Sweet baby Jesus, that's a load of models to do! Good luck on that!
And a little suggestion for your basing. A few grass tuft here and there would look great in your units. Army Painter sells some nice ones that could look great (winter or wasteland should match the color nicely).

Yeah, I don't give too much attention to the basing right now. I've got WAAAAY too much painting that needs to get done! (I'm kinda weird in that I only like to play with units that I've already painted, so I try to get them to a point where I'll at least play with them!) Eventually, I'll go back and do a lot of base work.

Fair enough, nothing wrong with that plan! You do have a lot on your plate, but who don't (look at all my armies still not painted)?

How goes the painting of the bone here? I am painting a few dozen armored undead... I might feel your pain. khaki, wash, khaki w. white, khaki w. a little more white, etc.

Hey, guys! I got another one to put up here after a long hiatus! I thought I'd give a BSB a go. Not the most useful piece in this army, but still cool looking.

I personally don't care if it's painted or not when I play but that's because most of our stuff is unpainted and it's been 20 years since I painted myself. Having said that, that BSB looks great and it seems that most people at this forum are accomplished artists

I feel like I should clarify that if opponents have unpainted minis they want to use i'm fine. It's just that i will not personally field something unless i consider it 'ready' for the tabletop.
Love the Tomb Herald. It looks really nice. The conversion with the spear pointing forwards rather than the sword to the ground looks great and makes the mini look more menacing and dangerous. Lovely colour scheme.

Thanks, guys!
Yeah, I'm like you Grandmaster. I don't mind playing others who's stuff isn't painted (though it does make it easier telling what is what) but for me personally, I want the stuff I use to be painted (or mostly painted). I guess it's a pride thing.
The spear arm swap was kind of unintentional. I was painting up the sword arm, but never really liked it very much. Then it disappeared. Lol. I couldn't find it anywhere (which is really weird for me). So I started looking at alternate arms and a spear arm just made sense due to the fact that this guy will probably be mostly used in blocks of spearmen. I also liked the Necropolis Kights Spear arm since the spear was a bit fancier than a mere skeleton spearman.

That is one awesome model and I like the colour scheme and matching glowing eyes!

Cool! Good to get some affirmation. I've been a bit indecisive about it.
