate armour which has less points which catch the light for reflection/refraction (can't remember the correct term right now)

Yeah, alas my skellibobs were all blended rather than inked and or drybrushed.
My 10mm skellibobs however, contrast paint ftw.

Didn’t take a pic of the completed plastic skeletons I prepared for BOYL, but went for the zenithal, contast & drybrush route… the freehand shield designs took the most work!
Slave to Darkness

No idea what I'm doing with the shields, not sure what shield style I'm gonna use either.
I'll worry about that later, getting the skellys painted is more important.

I have shield decals for undead if you want them?
Slave to Darkness

Ooo please. I don't fancy freehanding everything, and covering everything in rust seems like an easy way out.

I remember them being fast to paint when I was a kid, but I was throwing paint at them and hoping for the best back then.

I will WhatsApp you some piccies.

I know I'm late to the thread but this seems to pretty much sum up my life. As a kid I couldn't afford the shiny stuff (especially the metals). now I have kilogrammes of metal minis just no time and failing eyesight!
Good luck with the painting - I think skellies are a tricky balance. They're relatively easy to make look 'good' but a lot more effort to get to 'great,'
