I am even tempted to do a second one as a painting project. <br /> It took me a while to notice the archers are left handed, and even despite me being left handed myself!

I would like to do a Khemri force someday, but too many other projects to even consider it any time soon.<br /><br />It was only as I was looking through your pictures that I realised that the skeleton archer miniatures are all left-handed archers.<br />I'd never noticed that before.Stygianhearthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02157673627988765453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4266200265116124990.post-9734964916392198912014-05-12T20:56:43.288+01:002014-05-12T20:56:43.288+01:00Thank you, very kind of you to say.
Although I do...Thank you, very kind of you to say. <br />Although I don't game with the army anymore I did enjoy collecting them, arranging the army, and painting them. I really liked the background too, and overall feel of the army. I am pleased with how the army turned out, I think I got the look and feel of the army style I was going for.<br /><br /> As I mentioned above to Asslessman it's all about the fun, and this army was enjoyable to complete. Unfortunately a lot of current gaming often (but not always) requires bucket loads of dull plastic models that just need to done to complete an army, and so it's easy to lose that character and connective feel which you get with older models/armies from the earlier editions. <br />Personally I think gaming and collecting should'nt end up being a chore, nor should one end up pouring money into a project because it 'has to be done' to complete it or buy the lastet model that you 'need' to game with. The Tomb Kings were slightly different to that, and that is probably why I liked completing them. <br /><br />I'm tempted to finish off my current Edition Ogre Army now. I was halfway through painting and converting them up when I got disillusioned with modern gaming. The background to the army was an Ogre army of Ind, basically Indian Ogres, complete with turbans and moustaches!

I chose the limited palette to achieve this and also so the overall look of the army did'nt look too busy. <br /><br />With my more recent models I still like to take the same effort as with the older stuff, although sometimes I find the models do lack the character of the older stuff. I find using the army books a good guide, even if I don't end up gaming with them, and it's fun. <br />Goblin Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14931436821182962785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4266200265116124990.post-55266969590672303252014-05-12T13:11:10.903+01:002014-05-12T13:11:10.903+01:00Your love of the hobby is heartwarming, whatever y...Your love of the hobby is heartwarming, whatever you choose to exhibit next I can't wait.Warlord Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06477146670213381976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4266200265116124990.post-28061130383600120502014-05-12T08:11:31.813+01:002014-05-12T08:11:31.813+01:00A very nice army.

I really like how you avoided too bright colours for some more worn-out look and the limited palette really helps to give the impression the army is thousnad years old.<br /><br />Brilliant.<br /><br />Oh and may I say I'm even more impressed now I know your collection of recent models is on par with your retro collection?Asslessmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09475252828835332056noreply@blogger.com
