Oldhammer Undead pt.2

So I recently finished two more skelies from the '80s and wasn't completely happy with them. I figured it's the glowing green in their eye sockets. While I use this effect on my middlehammer skeletons and love the way it looks, for some reason I dislike it on the oldhammer deaders. It's seems like they loose their face expressions (or should I say skull expressions :) ) when I do the "eyes" this way. I'll post photos with and without glowing eyes and you can be the judge. :)

Oldhammer Undead

I have started a new side project...and yes, it's deaders again. :) I am starting a true oldhammer Undead army. The army will comprise of miniatures that were released in 70s and 80s and maybe some from early 90s, up to '93. Miniatures that are released in '94 and onward will be a part of my main Vampire Counts army which is mostly comprised of midhammer models.

The main reason I am separating the to armies is the style and size. Older models are way goofier and smaller. Also I wanted to do different (forest) bases on these old models.

Here is the first model of the skeleton unit. Games Workshop skeleton with sword 21, from 1985.

Chariot Of The Harvester finished!

I have finally finished my second Corpse Cart! It is a Chariot Of The Harvester model from Gamezone Miniatures. I must say I am glad this project is behind me. It gave me headaches at times. The thing that was especially annoying was paint constantly chipping away during the painting process as I was handling the model. Also, there was a lot of green stuff-ing involved because there were huge gaps after I assembled the model. All in all I am pleased with the final result and I think this will be a nice addition to my Undead Legion.

Chariot Of The Harvester WIP pt.2

Quick update on the corpse cart. I finished the two banners. I was surprised that I managed to paint them in one afternoon. Next I'm gonna be painting wheels and other the wooden parts.

Chariot Of The Harvester WIP

I have started to work on my second Corpse Cart. This time I am using Gamezone Miniatures Chariot Of The Harvester model.

When I assembled the pile of corpses I was left with huge gaps that needed to be filled with Green Stuff. The only time I encountered such huge gaps on a model was when I bought 6th edition Empire Steam Tank back in the days.

Painting went smooth. I basecoated everything in bone color and then used mostly washes and drybrushing. All in all it went pretty fast and I'm happy how it turned out. Next I'm gonna be painting the banners.

Skeleton Legion is growing!

I'm halfway through with my skeleton unit! 25 done, 25 to go. I think I'm gonna take a short brake from the skeletons and paint something else and then get back to it. :)

Coaching Inn opens its doors!

I have finished yet another building for the Town of Altburg table. This time it’s the Coaching Inn from Tabletop World's Midgard range. I now have enough buildings to start planing and building the first tile of this huge diorama. :)

Start of the new Skeleton Legion!

Humble beginnings of my new Skeleton Legion! These 90's Warhammer skeletons are definitely my all time favorite. The only ones that you can pose to your liking. The ones that followed were cool but to small. The newest ones with their Arabic swords and helmets don't fit the aesthetics of my army.

Tabletop World Water Well

I really enjoyed painting Water Well from Tabletop World. Houses, especially the big ones tend to be overwhelming at times. Since this piece is rather small, I was able to concentrate on smallest details.  I was playing with different rust effects, added water effects (small water splashes) and different dead leafs to the base. This is one of several Water Wells which will be featured in Town of Altburg diorama.
