Mantic Ghouls and Orc and a GW Undead Necromancer

New week, new army? Actually no, amazing as it may seem I'm pretty steadfast at present in the models I'm painting which is a surprise - even to me...
Over the w/end two units of Skaven and a Warpfire Thrower were done for that project, while tonight I exercised my brush-fu on a few samples of different figures: two Mantic ghouls and an Orc, and an old Lord of the Rings Saruman miniature.

Saruman, who'll one day lead the Mantic undead hordes

A pair of Mantic Ghouls I tested the paint scheme on (note the one on the right doing his best Heath Ledger impersonation) - APPROVED!

A trial Ork (ok on the Scheme, went WAY overboard on the wash though and had trouble trying to fix him...the next one I'll go black ink instead of brown on, too many flat surfaces on this model)

A Goblin hero made from a 40k Gretchin with a Chaos Warrior head and a Mantic Orcling on the ground. The idea is he's rejoicing at having killed something SMALLER than himself (a classic take on Orky society, where the strongest dominate the strong who dominate the weak who beat on the weaker and so forth...)

Lastly I based and undercoated a Skaven Champion but he'll be done later in the week as, like most, I've opted to do the MASSES (of which my armies seem to have quite a lot of...) in pretty straight up assembly line blocked painting, while it'll be the characters and possibly champions who get the "bells and whistles" treatment.

Thanks for stopping by!
