The scheme is great. Of course I would like to see them with basing for the finished look. I hope you make a horde of spears and a unit of the halberd guys...those are my favorite sculpts in the DE line.

Yeah, I'm having some trouble deciding on a basing scheme. There's the customary snow covered basing and that fits the Nagoroth theme, but I'm also really liking a "pirate" theme as well, so I was also thinking about a "watery" base look. I've never done anything with water-effects so I'm not sure how well that would turn out or how long it would take me. So far, I have collected: 28 Corsairs - (I've always loved these guys!) 5 Dark Riders 12 Darkshards 2 Repeater Bolt Throwers 5 Cold One Knights 5 Shades - (nearly finished painting these guys!) 1 War Hydra (older model ) 2 Kharibdyss' 5 Doomfire Warlocks High Beastmaster on Manticore Sorceress Dreadlord on Cold One Fleetmaster So, no, I don't have any Spears or Black Guard - yet. I really love the idea of Black Guard though. I really don't want to go the route of netlist hordes of Witches and Executioners. I think that the next things on my "to get" list for this army would be another 5 Dark Riders, a Sorceress on Pegasus, 20(~?) Black Guard, a Dreadlord on Black Dragon and maybe a Medusa. I really like the whole "monster mash" list that this army can give you. I kinda see them as an invasion force off a Black Arc or something. Mostly, my plan is to push the monsters forward with the High Beastmaster on Manticore closely following behind as well as the Sorceress (that's why I'd like to get one on a Dark Pegasus). She can cast Shroud of Despair and effect the Ld of all units within her bubble as well as not allowing units to benefit from Inspiring Presence or Hold Your Ground! special rules. Then attack with both Kharibdyss' and use their Abyssal Howl special rule to force them to re-roll any successfully passed Ld tests. Also, considering that the Kharibdyss' cause Terror, that might come in handy more often than not. I guess we'll see.

You don't like Legend of Drizzt?!? I LOVED those books! Much better than most GW books I've read. I guess to each their own. Anyway, I managed to take a few pics of the Shades that I've done. I've been rather consumed with the Thanksgiving holidays and taking care of the babies, so my painting has taken a bit of a back seat lately, but I did manage to finish these Shades and I am almost done with my Cold One Knights as well as the Corsair unit. Hopefully I'll have those us soon. I had to do a little bit of work on these guys because two of them had their swords broken off and none of them had their Crossbow bows on them. I improvised a bit.

This was also a major project we had over the Thanksgiving holidays. A local Santa came to our house to take pictures with our kids since they can't get out of the house until their immunities have had a chance to build up. (Premature babies born at 27 weeks have no immunities in their system since they don't start receiving their mother's until 30 weeks.) We'll start getting them out after Cold and Flu season is over in March. Anyway, it was quite a task getting four babies to pay attention to a camera for pictures! Molly: Georgie (Normally our good picture-taker!): Merril: Dorothy: The Family: Merry Christmas everyone!

The improvising worked very well because I looked at them in the two pictures and didn't even notice at first. Then I read this and went back to look at the pictures to see if some of them really didn't have cross bows.

MmmHmm huge fan of the Octopus/Squid banner on the corsairs. Is that stock on the sprue?
