From GuyB - (Ready Sunday) Under Construction and barely in time! (20 points)

Time is running out for my first entry, with the 21st cut-off point approaching fast. I have been working very hard on prepping Swedish for the Great Northern War (for a biopic on King Charles XII of Sweden). So far, I have undercoated and based a great many Swedes. A few even have paint on, but they aren't ready yet...

I sprayed them grey, then added a brown wash before dry brushing them white. This gives them a nice 'grey scale' colour ready for contrast paints/speed paints/inking. The models are all Wee Wulf miniatures (formerly Musketeer).

When finished, this will be an amazing force... but time is running out... so what to do... I have to post something. Oh myyyy!

Oh wait... I've recently started playing a 5th edition D&D campaign, and the games master has suggested we may use miniatures. He also hinted that some undead may be one of our first encounters. So, I dug out something suitable for generic undead 'nasties.

So, meet the ghosts. These are the GW variety, not the ones from Button House or Woodstone Mansion for our US cousins. These have been painted with a combination of contrast paints with a greyscale undercoat (the grisaille method - not slap-chop!!!). 

These were fun to paint. I probably spent more time in prepping and greyscaling the models than I did painting them. 

Points-wise, it's 20 points for the four models, plus a slightly spurious 'under construction' bonus - I will get around to painting the Swedes soon.

Journalists and their deadlines and tiny pictures (make them larger so I don't have to), I'll get Angus to take the Mickey. So the ghosts are beautiful and I love them. However you aren't getting an under construction bonus for figures you haven't finished, Miles and Tamsin will hold me down while the Snowlord removes my dangly parts. Paint the Swedes, these film types have high standards and don't understand how small the figures are, and you can have the bonus.
