[quiet tide]

I'd like to join with some sort of graveyard terrain. I'll check when I get home and post the specific piece this evening!

[pseudo terrace]

May I join with the graveyard golem?

[coarse bane]

please do 🙂

[hasty notch]

I'm interested in joining this group, need to figure out what I'm painting

[steady breach]

I believe I have "Buzzy" handy SKU: 77485 He'd fit in a graveyard!

[lilac nest]

Thank you, Inarah.

What graveyard worth its salt does not have someone incessantly digging during the dark of night?
77143 Undertaker for me.

[viral mist]

https://www.reapermini.com/search/casket/latest/02845 can i do the henchman?

[upbeat wigeon]

Thanks Inarah. I'd like to paint the Colossal Skeleton 77116.

[coarse bane]

[hot cedar]

I would like to do the Skeletal Giant if that is alright, 02742
Is a distinct sculpt from Thoramel's entry

[viral mist]

🙂

[quiet tide]

I'd like to do the harowgate graveyard set (77529).

All these entries are going to be great! What s scene we could make if we could actually get all the models together.

[onyx adder]

Leaning towards 03751, Human Necromancer

[viral mist]

Gonna have to reprime my minin dude, he has been worn through in several spots. Gonna knock that out tomorrow after i bring kiddos to school

[coarse bane]

Right now it looks like it's going to be a giant skeleton and grave golem throw down. 😆

[viral mist]

Grave golem is a pretty cool guy, eh. Does the shambling pile thing and doesn’t afraid of anybody.

[hot cedar]

It's a graveyard smash!

[hasty notch]

I've settled on the Grim Reaper 1005 from the Bones V core set

[coarse bane]

This graveyard needs more gravestones, so I'm doing this one.

77639

[cedar marten]

If there is still room, I'll do Large Sarcophagus (77540)

[viral mist]

Rained today. Still cannot reprime 😦

[coarse bane]

No rush. Below freezing here, I have to wait too.

[hasty notch]

One of the many ways an airbrush will change your painting life lol

[cedar marten]

I don't use air brush, but I bathe my minis in rubbing alcohol and brush on Styrenyze for primer.

[viral mist]

I have 2 small children and the set up and tear down times are impossibilities at this point

🙄

[coarse bane]

I'd still have to airbrush in the garage which is ~40F today.

[viral mist]

Yep

I used to have an airbrush booth on my desk. But with my 1 yo i stopped using it

[ivory ledge]

Can I hop on the Grave Wraith #07034?

[onyx adder]

Necromancer is primed and waiting for a slot 🙂

[snow hawk]

I got a Graveyard golem, grave wraith or Kasper von mondstein vampire. Are you still looking for people to join?

[viral mist]

Are you dead friend…?

https://tenor.com/view/greetings-deckard-cain-d2-pd2-gif-19469214

[coarse bane]

The grave golem and grave wraith are already taken, but we don't have any vampires yet. Check the list at the start of this chat. 🧛

[snow hawk]

I'll do kasper von monstein 🧛‍♂️

[ripe thicket]

Can I join with Classic Horror Dracula 03248?

[snow hawk]

Starting it now, blocking out colors and undertones

[viral mist]

That looks amazing so far

[spare silo]

Can I join with D'vandra Lukesia 44015? I feel she's fit the bill with her grave robbing shovel and her necromancer vibes.

[snow hawk]

Had a lot of time last night and today so I got it done. Let me know if my pics are too blurry

[hasty notch]

Great job! Love the light and shadows!

Makes me want to paint the model myself

[snow hawk]

Thank you, I made myself this reference photo before painting the model (took a bunch of other angle shots too)

[mild rover]

I'd like to join in with a giant bat on a gravestone 44040

[hot cedar]

Was able to knock mine out (just in time for the game I need him for too)

[viral mist]

That thigh scrimshaw is sick

[snow hawk]

Looking cool

[lilac nest]

The Undertaker cometh

[delicate widget]

May I join with Grave King 1 from the Bones 5 Core Set (1078)?

[spare silo]

Feeling done with mine. She definitely fits a graveyard.

[undone pivot]

Can I join with the, Mummy Lich 77147

[astral niche]

Hi. May I join with the large Bones 4 Skeletal Dragon?

[viral mist]

Ha ha, i painted the bones one a while back so i found the metal, i pulled her offa the base and crushed her then chucked her in the trash.

[onyx adder]

She's got a job to do.

[spare silo]

Looks good! Purple is truly the colour of the necromancer.

[snow hawk]

This group is looking spooky so far

[coarse bane]

Here is my graveyard altar. I have marked the list at the top, if there is a + next to your name I have collected your photo. @pseudo terrace I will keep an eye out for your entry. 🙂 Hope kids are better soon.

[burnt flame]

I completely forgot that I joined this group. I see that the posting is going up on Wednesday.

@coarse bane I'll get something knocked out tomorrow - is that ok?

[burnt flame]

I'll be painting Skeletal Swordsman 77017
