Text of the page (random words):
file skeletons as i can before the competition ends i m restricting myself to the original citadel paints for the figures as i still have all of these and they are still useable after nearly thirty years i will be using modern day tufts for the bases though as these are so nice compared to old static grass i started painting the skeletons a couple of weeks and submitted a couple of units to the analogue challenge last week i painted up 10 archers initially as i wanted a small number of figures to practice painting bone i like how these turned out next up was 20 grim reapers skeletons armed with two handed scythes i m really pleased with the way the wooden handles turned out the bases consist of three different colored tufts highlighted with miniature paints cream i chose these colours as i want the vegetation to look like it has had the life sucked out of it by the undead forces as they advance i think this has worked out quite nicely i ve really enjoyed painting these figures it took me back to when i first started painting and had to experiment with paint mixes to get the colours i wanted as there weren t too many shades around initially i should be able to complete another skeleton unit before next thursday i have 14 figures already complete so only need another 12 posted by peter at 06 19 12 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels undead sunday 12 august 2012 undead army now that i m nearing completion of my first skeleton unit i thought it was time to sit down and work out a small undead army that i can aim to paint over the next couple of months a couple of hours working through the wfb 3rd edition rule book and warhammer armies book has resulted in my first oldhammer army list the only compulsory troops i have to take are 20 skeleton warriors and 10 grim reapers this didn t cause me any problems as my vision for the army was a horde of skeletal warriors sweeping all before them this type of horde army appeals to me as i used to collect the more expensive armies elves and dwarfs and had decided on an undead army just before i stopped gaming the artwork by john blanche below is really what inspired me to want to collect this army many year ago i still love this painting i already have a couple of skeleton army boxed sets along with a number of assembled models i ll be adding metal command figures to these units as and when i can get them on ebay for reasonable prices i can t believe how much these boxed sets go for nowadays they cost me 10 back in the day and now seem to go for 50 if they are complete and unused army selection i spent quite a bit of time thinking about the strategy that i would need to employ in order to maximise the undead s unique abilities looking at the stat lines reveals that most undead are pretty useless in combat so a prolonged slugging match in the middle of the table would quickly leave me commanding a pile of bones however on the plus side undead armies are virtually immune to psychological effects i guess if you re dead then you re not too concerned about dying and more importantly they cause fear in their opponents this requires enemy regiments to pass a cool test in order to charge or fire missiles at my troops also enemy units that are charged by undead must pass a cool test or rout immediately that sweeping vision is coming back loud and clear taking all this into account my initial target is to have the following army fully painted by halloween characters given that undead suffer from instability i want to include a strong set of characters to enhance and support the rank and file the army lists allow half of the total army points to be spent on characters with a minimum requirement of 1 necromancer vampire or liche again this isn t a problem as i intended to include a couple of necromancers to support and augment the abilities of the basic rank and file anyway i also plan to include a character model in every regiment where allowed to add hitting power in combat and help minimise the effects of instability undead heroes are quite expensive as magical weapons are compulsory for any champion who is level 10 or above however they do add some much needed combat punch to the rank and file so i chose a couple of well equipped heroes to lead the units that i expect to be in the thick of the fighting i m hoping that all these points spent on characters will help prevent the army falling apart with the demise of some of its characters magister mortis level 20 wizard hand weapon and undead horse 250 points 1 x corpse knight level 20 hero galvorn armour shield undead horse and magic weapon with the trance ability 219 points 1 x tomb terror lvl 15 hero galvorn armour shield and sword with the hellhoned blade and parasitic blade magical abilities 195 points 1 x grave fiend lvl 10 hero with heavy armour and a scythe with the enchanted strike magical ability 95 points 1 x charnel warrior lvl 5 hero with light armour shield and hand weapon 33 points 1 x charnel warrior lvl 5 hero with light armour shield and hand weapon 33 points character total points 825 points rank and file the core of my army will be the compulsory skeletal warriors and grim reapers formed into two large units with the aim of destroying enemy units with sheer weight of numbers even dwarves and elves have to rout if pushed back in combat by skeletons my first unit is a large block of 30 skeleton warriors arranged in five ranks of six figures with a full command of standard and musician to provide a huge 4 bonus in combat this unit will be led by the tomb terror equipped with galvorn armour this keeps their basic movement at 4 as i want this unit to get into combat as quickly as possible in order to support this regiment i ve included two smaller units of 24 models each one of them will be the other compulsory unit of grim reapers with full command led by the grave fiend the other unit will be skeleton warriors led by the charnel warrior skeleton archers are pretty ineffective due to their low ballistic skill however i have included a small unit of 10 archers to provide some cover for these units as they advance into combat brraaaiinnnssss zombies i ll look to include a couple of large units of these in the future probably using a combination of the old metal models with some of the newer plastics thrown in i d love to use just metal but the costs of these things on ebay would require me to take out another mortgage death riders are a must as far as i m concerned their ability to move through obstacles without penalty makes them perfect for my tactics think sweeping i ll be including a couple of units of these led by characters their role will be to sweep down the flanks and hit enemy units in the rear or flanks once my main battle line is engaged i ll also put the necromancer into one of these units to give him maximum flexibility and to protect him from enemy missile fire the other unit will be led by the corpse knight finally there are the exotic troops such as carrion skull chuckers chariots and the plague cart i haven t included any of these in the initial army list but will add them once i have a better understanding of the initial armies performance so the rank and file for the initial units look like this 29 skeleton warriors with hand weapons shields musician and standard bearer 341 points 23 skeleton warriors with hand weapon light armour shield musician and standard bearer 325 points 23 grim reapers with scythe light armour musician and standard bearer 350 points 10 skeleton archers with hand weapon and bow 120 points 9 death riders with hand weapon lance and shield 207 points 9 death riders with hand weapon light armour and shield 207 points total rank file 1550 points army total 2375 points apart from the metal command figures i have all the figures 103 rank and file i need for these units so will focus on getting these complete over the next couple of months i ve started using a points system for my painting based on the one that phil olley uses which equates to 1 point per figure with cavalry counting as 2 figures given that i have 100 figures to paint then i will be aiming at 15 points per week so that the initial units plus their command figures can be done in time for halloween quite fitting don t you think i ll post regular updates pictures and any lessons learned from painting these units over the coming months appreciate any comments tips advice on this army posted by peter at 05 55 7 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest labels undead friday 20 july 2012 pile of stuff now sorted the summer is usually a quiet time at work for me so i ve finally unpacked all my old citadel stuff from the 80 s i didn t realise just how much stuff i d collected and luckily saved over the years i ll get some photos over the next week or so of my painted figures mainly wood elves with a few dwarfs and dark elves i was also pleasantly surprised at how many pots of old citadel paint were still usable after 25 years these are the original ones that came in boxed sets colour monster creature etc a lucky ebay swoop has filled in the gaps so that i now have a complete set of the original paints and will be using these to paint up the piles of lead and plastic figures i ve found another plus is all my old white dwarf magazines rule books and scenarios are still in perfect condition white dwarf s go from issue 1 right through to issue 180 so cover first second and third edition of warhammer along with rogue trader so the plan is to start painting up all those figures armies i dreamed about twenty years ago but never got the time i ve decided to start with the undead as i have a couple of the skeleton army boxed sets along with a number of metal models i ll be using wfb 3rd edition for organising all my armies as this was the one i played in my younger days i ll post regular updates as these figures armies progress along with my experiences of using the old paints and inks really looking forward to this project posted by peter at 07 03 2 comments email this blogthis share to x share to facebook share to pinterest sunday 18 march 2012 back to the beginning we moved house recently after 15 years and whilst i was emptying the attic i came across a number of boxes that contained all my old warhammer rules figures paints and white dwarf magazines the paints are still useable after 20 years these were all from 1980 s and covered 1st 2nd and 3rd editions of the rules whilst i had many happy memories of playing these games i planned to sell the whole lot off once we got settled in the new house however a couple of oldhammer blogs i found recently have rekindled my enthusiasm for these figures and rules especially the third edition of warhammer fantasy battle and so i ve decided to keep them all and start painting and collecting them again the spirit of oldhammer is summed in the oldhammer contract over on the realm of zhu blog the oldhammer contract this is going to be the ethos that i ll be following with this project i m still sorting through the figures and will post some pictures of them over the coming weeks initially this will be a sideline project whilst i complete a couple of others that i m working on once these are complete though i ll switch more of my time to this project i m really looking forward to getting back into oldhammer and sharing the journey posted by peter at 05 04 1 comment email this blogthis share to x share to
