I'll snatch up a zombie as well - do we have to have numbers from 1-16?

I like the idea of a uniform base color for each type of mini - one color for zombies, etc... but I was unaware that there were base colors decided for the undead in 2nd Ed!

Ah, so gray would be for linemen, white for throwers, red for blitzers, green for blockers, yellow for catchers.

personally I think that uniform team colors are a good idea, not so much on skin tones, those should be somewhat open.

red/white/black works well for me

what exactly are we doing for base colors?



gray - linemen -Zombies and Skellys
white - throwers - none
red - blitzers - Wight
green - blockers - mummy/golem if we get enough
yellow - catchers - Ghuols/werewolves??

is this right?

Is it too late for me to get in on this? With such ample time I can avoid being as late as I was with the '06 team. I've got a Rackham fig that I'd love to use as a mummy (http://www.rackham-store.com/boutique_us/images_produits/MVCH01copie.jpg).

I could use a break from painting wood elves anyway.

I will take a skeleton. Hmmmmm I like # 15. Just as a clearification Red, white and black for the team colors?

This seems entertaining. I'll do a ghoul no. 41, there don't seem to be many on the list.

Is there a format for what to put on the base - static grass etc?

I've found a fairly nifty basing material, but it costs ten bucks a jar, and I don't feel right about forcing everyone to buy it. So, if you want to try it out, it's called Resin Sand Texture Gel, from Liquitex. I bought my jar at Michael's craft store, but it should be available in any art supply shop.

Do you have any pictures of a model that you have based with this stuff?

Can I try my 1st attempt at this, I'll do anything player, coaching staff, reroll, turn marker.

It would be useful to have a picture as a reference. Making the bases look like each other would go a long way for making the team as a whole look better.

Welcome to the team! Just pick what you want to paint from what is left and off to the painting table you go!

Shall we pick out the specific colors for the bases, such as Codex Gray for the Linemen, or some such? It'd also help with the uniformity of the team...

I'm thinking Dark Angles Green will be too dark for the base of the Golums/Mummies, how bout Goblin or Snot Green instead?

Just my opinion...

Rod

And also I think Blood red may be better than Scab red (Scab red being a tad closer to burgandy)...

but your the boss.

Rod

I typically use graveyard earth to rim the figures in my WFB army and for a few other applications. I find it to be a good shadow for bleached bone/kommando khaki and a good highlight for some of the darker brown colors (i.e. scorched brown). As for a primary color for a base, I'm inclined to say it might be a bit too light. If the goal is a muddy earth base, I'm picturing a dark brown with a graveyard earth drybrush for highlights. Just my thoughts.

I'd like to do a ghoul, but can do a skelleton if that'll be of more help to the cause.

Also, if you'd take a Vampire for the squad...that'd actually be my first choice.

Please let me know.

Thanks. -Rob

P.S. #8 would be cool.

Well if there is any figs left I would like to help out.....let me know what is still available.

Thanks

Is it basically one fig per person?

Hi Karl,

The only Vampire I would have for the team would be Count Luthor, but I don't think Star Players are really what we're looking for here. We do still need a Ghoul, though. I think we can start opening up the field for Necromantic Team additions soon, too, so if you're in the mood to paint a werewolf or golem we could let start that process.

There are always coaching staff/rerolls/score counters as painting options, too....

I'll go in for a WW or a golem, assuming you're taking those now.

BTW, are we using GW only figures?

Oh, and I've never owned a bottle of GW paint, and mostly use enamels.

Is it too late to get in on the fun???

If not let me know what is still available to paint as I would like to contribute to the team.

Thanks

Yeah, I wasn't looking for a second entry. I just happened to be looking through an older White Dwarf and I saw a conversion that looked like it was pretty easy and could be used as a Necro/Undead coach.

No biggie, I'll stick with my Golem for now.

It looks like you could still use some more skellies, and I've got some old GW figs sitting around just asking for little converting, so count me in for a skeleton, and I'll use lucky #7 (that doesn't seem to be taken)...

I bought a box of WHFB skeletons to use, but recently I saw a fig from the Warmachine line that I like. Now I'm debating whether to get and paint it or go ahead with a conversion of the WHFB skelly. This would be my first big conversion and I'm not positive it would be a great fig for someone to get.

On a separate note, I also found that resin gel at a "local" art store for less then $8 a jar. After seeing your pics I may very well get some the next time I'm in South Bend.

You're going to the Slaughter, right?

Just a quick question given the example pics....we are using round bases correct? Were the square ones in the images just for examples?

im still deciding whether or not to try to make an orc skelly or just a regular skelly???

Are you volunteering one, Tojurub?

I'm good with it, if you are.

We're talking about a Reaper fig, right?

The pics lost some of the highlights, but I think it's pretty accurate in colour overall.
Hope you like it!

BTW., I could do a turnmarker (or other counter). I have a plastic command sprue lying around, with an undead standard. I could try to paint the NAF sign on it.

Cool. Hopefully they arrived safe and sound. Was a bit worried about the standard ...

I can give it a whirl if no one else wants to? I'd do that rather than the Coach.

I'm guessing I'm too late to get involved in this now, right?

Looks great from what I've seen so far!

(As far as I can tell) No Wizard/Head Coach figure has been assigned?

I'll whip one up and enter it, sure I have some WHFB necromancers spare that would suit the part and be universally Undead or Necromantic!

Is that OK to enter?

I've run in to a question - I've got a werewolf, but he's bigger than the BB ones... still not as large as a Big Guy, but bigger than a normal player...

Did folks want me to use him? I can take a photo of him today, and show a size comparison?

New to the boards but I am keen on having a shot at a Mummy #28 if there are still spaces open.

Cheers,

Mark

do you still need a zombie or two i would love to paint something for this

oi OI oi

Ok, it's June. Time for an update.

To be honest, I really haven't done much with my Zombie lately. I've been getting ready for StemFest, and now I'm in the middle of moving.

But there's six months yet, right?

Anyone else have a progress report? It's been pretty quiet here lately...

Hi,

Is it still possible to contribute to the Legacy team?
I would like to enter a zombie Deadling (the Zlurpee one) with the number 0,5.

Hey, I'm not sure on the process here, and perhaps a dubious area for me to make my first post.

But I'd love to be part of the team, if there are any models left unclaimed, I'm happy to paint anything, and paint to a reasonable standard.

Please advise me on whatever steps I have to take to be involved.

Also, I'm from Australia, is that a problem?

I finished the TBB mini late, and just last evening pulled the NAF mini out to look at it and start thinking agian. (while I was putting bases, weights and magnets on some EB minis)

I'd love to cut the arm off mine and move it, but I think due to the effect of time I'll probably just paint it. If I move it I'll have some GS work to do and I'm just starting to learn to do that, ie time consuming

Yes, I completely understand that the lack of tmie is totally my fault.

Pictures, pictures, we want pictures.

Do you already have a full team?

As I said in a pm last week, wight #88 has been sent, might take a while from Oz to get there, but is definatly on his way.

so sorry i havent had a chance to get back to this until now ( i just bought a house and am in the process of locating all of my mini supplies) have zombie just getting ready for the paint i hope he will still be accepted, i dont want to hold up to opperation though so if you have to dole out the team i under stand just let the winner know that number 21 zombie is en route.

oi oi oi

Put the circuitry in the Zlurpee.
You'll be sure to get some sparks.

End of this month.
