That cloak is amazing!
What've you got underneath the base? Is that just to raise him up in the unit?

That cloak is amazing! What've you got underneath the base? Is that just to raise him up in the unit? Thanks for the compliment! As for the base, I used to use GF9’s magnetic bases exclusively. Since they’re not made anymore, I have found acrylic bases from Litko, and use a sticky magnetic sheet on the bottom of the base to achieve magnetized units. The minis with premade bases provided a challenge to this scheme. So I started gluing the acrylic base to the bottom of the premade mini base. I use 3mm base height typically, which is why he’s so tall. Now I’ve gotten smarter and use a 1.5mm tall base to glue under those type of bases. Hope that makes sense. If not I can show some pictures that will probably straighten out any confusion.

Ok, been looking for a great size 1 brush. I used a Vallejo brush for years, until it sadly died. Windsor Newton series 7 sucked at size 1. Bristles always splayed. This Raphael 8404 is a gem! Doing my current Deadman’s hand Cowboys exclusively with this brush and LOVING it. Thanks to Miniac on YouTube for his recommendation! Instagram: thekeepgames

Great work with the Wight King.
Subtly different but unique.

Been busy painting, just not Fantasy at the moment! I am cleaning off my table of old projects, the picture below are items that have been on the table for 1-3 years.... Next up is some more Fantasy, can you guess what!?! They’ve been languishing for SEVEN years! Need to wash them before painting, so dusty.... Instagram: thekeepgames

Ok, I know the suspense was killing you all!!! It’s a group of Chaos Warriors! I washed the minis, so dusty after 7 years, and then decided to redo the Warriors. Wasn’t happy with my old conversions, love these now!! Need to prime the riders. Working on the horse bases tonight. Instagram: thekeepgames

It's always good to finally finish off things which have been waiting for years.
Knights are coming along nicely.

Ugh, hit a snag in painting.... holiday schedule is so hectic!
I made little progress so far...
I did take pictures of my Saga Vikings if you all are interested- I know it’s not Fantasy, or square bases... so let me know!

The Gryphon Legion aren't going to be happy the Chaos worshippers stole their warpaint.

The Gryphon Legion aren't going to be happy the Chaos worshippers stole their warpaint. They just didn’t defend it well enough.... 😜
