The Undead legions are amassing!

Hey all! Buckets Of Brains! is back and I've got really cool new toys to show you. I'm nearly at around 2000 points before any upgrades now and if all my units are taken at maximum size. I'll probably be getting 60 more zombies (40 zombies and 20 ghouls) as well as A horde of skeleton spears and then settle down for a bit and paint the undead masses.

First off, my Mounted vampire lord. This guy is from GW and his pretty incredible as well as being a solid staple in an Undead Armies List. His sword was bent way backwards but with some warm water he was able to be saved.

Next up my Liche King, again from the GW range. this is pretty perfect for what I imagined a Liche King to look like so I'm super happy with the model. 

Next up is my Cursed Pharoah, now with this guy I wasn't sure what I imagined. When i saw this model I just thought - Yes! This is what I want for him, adorned in armor and ready to smash through long ears or short legs.

I also managed to make up my 2 troops of Revenant Cavarly, these guys look really nice but sadly the spears are somewhat bendy, though with a little force they will bend back. The models are full of character however and the horses are great steeds.

And here it is all so far! I literally only have 10 skeleton archers left and that is it all made up! I now have..

Mounted Vampire Lord
Liche King
Necromancer
Cursed Pharoah
40 Zombies
40 Revenant Infantry
20 Skeleton Archers 
10 Soul Reaver Cavarly
10 Revenant Cavarly
6 Werewolves
2 Balefire Catapults

My next purchases will be 60 more zombies and a horde Skeleton Spear men, then I'm done for a long time and It's time to start painting my Skorne for the Welsh Nationals! I'm planning on running a KoW event Colchester, Essex UK at 4tk gaming in late April which should be really good. 

Thanks for tuning in, I'm going to try and get some 1500-2000 point battle reports in along the line.

What are you guys doing hobby wise, how's your collection going? Drop me a comment to let me know!

A necromancer, some werewolves and soul reaver cavarly walk into a bar...

Hey guys! I'm back and I've managed to make some models, sadly I'm still waiting on half of my army to arrive, but I've got the first half and last night I managed to crack on and make some models so I thought I'd share with you what I made.



So first off is this guy, I ordered a regular necromancer through my local mantic crack, sorry model dealer and through a bit of confusion and mis-understanding I got this guy. He looks rad, so I just built him.



He looks awesome, he will be my necro mancer for my list. For my Liche King, I'm going to get my self a Sauron the Necromancer model from games workshop. I think he's fittingly evil, undead and has a great dynamic pose.


Next up I made 3 werewolves and here they are, fangs and all.


Well these guys, I'm not super sold on. There limbs are rather long for the body of the model and there posing leaves a lot be desired. In a box of 3 they pretty much have to made like this and even the joins on the arms to the body don't look as flush and as clean cut as they could be. I'm not super fussy however and with a lick of paint and a decent base they will be tearing up the table top in no time. In my list I'll be using a horde of these so I have 3 more to come, ready to hunt down any silly range unit that thinks shooting is the correct thing to do. They will meet a swift end, werewolf justice style.


Now onto some properly amazing models. The soul reaver cavarly




Not enough good things can be said about these models, full on beautiful. Full of detail, full of character and when put into context of blood knights (61.50 for 5 from GW) these are ridiculously good value. I'm fallen in love with these guys and cannot wait to paint them! Again in the list I'll be using a regiment of them so I have 5 more to come and my little undead self could not be happier with the product.

That's all I've made so far, but how are you doing with your hobby? What's your current project, what other ranges are you using apart from mantic or what's your plans / hobby goals for the year?
