These are looking very nice mate, the task you have set out for yourself is incredible - talk about a commitment overload! But I reckon you might just be able to do it.
Cheers, yeah, it is a big undertaking, but at least some of them were done to begin with. Still, I have a good feeling about this project. Now, rather than just having a ton of stuff sitting and dithering over what to work on next, I've given myself some sort of focus and a schedule to work too. Can't guarantee that I'm going to be able to stick to it religiously (being a parent), or that I won't get distracted (Mmmmm, Mordor), but it's a step in the right direction.

The spiders look great, although my only quibble is that the swarms are exactly the same as the surrounding base, and it sort of just detracts from them as a whole. Even by adding a wash or two just to make them different from each other would be a big improvement.
Aha! Tricked you.
It's not really noticeable in the photos, but the spiderlings are Rotting Flesh, and the rocks are Elf Grey...
Still, I get what you mean, and since I'm not some
prima donna artiste, and I'm quite happy to take constructive criticism on board, I've given the rocks a quick was with Devlan Mud, and , your absolutely right, it shows the contrast much better now. See?
Also grabbed a couple of quick shots of the next few things. I'm going to waffle a bit more before I show any more pics, but you'll probably all scroll down to see them and ignore this for now anyway...
Welcome back!
Right, the bats I was thinking were going to be pretty quick to do, but I saw the Buckland Brewer's article on how he painted the fell beast wings for his diorama and am tempted to steal the idea to do the bat wings. Figure that, being warped by the presence of the Necromancer, the bats are a little more, let's say daemonic, than normal, and it's going to be a bit more interesting than just doing them black and grey...
Khamul, as you've no doubt already seen, well, I'm still not sure I like how he's going. I'm kinda going by the pics in the catalogues and the Easterling book, rather than the black/silver combo from FotN, and I've done a bit more of the robes red, but I'm not sure. I think after the ringwraiths and the Castelans I'm a bit scunnered with the plain black robes, so I'm trying to make him slightly different, if it turns out well, I might carry the idea through with the monikered Ring Wraiths. We'll see...

. The paint looks really thisk on him, but I think it is partially because of the quitlity of the Photo. But his sword looks thick, really thick
