Tom's Undead

Subject: Tom's Undead Mon 22 Oct 2007 - 1:57

Hi!

Time to show you another of my warbands, the Undead.

They are not my most beautiful models, but I just love the zombies models Smile

The idea I had in mind when building this warband was a sea of corpses, stumbling around. Kind of a "Night of the Living Dead" thing... so there are the compulsory Heroes and the rest are ONLY zombies. Fifteen to be exact. I painted this warband really quickly - being rather exhausted from painting 5 other warbands before that, I hurried to finish this one... I know, I know, one should NEVER rush through a paintjob. Nevertheless I think the result is not THAT bad.

Let me know what you guys think! cherry

A custom made Pariah (GW only does 2 different models, I needed a third)

The crawling zombie: a classic.

Tom ...if you even consider this band as anything that could go in the same sentence as "bad" ...then serious risk of shaming me into never daring to show any pics of my own achievements .... silent

Your models are freaking a freaking beauty to behold ! king

I would be very satisfied with these models. If you really don't like them, feel free to ask for my adress and send them over to me so you won't have to look at them anymore Very Happy

Zombies... everyone loves them, and your choice of colours made them look even more evil and wicked Twisted Evil

You really know how to make a mini look cool and evil, cheers for that! cheers

Hey guys!

Thanks for your comments! Smile

Please, please, please Boehm, by all means do NOT stop posting your stuff! I am sorry, I did not realise that I might scare you off or something. Surprised

@ Cianty: so... what's your adress then? *just kidding* Very Happy

Wow beautiful warband! The sister of sigmar zombie is great - your converted Pariah too!

And don't say the paintjob is bad, I think it's really beautiful! I doubt I'll ever paint this good.

[edit] I hope you'll post your skavens soon. I can't find any good pics of it in your blog. Sad

i love this paintjob, i've got undead and i would love to paint them as yours please please tell me what colours you used bounce

Subject: Re: Tom's Undead Sat 3 Nov 2007 - 3:46

Haha!

No problem Zero!

Zombies:

The skin:
"Uniforme Inglés" (Vallejo Paints) as a base (the equivalent in GW would be Snakebite Leather)
Drybrushed in 3-4 steps adding "Rotting Flesh" up to pure "Rotting Flesh"

The red parts I did with "Red Gore" I think, that I mixed with "Chaos Black". I went up tp pure red gore and highlighted a little bit with a mix of Red Gore + Blood Red

The "brown" leather parts:
Vallejo again: Tierra mate/Uniforme Inglés/Arena Oscura
(or, for GW paint users: Scorched Brown/Snakebite leather/Bleached Bone)
I made mixes thereof of course (i did NOT use pure bleached bone)

For the guts:
Just brush like the skin parts, but then wash heavily with "chestnut ink". I also put some inside their mouths to simulate this disgusting blood-laden drool that usually comes out of zombies in cheesy horror movies Rolling Eyes

I hope that helps! Let us see how your undead turn out! cyclops

Cheers and good luck!
Tom

Well thank you Matt! I'm glad you like them! Smile

Don't forget to let us see your zombie horde once it's finished!

Subject: Re: Tom's Undead Sun 11 Nov 2007 - 13:16

Subject: Re: Tom's Undead Tue 20 Nov 2007 - 19:11

Some new undead pics I found. I think some of them were never posted on the blog... Smile

under construction

Subject: Re: Tom's Undead Tue 20 Nov 2007 - 21:19

Reminds me of the battles I fought during the weekend. Also against undead, but I forgot to take photos.

Subject: Re: Tom's Undead Tue 11 Dec 2007 - 0:26

wow!! how can you paint like this? can you give me some advice? Smile

If I can I will make pfotos of my dark elves... than you can see what I'm doing.. and mayby giff some advice

Subject: Re: Tom's Undead Tue 11 Dec 2007 - 1:05

No problem. Just ask for anything you want to know in the "painting and modelling" section and I promise you will be swamped in replies Wink

Subject: Re: Tom's Undead Tue 11 Dec 2007 - 4:22

Doesn't that vampiress look like Amy Lee from Evanescence (hair pulled back, of course)? Very Happy

Well done, mate. Looks like a fun warband to play with, and you did a nice job with the paint and coversions. Hopefully you get to say "BRAAAAINS" a lot with them! Yeah, that's pretty cliche! My favorites have to be the Sister of Sigmar and the archer. Very nice work. The Sister has the right "broken" and rotted look to her.

Yum!

I do like the work on the houses in the background. WOW. Beautiful stuff, mate. I think the pics down the streets and alleyways and in the upper levels are darn good. Great work on the terrain....I am getting in the mood for some modeling! I just need to end running my online campaign first.

Great painting!

im probaly gonna copy ur dreg with the bow

had any experience with a dreg equipped with lance + Shield and riding a warhorse?

Subject: Re: Tom's Undead Mon 7 Jan 2008 - 20:53

Subject: Re: Tom's Undead Sat 12 Jan 2008 - 2:22

This is one very very sweet looking warband! Well done mate. I love that converted Dreg.

@Thomas: I was thinking of actually converting some kind of Dreg on Warhorse. However I'm not too sure as to what models I should use for the conversion.. Any ideas?

Cheers ~ Steve

Subject: Re: Tom's Undead Mon 21 Jan 2008 - 15:15

probally gonna use this

http://uk.games-workshop.com/storefront/store.uk?do=Individual&code=99060202122&orignav=13

and then convert him with some zombie parts + a bretonnia lance and shield.. got some nice plastic knights from 1999..

Subject: Re: Tom's Undead Tue 22 Jan 2008 - 4:06

I think most mounted figures would work, using some parts similar to those which Tom used for his dreg with bow - so Skaven torso, but on some plain legs, or even the spread mercenary legs, then the docile looking severed head from the zombie sprue (my favourite!) and then any arms that would fit and a little sculpting to join stuff Smile

Tom, your warband looks great, I especially like the fact they have a uniform of sorts, too many warbands end up looking like they aren't on the same side!
