Now finished black knights, the mounted vamp lord and are ready to start highlighting the ghouls. And I tested out a new technique on a wraith last night

Thank you. Sadly I don't have any wraiths in my list but it was fun to test out this, for me, new way of painting.

well done for finishing the challenge! sadly real life and a slight diversion into painting an ultamarine and necron army for my kids meant I didn't have the time to assemble, let alone paint the demon army I was trying to.

Really cool army, and you're done the whole 1000 points that fast. You are truly talented and for that I despise you :p

thank you ;) I did "cheat" abit though. i had to change my list and take out 31 Zombies to put in 10 ghouls though. Gamingwise i think id prefer this anyway, as ghouls hit harder, and Zombies can be raised ingame anyway. still have to paint those blasted zombies though.

Wahey - we have the first finished army! Looks really good :nod:

[edit]Just having another drool at the army - you even found time to make up a little scenery to go with it... how many days have I got left (gets out the drawing pad and starts scheming)[/edit]

Great stuff, Baardah! From my point of view they definitely don't look speed painted.

I am also pleased to see that I have finished more models than you, at least. (Though only one unit. :D )

@git: takk, takk og godt jobba sjøl. Not only have you painted more models, but you've done some heavy conversion work too.
@beno: thank you. The scenery piece is only primed and is in the picture just to get another level to bring the vampire forth in the picture.

Hope the last days will see atleast a few more finished armies. Atleast fluff pieces so that the entries are illegible

Well, fair play and why not! I thought it was a kind of black marble dais or obsidian perhaps? Either way it works as you intended, and might I suggest that as the colour-scheme? It certainly fits with the army. I had to shamelessly steal the elevation idea (well, sort of) as will be revealed shortly. I'm uploading the final photos and fluff as I speak

Well done as always. :nod:

Somehow, several pics are missing from the thread for me ... :crazy:

I can see the "Speed-Paint" in the fact that the Black Knights armour is painted very, um, shady all around.
With more time you would have added some additional details to the armour.

But without a entry or a painted mini at all to show for the last months I really can't complain, nor do I.

No question, that's a :thumbsup:

I see what your getting at. There are lots of detail on the BK armour that I'd like to do, and probably will. The missing pictures are mostly WIP pics so I haven't bothered to update the links. The most important pics are there so...

And thank you for the compliments :) yesterday I painted my terrorgheist as a prize for my self after finishing...

Great looking army! The red theme fits nicely with the moonlight grey bases.

Thank you Tuhis. Im pretty happy with the theme...I really struggled with the bases....tried to hard until I ended up with a very simple monochrome black to grey scheme....it works :)
