Hi! Today small post about this miniature, the Vampire Counts Necromancer.
During those days I'm a bit lazy and I'm reading a lot of Lovecraft stuff -I've bought three books for the summer vacations but I've already finished two of them, they are magnetic- so I've found those pics on my pc of this guy that I was proud to have painted and shared them, in memory of the good old square bases. It is fun because he could be popped out from ''the case of Charles Dexter Ward''!

Showcase: Vampire Counts Vargheists
Hi DGD readers!
Today I'm going to share my last but one Vampire Counts units, the weird Vargheists. They are cool miniatures but poses are quite shameful and I do not like too much the extremely high back fur (the one with two row of fur is a bit embarassing ahaha)!
However I've painted them more or less 9 month ago (I think) and I sold them on eBay as usual.
I decided to make them with a realistic feeling (how strange) so I paint them in a grey scale (enriched with a slight shade of blue), with brown fur (Mommy GW should provide them a kind of cloth to cover their "shames"...) and black and glossy wings to create a contrast with the body (darker wings than the dark body clear the body itself).
I do not like too much paint wings generally, and I love the glossy leather finish onto miniatures, so I make them black glossy, it add a bit of sick IMHO.
I decided also to use a bit of bestial brown to veil the middle tones to give a more natural feeling. It is the same technique used with the Liberators.
Finally a classic hand of gore of course.
Hindsight a bit more of dirty should be better.

Tutorial: How to Paint Gory and Dirty Zombies!
Hi to everybody!
Today I'll show a fast and effective method to paint zombie but, you can easily turn this painting scheme to everybody who needs to be "corpsey". As always there are only ideas that I want to share, hoping to be helpful: out of this blog there is many painters and Painters better than me.

Showcase: Zombies
I love zombie (TWD fan of course): they are dirty gory and dark! With them you can experiment a great quantity of techniques, to make them really disgusting and disturbing.
This is a showcase: I've sold them (two units of 35 each one) on eBay and soon I'll make a tutorial about them (hope you'll like it). It is very funny to make units like they are rising from their graves and I love to create unit fillers to give the atmosphere to the units.
Zombies are one of my favourites miniatures to paint and create and I hope that GW is not going to change them (only change bases) and let them survive (LOL) the AoS apocalypse.
