Vampire Counts Ogres to Crypt Horror Conversion Project 8

An update of the cryp horrors. I have painted these with my new Air_brush, dipped them with Army Painter Dark Tone Dip, and then begun the process of some highlights, blood, basing etc. They are still a little shiny from the dip and I have not yet applied the Anti-Shine varnish

Some more photos of my Crypt Horror conversions

I have added some stud adhesive to give the bases texture and then placed tomb / grave stones into the bases as well.

Now for undercoating using Army Painter Necrotic Flesh spray cans

Basing Miniatures - Website Links

I found this website link for basing and thought I would list others here over time as a reference:

Vampire Counts Ogres to Crypt Horrors Conversion Project 5

I have finished the conversion work on my first unit of 8 ogres from Games Workshop. Just 6 more to go

 

Pretty happy with the result. As you can see the ogres I bought are second hand and have been undercoated in black and some painting in orange  etc. This give a really patchy effect at the moment.  A new undercoat / basecoat will fix that!

 

Next step is to create the basing - I will add some tecture and gravestones etc to really bring out the undead theme

 

Here are a few photos of progress

 

 

 

The proof will come when I undercoat the models to ensure the different parts and green stuff have blended ok. I may have to go over a few areas with Liquid Greenstuff to smooth out the transitions.

 

I am sure most of you know about liquid green stuff. It is awesome for filling in those little gaps - paint it on and it dries hard. For more info see here.

Zombie regiment horde

A few pictures of one of my zombie hordes (unit of 50)

These are Mantic zombies painted with the army painter system, with a coarse stone basing and lots of unit fillers to build out the unit ( you can never have too many zombies)

They probably need a bit more work, and I have yet to spray them with anti-shine but I think they look ok

All are on magnetised bases for ease of casualty removal and movement

Vampire Counts Ogres to Crypt Horrors Conversion Project 4

First Crypt Horror finished with greenstuff.  The head is a lot smaller than the ogre head so you. Really need to build out the neck area to make it look more 'natural'. I am pretty happy with how it has turned out.

Now to complete the base before priming
