The en-base-en-ing

 The first of the Ghostie bases is ready for it's two final details:

 

The gel medium in the puddles needs to go in but I have to wait for the flock to dry before I do that and Blogger Pooch suggested getting Blogger Triple T to 3D print some flames to add a bit more ghosty charm to the base (which is also more fun than adding flowers or similar!) 

The army went out for a run yesterday and it was scary. It seems very glass cannon-y on paper, which I defo kept sticking to, as it gave both Blogger Tank and Blogger McBeth's KoW armies a real going over. Turns out being crazy fast and having Fly and Dread in some quantity was effective. My dice, especially against McBeth, were outrageous too. 

I did have the funny idea yesterday that maybe, given we've all got giants to play with, maybe I should buy Nagash...

SURPRISE!

I've started rebasing a 15mm Wallachian IMPETVS (that was once a FoG army) for two reasons. One, there's an event coming up later in the year I'd like top play in but second, this is one of the dumbest. armies I've ever done and I love it and would be so pleased to see it on the table again.

Having once painted an historically correct 25mm Wallachian list, I decided that a dumb version in 15mm would be hilarious having discovered a wonderful Mirliton Russian range that definitely looked the part and that they stocked an Undead range I could definitely use. So here we go:

There will be a lot of archers in this army. Basically everything that isn't a cavalry will be an archer so I'm starting with the skirmishers so I don't go completely feral. For an example of the cavalry:

Two bases of Light Cavalry Bow with an option for Elite. They're really well designed to be able to make more sensibly posed light horse bases. I remember some really terrible 15mm sculpts in DBM armies I owned that could simply not look like this. 

Finally, for a sense of what the whole thing looks like more finished, the generals bases:

 

Complete with werewolves, ghouls, skeletons and humans (so I can affix flags to those spears!) The whole army is this kind of stupid. There are gravestones in places just for grins too. Amazingly, I've even got painting to do for it (as the two bases of Knights that the army is allowed never got painted in FoG) and so there's some Wight Knights still to do, which I'm looking forward to. 

The question will be whether I can replicate a (WTF. HOW AM I THIS OLD??) nearly 15 year old paint job. That's why I've never blogged this. This army dates back to the late 2000s...

Next Time

More of the enbasening will be done and I think I'll try and do a few breachers for a break!
