Dawn of the (Un)Dead: Hexwraiths

The Riders on the Storm (play while checking them out for full effect!) are finished and I can't wait to use these guys in a game. Gotta say I really loved painting the ethereal colours, but I would say that controlling the washes is something that I can keep working on as there are quite a few watermarks here and there. Which I might have to go back and redo. The wood grain finish is similar to the necromancer and with the metals I've added an extra bit of detail, namely the verdigris effect that uses a similar colour to the ethereals themselves. This could either be 'older' metal or an allusion to the 'ethereal reanimation process' and 'nercormantic magicks' that Dieter von Schloss has used to conjure up these guys.



Some PVA still drying on the bases.

A couple of close up shots on the wood grain and verdigris.

Dawn of the (Un)Dead: Hexwraiths WIP

So a WIP shot of another ethereal unit: Hexwraiths.

I debated whether to make these guys Black Knights for the game, thinking that the BKs might be more of a hard hitting unit.... but who am I kidding? These grim reaper models rock! And I was so inspired by Chris Peach's ones in a WD from earlier this year where he used the ethereal theme (admittedly with mor greens than blue) I had to give them a go.

What do you think? Metals and wood grain still to go, as well as basing.
