I'm alive! These are additional models for units I've already painted. I'm slowly building my way up to 2000 points of Vampire Counts, and this is part of the last chunck. As always, basing will be done once the whole 500pts are done. 130/500 #warhammer #theoldworld #warhammercommunity

5 Skeletons with hand weapons, 11 Skeletons with spears and a Bat swarm.
Skeletons are a mix of the Deathrattle skeletons and Cursed City models. The two skeletons that look like they're rising from the grave are part of the base of the GW mounted vampire lord. As part of moving him to a square base, they needed to be removed, so I repurposed them.

This bat swarm is made out of a Cursed City bat and High Falconer Felgryn. I really struggled painting him, but am relatively happy with how he turned out in the end.

Cursed fanfic idea: Batman, Ankh-Morkpork style. Young Sam Vimes becomes an orphan raised by Willikins, fighting the crimes the Watch can't touch. His main foe is obviously a graduate of the Fool's Guild, expelled after blatant misuse of the traditional props. He's know on the streets as the Hippo.

Warhamster @eerlings.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

As a quick side project, I did these Warriors of the Dead Why? Because the only primer I still had was green, and these were the only ones I felt like painting that wanted that primer. However, it seems I can't get away from undead, no matter the system. #mesbg #warhammercommunity

Twelve Warriors of the Dead. Undercoated with Death Guard, then a very thinned down wash of Caliban Green. Then I've given them a highlight of Lothern Blue. The weapons, helms and armour got another highlight of Wraithbone, in an effort to make them pop more

Celestial Wizard for my Empire detachment. With her, all models are done, except for basing and transfers, which I'll probably do next week. The model originally is a Hero from the Cursed City box. #warhammer #theoldworld #warhammercommunity

Spurred by a friend completing their Garden of Morr, I decided to paint the great cannon with an oxidized bronze effect. #warhammer #theoldworld #warhammercommunity

Imperial Great Cannon and crew. The crew are mostly in the red and black of Nuln, which is to be expected, as most of the cannon of the Empire come the great foundry located there

Close-up of the gun barrel. Base is screaming bell. The a very watered-down wash of a 1/1 mix of lothern blue and straken green. Finally, a light drybrush of retributor armour in order to lighten the edges.

Crew member. Although the overal paintjob is quick and hamfisted, I kind of like how the hair and the landsknecht style pants turned out.

Warhamster @eerlings.bsky.social · 15/08/2026

A captain for my Averlanders. Model is a repurposed Glaurio ven Alten from Cursed City. I'm very happy with how he turned out and he was remarkably quick to paint. 226/500 #warhammer #theoldworld #warhammercommunity

A painted model of an Empire Captain on foot, wielding a pistol and having a sabre as backup weapon. He's wearing a military-stiled vest with fur lining. The vest is black with a yellow stripe and brass buttons. He's carrying a mirror (either for vanity, or to detect vampires) and has a gilded pauldron.

Warhamster @eerlings.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

Starting on the second chunk of my Empire force. It's mostly still going to be Averlanders, but not ruling out that there might be some reinforcement from Nuln. Anyway, this is the main regiment of halberdiers 176/500 #warhammer #theoldworld #warhammercommunity

A regiment of 23 halberdiers bearing shields. They are painted in the color of Averland; mostly black with yellow plumes and one yellow sleeve and pant leg.
They have a full command group, including a champion with a two-handed sword.

Individual member of the regiment. He has a yellow shield bearing a black cross under a skull. Attached to his armour is a piece of either with cloth or parchment, with text on it.

The champion of the halberdier regiment Befitting his statue, he is the only one with gilding on his weapon. He's also wearing gloves and his shirt is of a demonstrable better quality than the rest of his regiment. For some reason, however, he's not wearing shoes.
This is in the most technical sense a conversion, as the arms come from the Empire Greatsword set.

Recently started a re-watch of the LotR film, and it inspired me get quickly these done. Picked them up during a visit to Warhammer World earlier this year. I promise this'll be it for picture spam for a while. #mesbg #warhammercommunity

A miniature of Frodo, painted with transparant paint, to get the invisible effect.

All Ring-bearers: young Bilbo, old Bilbo, Gollum, Frode and Isildur. They're the Warhammer World versions made of clear resin, so very little work was needed.

So, with the Wraith done, time to see how the whole detachment looks.

A 500-point detachment of Vampire Counts for the Old World. It consists of a Cairn Wraith, 5 Hexwraiths, 4 bases of Bat Swarms and 3 bases of Spirit Hosts

And with this, the ghostly part of my Vampire Counts are done. Much happier with how this one turned out. Incidentally, this is the 100th miniature I've painted this year. Up next; basing the detachment and then something wraith-adjacent, I think. #warhammer #theoldworld #warhammercommunity

A wraith leader, made from an unconverted Grimghast Reaper. He's been painted to look as if the spirit under the cloak is made of fire, slowly tapering of as it gets farther from its head until the end of it is just dark smoke.

0111

Warhamster @eerlings.bsky.social · 22/07/2026

It took some time, but here's the Riders of Wrath; Hexwraiths made from the souls of those who wished for magical power as they were burned alive by witch hunters. Almost done with the ghostly detachment, only need to add the leader. 458/500 #warhammer #theoldworld #warhammercommunity

A unit of five Hexwraith models, converted from Dreadblade Hallows, with their swords replaced by scythes from Grimghast Reapers. The mounts are painted to resemble skull-faced horses, tapering off in red and yellow flames.
The riders are painted as spirits of fire, also tapering off, but they wear black cloaks with red trim, to denote the fact they hold on to some aspects of their previous personality.

Side-shot of one of the models to show the details more.
Painting this was an absolute pain, and the goal I had in mind is far above my (current) skill level, but this is as good as I can get it.

A group of thee bases of Spirit Hosts, painted to resemble as if their faces are fire and flames, with the rest of their ethereal bodies slowly becoming the colour of smoke

So, I applied paint to models again. These bat swarms are sourced from Cursed City, High Falconer Felgryn's pet and Soulblight Manifestations. I foresee more swarms in the near future. #warhammer #theoldworld #warhammercommunity

Base of a bat swarm. The model originally comes from the Soulblights Manifestations. The magical energy has been painted to resemble fire

Four bases of bat swarms, with models sourced from Cursed City, Soulblight Manifestations and the Corpse-Eater Falconer's pet.

Base of bat swarms, with the bats coming from cursed city. There's also a hanged skeleton pointing the way, also from cursed city.
I think the hanged man is a reference to something, although I'm not able to recall where from. If anyone knows, please let me know, because it's driving me nuts

And here's a picutre of the completed army, with transfers applied. Not sure what's up next. It's likely either terrain or some more warmaster undead. #warhammer #theoldworld #warhammercommunity

Picture of a 5-point Bretonnian army. From left to right: 6 Knights Errant with full command group, 10 peasant archers with defensive stakes, 10 skirmishing peasant archers and 5 Knights of the Realm with full command group, led by a Baron.
The Baron's heraldry is a golden sword on a field azur, which is echoed in all banners and on the trappings of the knight errant.
The peasants also carry badges in the Baron's colours and blue caps.

Quickly finished the other unit of archers. The quality's not great, but I wanted them over and done with and to be able to say I painted a 500 point force in a month. Of course, the force still needs to be based and have heraldry applied. 495/500 #warhammer #theoldworld #warhammercommunity

Ten archers in two rows hiding behind a row of sharpened stakes. The stakes have chains strung between them to provide additional impediment. Compared to the other unit of archers, these are much paler as a result of starting from a white primer instead of a black one, so as to let the paint markers do their job better.

Warhamster @eerlings.bsky.social · 26/04/2026

Baron Ganelon le Chasseur. Technically a conversion, but only a few details aren't from the Knights of the Realms kit. He'll do until he's replaced by a more fitting model at higher points values. 435/500 #warhammer #theoldworld #warhammercommunity

Knight of the Realm holding a hunting falcon instead of a lance. His heraldry is blue on yellow, and he has additional pouches on his horse filled with birds's he's hunted. At his feet there is a lean hunting dog. However, as they say in Bretonnia: Un chasseur sachant chasser sait chasser sans son chien de chasse.

Other side of the same model. This shows the dog in more detail, and also shows that the baron is carrying his next meal in the form of pigeon and garlic.

Warhamster @eerlings.bsky.social · 25/04/2026

Les compagnons à la chasse, also known as the obligatory Knights of the Realm. Some more experimentation with the paint markers and I think I've got a handle on how to use them now. Not something I'll be using always, but it has its uses. 323/500 #warhammer #theoldworld #warhammercommunity

A unit of five Knights of the Realm in lance formation, with full command. All knights have an individual color scheme, but the same antlered helmet, as these are supposed to be the hunting buddies of my Baron

More models done with the speed paint markers. I like this unit better, but it's a different way of painting. There are the Knights Errant, hence why they all have the same basic heraldry. The Knights of the Realm will have more individuality. 182/500 #warhammer #theoldworld #warhammercommunity

A unit of six Knights Errants in lance formation. The unit has a champion, musician and standard bearer. The heraldy on the horses is jellow with blue shields. The knights' shields are also jellow and blue.

Made a start on my Bretonnian army. First time using some Armypainter Speedpaint markers. Not sure on how I feel about them yet, some more testing will be needed. 50/500 #warhammer #theoldworld #warhammercommunity

A group of ten miniatures of Bretonnian peasant bowman, painted in different shades of brown, with dark blue cowls. They all carry a light blue and jellow insignia somewhere on their body. One of them is accompanied by a dog. Paint quality is okay as long as you don't zoom in at all

A quick diversion before tackling the next Old World project. These are Wargames Atlantic's boneblades. I still need to find a way to do epic-scale bases to my liking, but for now this'll do. #warmaster
