Warsphinx #1 finished

First one done. One more to repaint. Took the pictures with my tablet and got rid of the white background. I think the white backing may have been the issue with the darkness. I will try a different color background next time. I feel like I did well with the cat but the crew was a bit sloppy. I learned a little about using washes with the howdah and with the crew. Some parts of the crew models run together and you are not sure where the wrappings end and bronze mail begins. Hopefully, the next one I will do better with them.

Screaming Skull Catapult / Bone Giant

Started building this guy in February, got him finished a few days ago. I need to start putting lightening around my pictures so the flash doesn't wash things out like it did in this (and all the other ones).

It is on a 50 by 50 base that was made by cobbling together two cavalry bases. Most of the bones come from skeleton horses. Most of the bronze is from Tomb Guard bits (mostly shields). The weapon is a modified Tomb Guard banner turned upside down and modified a bit.

The wrappings are green stuff that was used to cover up joints and to hold the model together. If you want to see WIP pictures, here is the album. http://imgur.com/a/l4Y8y

Skeleton Chariots

Finally got the 6 chariots finished. Once again I couldn't get great lightening. Even with an added lamp the no flash seems to dark and the flash washes everything out. Maybe if I can take pictures with the sun up, it will help. 

There is enough for a full command and another rank. A couple of spots still need touch ups but based off of how poorly they currently play, they probably will sit on a shelf most of time.

 

Here is what it looks like with the flash.

Let us make the shade we wish to fight in

Got 42 skeleton archers done this weekend. Now they just need a movement tray.

   

It seems that no matter where I take the picture in my place they come out too dark or the flash kills the detail and everything gets washed out. The top picture is no flash, the bottom picture is flash. 

 

I have also started making a scratch built bone giant, just 'cuz. There isn't one in the current book but it can proxy as some other things or act as a unit filler. It is going to be made mostly out of skeleton horse parts and then Tomb Guard and standard bits. You can see the current state of it below.

 

Next up I need to finish a converted Liche Priest and repaint 7 chariots
