OWAC2 - Army Pose

Hi All,

After submitting my Army pose post for The Old World Army Challenge, I realized how terrible it was. You can see the post here.

First I did a terrible panorama.


I realized after putting the post together that I had left out one skeleton archer because I had to glue the giant arrow back in his hand.


I had wanted to recreate the Kev Adams pose from Warhammer Armies, but i couldn't manage it in the space I was using. As you can see I was already annoyed because I had been "disturbing" my kids while they were trying to watch Futurama.

Iannick made a comment about my expression, so I fixed it.


Anyway, I neglected to put the army total in my wrap up.

*EDIT
20 Skeleton Warriors with Spears, Standard and Musician 264 points (whoops) /EDIT*
10 Grim Reapers 120 points
1 Skull Chucker + 3 man Crew 60 points
20 Zombies with Standard and Musician 88 points
10 Skeleton Archers 120 points
1 10th Lvl Liche Doombinder 150 points
5 Death Riders 105 points
1 Plague Cart 100 points

Bonus Army(?) Standard Bearer 24 points?

For a total of 1031 points and 72 or so painted figures.

I wish I had time to bask in that, but I don't. Thanks for looking

And before I forget, welcome to howie b.

OWAC2 Final Submission

Hi All,

I posted this to the OWAC a few days ago, but not all of you may be dialed into that blog. So here it is again if you did see it.


These photos probably needed editing, but I'm feeling a lot of time pressure now. So you get what you get.


Grim Reapers with the Reaper Anniversary Grim Reaper. The unit doesn't have shields in my list, but they look dumb with the shield nubbins so I'll add some later.


I am absolutely terrible at assembling multipart models. I had a terrible time with painting sub assemblies and then not having things fit right, fumble and drop the model, repaint, reglue, repeat.


For all that it looks good. Someone more competent may not have the same issues. I'm also not sold on the horse color, but it's done.


I did this guy as an extra. I tried some red ink on the armor but it went on a little thick so it looks more like just red paint than ink over metal. I may try the technique again.


Lastly, I took a second stab at Death, trying to channel Peter Bruegel the Elder. This one is for Iannick.


Bruegel's Triumph of Death is on display at The Prado in Madrid. I got a chance to see it in person this Summer.

Anyway, thanks for looking and happy painting.

BOYL 2019 Preparation - Terminator Apotheosis

Hi All,

Here's a couple of figures I finished yesterday, hot of of finishing my OWAC2 challenge figures the day before. I'll be posting them here in a future post.

Anyway, here's a sexy man and his dog.


The figures are a Necromunda Bounty Hunter and a Mordheim warhound.  I decided to paint up the dog like a Rottweiler.

The figure looks like the Saxophonist guy from The Lost Boys.


Anyway, I'm hoping that an Autopistol, Plasma Pistol, Combat Knife, and sex appeal will allow him to kill many robots.

Thanks for looking.
