I appreciate it, but there's a staff competition that I'd do, if I had the time to paint more than a model a year.
We keep them separate on purpose.

Are those marble bases custom or do the models naturally come on those? They look epic.

@rnrusa you're in. I'm recently traded for some WWX models, I do you like the bases? They look to be pretty high from the ground. With 35mm models and that base, do they look too big for "regular" terrain?

Anyhow, here's what I just finished still for zombicide; my 37 berserker zombies

Those are standard black plastic WWX bases and I painted them marble.

Would you mind sharing how you painted them? What colors and your technique?

Those are very good.
Heh, I was called a Grognard. ;-)

I second Kturock in asking how that was done. Simply amazing.

First, I'm computer <not smart>.

"The file is too big, maximum allowed size is 1 MiB." Anyone know how to fix this easily? If so please just PM me about how to do this correctly. I have a few WiP pics as well as the final pics here:

20 Bret M&A. Didn't even think of it when I was painting but first thing my wife asked me this morning was "why are you painting Christmas guys". Forehead slap occurred.

Second, Didn't realize how bad my camera is... so two things will probably happen before I post more (working on my own WoC Khorne army currently as well as some finishing touches to my lizards) 1. Get better camera. 2. Have my little sister give me a crash course in photography!

EDIT:
Thanks to Hapotte for walking me through to make this work. Bases green'd up now.

20 points?

Concerning the bases, over on the LAF forum in painting challenge, they have this:

"All figures must be mounted on finished bases, which may be textured, painted (with a pattern or in a solid, finished single colour) or consist of clear plastic (such as "flying" bases or clear acrylic/perspex shapes)."

I think it pretty much sums it up.
