    AWESOME! I love that model (I have an unpainted one myself... my painting skills are unfortunately not worthy of that model). You did a great job on it, it looks stellar (get it?... stellar as in stars... as in Seraphon* in space.... I'm going to wash my mouth out with soap now for posting an AoS joke**)!!

    *this does not mean that I will ever transition into AoS
    **I try to refrain from AoS jokes, unless I'm making fun of AoS ;)

    I thought about doing stars on his head but then had the idea for his stomach, I'm not 100% happy with it and might add some purple swirls.

    Just went through your entire paint log...

    Love your chaos sorcerer (page 16) and your scar-vet on the dilophosaurus (page 21). I was considering doing the same thing at some point but I need to get around to finishing my regular carnosaur first.

    Also a big fan of your spiky goblins, they have lots of character! I also love the expressions to picked for the goblin balloon handlers, that is an amazing model you put together.

    I look forward to your continued work!

    Nice one... you took some different things into consideration then I... I like how you did the crest! maybe ill add some yellow spots to my skinks crests... the yellow scales on the spine look nice... something I didn't have in mind when looking at the fish! Really nice!!
    Also the gobbo an your necromancer look really good!

    Graveyard movement trays :) sounds good. Do you have ideas? Or looking for inspiration? Are you going to make pure GW models or you plan to use mantic ones as well?

    Yeah I'm using all GW models, 5 trays one for 37 warriors, 27 warriors, 20 grave guard and 2 for cavalry .

    I won 70% of the models on ebay, bret converts and here is a wip of first tray, still needs filling and painting but I have the ideas for each sorted.

    I see you have same tombs as me ;) I have this as well, there is small crow on sprue ;) they look awesome. I like concept of making zombies and skeletons from other models :) In my Mordheim warband I have 3 night goblin zombies :) TBH Mantic have better models for Undead :)

    Yeah the tombs are great value, might look at mantic for a set of undead gladiators, how do they scale up to GW models? get some pics up of your stuff.

    Zombies are less "bulky" than GW ones, skeletons are a bit taller. Let's say more 30 mm scale not 28 mm.
    http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/287352.page here u can find some pictures of scale comparision.

    I have to much stuff to make pictures ;) 20 years of collecting, but I will ;) hehehe.
