A weird update today - not really something new, but rather more of something old!
Grave Guard from GW were the reason why I started collecting Vampire Counts a long time ago. I got my first, 20-wight strong unit of them pretty quickly and it was thanks to them I got the idea of making my army Slavic-oriented and started using the popular patina/verdigris color scheme. Only later I noticed that 20 Grave Guard wasn't that much - and pretty often I had to proxy them. After that, I started buying more boxes of them, planning to expand my unit sometime. And now, 5 years later, I have finally painted all of them - and my big bad death star of 50 wights is complete!
During those years I expanded the Slavic theme in my army, so when I was building these guys, I made a lot of pointy helmets for them. Some of them turned out rather crazy high - but I still have yet to decide if such exaggeration is good, or if I should tone it down next time. Like the old unit, they also have different blades on their weapons (swords from the Skeletons box), because I never liked the original ones. The painting side of the whole project was, of course, the same as 5 years ago, only this time it was probably much quicker and tidier.

First, the whole host:

WOW!!! Szczena opadła ;)Świetne, no i na dodatek ta ilość.
ReplyDeleteJak długo je malowałeś?
Dzięki! Cieszę się, że się podoba!
DeleteNa biurku przeleżały sporo czasu, bo bardzo długo nie mogłem się zmotywować, żeby im te freehandy domalować - i dopiero niedawno udało mi się je skończyć. Jakbym nie robił przerw, to tą 30-tkę co teraz dodałem skończyłbym pewnie w tydzień, jakbym co wieczór mógł do nich przysiąść. Może półtora.
Jesteś cholerną maszyną...
ReplyDeleteGdzie znalazłeś tyle czasu na malowanie?!?!?
Heh, dzięki! ;) Ja po prostu mało śpię i maluję po nocy ;D
DeleteRegiment robi wrażenie, a tytuł wpisy powinien brzmieć "We are Legion!". :)
ReplyDeleteWielkie dzięki! Zombiaki mają już swój legion, więc panowie tutaj musieli się zadowolić innym tytułem ;)
DeleteYour work is amazing! thanks for sharing.
