Skavenblight's Restless Dead Warband (BTB)

Awesome looking warband! I need to look up this warband in my BTB downloads now. Other than that, these conversions and paint jobs are inspired!

I love the Scarecrows, but I especially like the addition of the rust to the metal armor and weapons. Have you considered adding a bit of mud or dust to the bottom of the wight's cloaks? Not that they need improvement, they look great, but dirty suits them well.

Quite well, really quite well . Very much I like rust on the armour.

Like the others say, great scarecrows! Its hard too make a scarry looking scarecrow.
What will be next?

Thanks guys

This is my first wight, I've bought this mini many years ago, with my first warband (undead). I couldn't find any use for it in Mordheim, but finally I will use it for BTB



As I said, I will put some snow on the bases when the whole warband will be done So at the moment the bases can look poor but after I'll finish they will look better.

He looks cool, goodjob on the rust effect

VERY NICE! I'm not really a big rust fan, but the rust effect on your Wight adds greater definition to the armor. I LOVE the way you do your gold. WELL DONE!

I think a slight wash over the bone with either badab black or maybe gryphonne sepia might help define those areas a bit more. But it might just be the photo washing the bone white out ^_^.

The variations on the metals looks very nice. A good break up between gold, rust, and steel. Many people like to stick to just one color of metal and the details get lost x.x. You've done a good job at keeping the details at the forefront of your piece.

These looking absolutely smashing madame. I nearly fell off my seat when they appeared before me during my supplement vetting duties!

Scarecrows will be a sure-fire hit in the BTB gallery section.

I hope you get to game with them and see many 'non-fire' arrows pass straight their their insubstantial bodies!!

Werekin.

B-)

That little bit of rust on the grave guard goes a long way, keep it up.

Pretty good.

I like them... A LOT!

Ooooooh thats a gorgeous mini, where did you get him? And the paint job is fabulous!

WHOLLY GUACAMOLE! Those minis look amazing. You have quite the artists touch! The detials on that wooden shield are worth mentioning. Bravo. Fabulous work. Keep the eye candy coming.

I like the rusty wight model, the more rust the better.
Are you going to post a shot of the complete warband?

Gorgeous as always Skaven! I was reading in the last months WD mag and saw a great tutorial on rusting armor affects, where they used teal colors coming out of the rusted areas, you should check it out!

Awesome rusty undead dude. He looks suitably antiquey.

Of course, but I have no more painted minis yet
But I converted the most, maybe 3 skeletons more and they all will be ready to paint.

Thanks for all these comments

I can't believe that I have missed this! Your warand is sweeeet! Need to check the Gallery more often!
If you'd have said to me: 'Blue on undead' a year ago, I'd have laughed...but it really works! Really cold and ...well, deathly. Which is perfect!!!

Very nice minis! Are you going to make a Bone Goliath? From what I've seen, I'm sure you could make a very nice looking one.

What about skeletons; are you using the new ones or the older ones?

nice minis m8 love the scarecrow model.

Wow! nice rust effect on the last mini!!! how did you accomplish that?

@Korgak Grimtooth
Hopefully, but I don't know when - I have a plan to complete all other models first. Making a Bone Goliath would take some time...

@Lord Xi
The new ones.

@Paluke
It's only "rust wash" - a little orange, a little brown and water

Please be patient guys... I'd paint new models, but I have to finish with my exams before

Soooo.. when can we expect some updates here, Skavenblight?

Soon
I regret I can't say it precisely. I started with one of the wights, so maybe next week. Don't worry, I haven't forgotten - even if it's one of thousand warbands I have to paint
