Skavenblight's Restless Dead Warband (BTB)

Finally I started painting my BTB warband I don't have all minis yet, I've just started converting my wights, skeletons and scarecrows (and I'm still thinking what with my liche ) But I have 3 metal grave guards which were my payment for mini painting I didn't know then what to do with them, but luckily I've heard about BTB

This is the first grave guard, the next I'll finish today or tomorrow The base is not finished yet, I planned to put some snow there, but I'll do it when all my minis will be finished. It's very dirty work

Me likey! Very much!!

I can't wait to see what else you come up with for this warband! I'm really looking forward to it!

It's blue and silver so you'll see no complaints from me!

Nice work so far. Looking forward to seeing the rest of the warband.

Mor(e)!

sweet, keep it coming

awesome paintjob miss skavenblight!

skeletons rule!

Wonderful! Always excited to see more of your work.

Beautiful!

Great work!

Did you prime it white or black?

I love the blue on it.

COOL! That IS probably the first Grave Guard that I've seen done in any color other than black. It's nice to see a Living Impaired guy who CARES about his personal appearance . The blue robes & the metal work REALLY turned out well, & ARE a VERY effective color scheme. I look forwar to seeing the rest of the WarBand evolve. VERY WELL DONE!

Both
First black, and then a little white. I'm too blind to see all little things on minis, and it helps a lot.

Nice mini. It's funny, but I think it looks much better as a Mordheim model than they ever did as Warhammer minis. Does that make sense? In any case, you picked a clean, simple scheme, and it looks great. Looking forward to more of this warband! As for the Liche - ideas will come to you as you work on the rest of the models, I'm sure!

Aha! Skavenblight's latest project!


Excellent. I'm waiting to see how the rest turns out. A promising first mini.

The contrast between the blue, black and silver is actually quite nice and works well, with the blending on the shield well done. What else are we looking forwrd to seeing painted Skavenblight?

I've finished the second grave guard, and the third is ALMOST finished... the problem is that I have no camera so I have to wait to tomorrow, when Kapitan Hak will make some photos of the new minis...

And good news - after many weeks of thinking, I have an idea for my liche! And I've almost finished conversion So hopefully I will have the whole warband after Christmas - maybe not painted, but converted.

He looks neat.

Looking forward to seeing what you conjure up for the Scarecrows madame. The legs from the old metal Dryads are perfect as they look like they are made of clumped straw. I used these and the torsos from some non-Citadel miniatures (which I wish I hadn't) to converted a couple of Scarecrows for my friends Restless Dead band. Unfortunately we could not include those in the BTB gallery section of the PDF, and never received any suitable Scarecrows from the community thus far...

Oh I still prefer your Kislevites!! When will you return to the Lynsk?

Regards,

Stu.

I have to start with the henchmen. They are not complete at all, I have only 1 skeleton, 2 wights and scarecrows which I'm still converting... Everytime I paint a warband, I try to paint the henchmen first, because I love painting heroes and when they're painted, I don't want to paint the rest

But now... 2 another grave guards

The are looking good! Verry bright, I like it. Mabey you could add some dust or dry mud on the edges of the robes?

Keep up the good work!

Very Cool!

LOVE 'EM! I can identify with doing up the Rank & File guys first [my Dad used to eat the crust on his pie first ]; saving the special lads for last not only gives you a treat to look forward to, but by the time you get to them you've got the paint scheme down to perfection [well, perfection in YOUR case ]. As always, VERY WELL DONE!

Ok, at last! New minis - Scarecrows!





And new pics of grave guards
I've added some rust on them.

quality scarecrows, they're well funny! What are they made of?

The Scare Crows ARE just SO COOL! It goes without saying the paint job is an outstanding example of the art of mini painting, beyond that the Lads show a tremendous amount of imagination AND a lively sense of humor. VERY, VERY WELL DONE!

I didn't think it was possible to improve upon your Grave Guard, but you did it. You ARE one TALENTED Lady!

- skeleton bits
- one imperial head
- and green stuff

@Nala
Thanks I wanted to add some rust, because I've painted a very old wight mini, which looks not really interesting (only armour) and I wanted it to look more colorful. Oh, I'll show you that wight, but later - I'm very busy at the moment

Holy moly! I totally love those Scarecrow conversions. Coming up with apropriate conversions for something that has no definitve model produced by Games Workshop is always very difficult. Your models are very imaginative and fit the concept perfectly. You are doing an incredible job with this warband, Skavenblight.

Very nice, can't wait to see more.
