My Necro Team - Old World

All I can say is Wow! I have got to meet this Sebastian next time I'm in Brisbane!

I love the work. Really love the orc zombie - although the red spots I'm not too keen on - the rest of the fig is simply amazing. The dwarf zombie is also really nice.

Love the wights! I've been meaning to experiment with on mini lighting and light sources for ages.
Now where's that paintbrush...

Amen to that, light sources is the sh*t! I think the BB community is a bit behind the real pro painters (a certain Sisters of Sigmar diorama springs into mind), but Seb's setting a good example here. It's hard to think of any other race that could work with this lighting technique though, but hey, don't we all have an old Undead team lying around needing repainting?

Excellent work. I particularily like the glow (of course) and the flesh tone of the first golem (which copies putrid flesh very nicely). I am still not too sure about the albino, even after the remake (it's the concept, not the execution of it -which is brilliant). The spots on the ghouls are also original and something I only ever saw on some Warhammer daemons elsewhere before.

Light source effects just don't lend themselves too well to BB. While the Wights are an interesting look and not that bad as light source effects go. Most of them that I've seen (on CMON) look terrible. Especially as many of them aren't very subtley done.

That's the main reason I don't dislike the wights, the LS painting here is at least on the more subtle side.

The best model is the alt. Flesh Golem! What a simple, yet effective conversion...also very inspirational!

A very special team!
I just loved the mixed races zombies, and the background of the team fits perfectly with them.
Your markers are great too.
Now some criticism:
The green glow in the wights maybe is too bright, and several other players think the same, but then, I consider that when you put them on the table, you really need a very strong color contrast for the effect to show from a distance, so I say they are just fine as they are.
The white werewolf... Don't you feel like he doesn't fit with the rest of the team? I'm not saying your painting is bad, but it breaks the overall color scheme. But then, that's just my opinion.
The Vampire. I think looks very healty for an undead. His skin is too pink and I prefer a paler tone for someone that can't stand the sunlight. Again, that's just the way I prefer it.
Anyway, I really liked the overall feel of the team.
Good convertion, good painting, good fun!
Ever onwards.
Congratulations!

Critique noted

The Albino was something Rabid wanted from the outset, plus its a cool challenge to do convincingly.

The Vampire actually has a purple hue to his skin, which despite my efforts, is lost by the camera. I tend to shade subtly alot of which is lost by the camera, I'm waiting on the package getting to Rabid and hearing his reaction from handling the team in person, close up

Looking forward to that response eagerly

I love the variety of zombies and the conversion of the models. Great work.

Just cleaned things up and put some group photos on instead of all the individual ones... a few more minis to follow in the coming weeks as the team becomes lrb 5.0 compliant.
