Dreng Tromm's Random Works

Excellent stuff! You could probably make a living (or at least a decent income) out of your skills as an illustrator. If you have more, please post it!

I am more than willing to oblige Herr Folketsfiende!

Here are some fan art I drew using PP's Warmachine characters...


This is Coleman Stryker, a warcaster from the Cygnar faction.


The same sketch colored by a friend.


This is Vladimir Tzepesci, a warcaster from the Khador faction.

BEAUTIFULLY DONE!
Are you also into War Machine/Hordes?

No Sir, I am not but I do buy some of their models especially if they catch my fancy.

Quite frankly, I am heavily invested in Warhammer but a lot of my friends are into Warmachine/Hordes and they often come over my house to play.

Incidentally, my house is known as the "Tavern" among our local gaming community because of the fact that it has become sort of like a watering hole for my gaming friends... a place where gamers can play on a decent gaming table, have pizza and beer, and just plain have a good time.

The "Tavern" is also a neutral place where tabletop gamers from various systems can come together and play, swap war stories, show off models/miniatures and just shoot the breeze with individuals of similar interests.

It sounds like a wonderful place to play a game or simply spend some time with friends.
Like yourself, I have come to like Privateer Press' minis although I doubt I'll ever play or have the opportunity to play their games. C'est la vie, eh?!

Exactly my thoughts! I wish I can create a space like that one day.

Excellent drawings Dreng. Thank you for posting them.

Thank you Von Kurst for commenting favorably on them!

Greetings Fellow Travelers of the Old World!

I have recently acquired two battalion boxes of Warhammer's Vampire Counts. I must point out that I bought the said boxes for the skeleton warriors and the Corpse cart. I had no intention of using the zombies because I really did not like the sculpt of the said miniatures. I had already planned on using the Mantic zombies anyway. Nonetheless, out of sheer curiosity, I decided to assemble the GW Zombies with the intention of giving them to my 5-year old boy to play with (he is presently crazy with Plants and Zombies after all).

As I was assembling these "Ape Zombies", I was taken aback by their "wacky and comical" character despite the gruesome nature of their lore. In other words, these miniatures "grew on me" and I found myself painting one... then another... and another.

Like a vixen seduced by vampiric charms or a ghoul enthralled by a necromancer's forbidden art, I found myself loving these GW zombies and how they turned out. Needless to say, I ended up keeping them and I just bought my son the real plants and zombies figurines.

So, let me share some of my now beloved GW Zombies...


A Middenheimer Zombie.


A Talabeclander Zombie.


A peasant Zombie.


A Talabheimer Zombie.

A couple of Group Shots...




I hope you guys like 'em.

Ha! They look great; grimy and disgusting. Keep'em coming, I say! Perhaps you can share them with your son?

GREAT LOOKING ZOMBIES...considering their condition that is. The Rotting Rogues painted up WONDERFULLY WELL...GREAT WORK!
The G.W. Zombies are a great source of cool parts for conversions; definitely one of their better efforts.

That's one of the best works I've seen on GW zombies (maybe the best one, actually).

Great choices of colours and character too. Loved how you made them belonging to a particular place within the Empire in their living days.

Greetings Fellow Travelers of the Old World!

I finished painting two more recruits for my growing GW Zombie Horde...


Another Talabheim Zombie


A hulking and decaying Ogre Zombie

And a series of group shots of the Rotten Rogue (as DeafNala would them) thus far...






Also, a group shot of the hulking Zombie brute together with its Necromancer Master and his henchmen...


More to come...

Oh and by the way, many thanks to folketsfiende, DeafNala and Joao for their inspiring comments. More power to you guys!

I'm really enjoying your new Undead Project. The latest additions are up to your high standards...love the color choices on both pieces. VERY WELL DONE!

The zombie sprue is an endless source of inspiration. I am so glad that you are enjoying your discovery of it and sharing the results.

Absolutely love the zombies, especially the poor soul with the axe in his head. Lots of character with these guys, and I hope to see more pics!

Love the brute! Excellent stuff! Also, the axe-in-the-head-zombie is hilarious... "We tried attacking them, but they just kept on coming!"

Awesome! The creepy greenish eyes are a great addition to the spooky character in some of the miniatures.

As for the models, I love those Reaper grave diggers! And the Mordheim henchmen. I must get those!

Greetings Fellow Travelers of the Old World!

Thank you so much to everyone who cared enough to post their respective comments. I know that I have said this for quite a number of times but I do mean it when I say that your kind comments are indeed a source of inspiration for me.

Here in the Philippines, we were fortunate enough to recently spend a long weekend on account of state-sponsored legal holidays... holidays which I utilized working on my zombies and I am pleased to state that I was able to finish the first regiment (roughly around 20 miniatures).

In fact, I was so happy with how the project turned out that I ended up buying 3 more boxes of 20-plus zombie goodies! for a total of around 100-plus zombies which I am eager to finish.

Nonetheless, let me share what I have finished so far with you...











Another thing I love about the GW Zombies is the fact that with just one box, I have enough left-over bits to make at least 10 more zombies or at least representations thereof. It is just a matter of being creative about it.

Fortunately, we are again looking forward to another long weekend this week, so that would give me more time to produce more zombies!

Here are individual shots of the zombies shown above...


Here is what I mean by being creative with the left-over bits...


Another gruesome example of making use of bits from the spare bits box...






Since my Empire Army is from Talabheim, I felt that it made sense that I should field more Zombies sporting the red and white colors of Talabheim.


A Zombie from Altdorf.


A Zombie from Nordland.

Here are some more...

Zombies from the peasantry.






And how about a Norse Zombie? I do not know if this makes sense at all!


When I was making this particular zombie, I was imagining a Norse Shaman turned Zombie...

Sweet Norse zombie! I think it makes a lot of sense, and it kind of reminds me of the draugr of Skyrim

Some great looking Zombies there. Thanks for sharing!!

The Zombies look GREAT individually & SPECTACULAR en masse...even though they're not terrific in combat, they do present a terrorizing aspect shuffling forward in an inexorable horde. Your color choices, brushwork, & creative use of the various parts make for some BEAUTIFUL pieces. VERY WELL DONE!

The Zombie pieces work wonderfully with the Empire Militia for even more variety.

Shaman zombie ftw! They look really fine, if that can be said about zombies.
