    Indeed a nice paintjob! Now I'm tempted to start some undead army... So I'm torn between dwarfs and undead and already have a few models for both... ;)

    Do both, the Mantic models are decent value and look good.

    What paint layers – colors – formula did you use for your wraiths, wights, and spirit hosts? I have been attempting a similar paint job on different models with mixed results.

    2 paints needed, Celestra grey for primer and first coat then the technical paint Nihilakh Oxide, when you apply Nihilakh oxide start at the top of the model and don't let it puddle also don't be tempted to do a bit then come back as it will leave a line where you restarted.

    Beautiful and vibrant colors! Glad you finally finished it, its scales have been beautifully painted!

    And the base is quite exquisite. What did you use for your water effect? Is the base real rocks or foam rocks?

    The rocks are real stones, the water effect is woodland scenic water effects not realistic water as I wanted it to look dispersed, the water coming off the nails and limbs is UHU glue.

    It does almost look like he is dashing through some rapids, like he is about to charge into battle from a concealed location.

    Also noticed the goop coming off his claws, didn't notice that before! Nice addition.
