Whitehorn's having a bad time

I made a start on some zombies at the beginning of the month.

Then my girlfriend declared the house we wanted to move to was ours for the taking.

So I spent some time sorting stuff from our current home, selling stuff, planning.

I got ill, but soldiered on.

Then we split up.

Now the month is over.

And I hope April treats me better.

Ross: Less of a shambles

I've had a good and bad start to the year. Good in the sense that things are generally going well, but bad that I had to mulligan in January because I've been so busy working.

I managed to do some painting as part of my work, but it was for my own miniatures. Notably, these little guys.

But they're not Undead! 

These are:

5 Death riders with lances, light armour : 135 points

Ross' Darkness falls (mulligan)

It's been a busy month for me and so I haven't been able to find the time to put paint to model. My job is to sculpt and it tends to overlap into hobby time or any sort of free time. So when I am behind, I miss out on everything else.

I was intended to have a crack at the models on Tuesday night, but our street suffered a power cut in the early evening, so I indulged in the luxury known as sleep.

Fortunately I have a fixed game night, so I do get to game at least once a week. I thoroughly enjoyed using all my painted Undead in a battle of Kings of War this month and intend to continue doing so as the army gets less grey.

Ross' March of the deadites (312pts)

From one extreme to the other, as they say. Last month I painted 4 mummies. This month I painted 24 skeletons. That's quite a leap, but one worthy of Deadcember.

I chose to paint a load of skeletons to balance out my average. The reason I went for 24 rather than 20 is to fill the 12-slot movement trays I use for Kings of War and I didn't fancy leaving 4 models hanging over.

24 skeletons with light armour and spears are 312 points in 3rd edition, 264 in 4th. I'm not counting unit command.

This brings my total up to 632 points for 3rd edition or 444 for 4th.

Next month (January), I am going to add shields to the unit, 3 Carrion and 5 Cavalry.

Ross' Let the shambles begin! (200pts)

My first month felt a little too easy. Mummies are 50 points each and very easy to paint. So, 4 models done in one sitting on 1st November doesn't feel like much of an achievement.

I run mummies as units of 20 in Kings of War, so I will be sneaking in another 8 models outside the challenge to fill this particular movement tray. I textured and painted the tray to make myself feel a little more effort-worthy.

Whitehorn's grey horde

My earliest memory of Warhammer - my first army - was Undead. I got my first blister pack of Marauder Skeletons in 1989 and nothing has really changed. I've played lots of other armies for lots of other games, but my heart has always belonged to the cold, unrelenting dead.

As such, I have a lot of undead in various states of painted, half painted and sat in a box. Rather than start a new army, I'm painting an armylist woth of models using those that have yet to receive any paint.

My unpainted 1,000 points "army" looks like this:
