Bane Thralls are Done!

WOOHOO
After a paint-filled past few days, I finally finished my Bane Thralls and Tartarus. I still don't consider them fully finished but I'm not sure I ever will. I decided against adding runes to the weapons and instead made a banner for the leader and put a rune on that. I'm very happy with the way the free-hand came out on the banners. Here's a few pictures.

First the Bane Thralls. We're going to pretend that this isn't a minimum unit and I don't have to do 4 more eventually.

The Bane Thralls and their boss

And a look at the freehand runes on the banners. I love the way these came out, although the picture came out a wee bit blurry.

That's all for now. I'm not sure what's up next...I've had these looming over my head for months and now I feel an uncomfortable sense of freedom. Maybe Mechanithralls? Or the Seether....I just don't know. Let's say pDeneghra.

Basing Part III: Adding Flock

Alright so you've got your bases all sanded up and painted, now you might want to add some flock or static grass. I decided against using that much on my Bane Thralls, I wanted to go with the rocky gravel look and minimal vegetation. Also, the flock I had wasn't a very good match. Adding flock is very simple:

The first step is to add some of that thinned glue we were using in small blobs to the base of the model.

Step 1: Dab of Glue

Then, pick up a pinch of flock and sprinkle it over the glue. It's better to go heavy than it is light, keep what sticks and tap off what doesn't. As you'll see in the picture below I just threw a big blob on.

Step 2: Blob o' Flock

Lastly tap the excess off(preferably back into the container). You can also turn the model upside down and give it a few taps to make the grass stand up more. Repeat around the base as preferred.

Step 3: Tap and Repeat

If you have any excess flock on the model, no problem. Just take a dry brush and pretend you're Indiana Jones, gently wiping the excess away. That's it! Very easy stuff.
