Been working on this for a year or so now, plan is to bring this to BOYL. Mike McVey's skeleton paint scheme with HQ skeletons as Grim Reapers (and HQ Mummies), and converted arquebusiers and crossbowmen (why didn't they have crossbow, arquebus and musician arm sprues in the Skeleton Horde boxed set?). A smattering of Morley sculpts (Mummies, Wraiths) and later 90's Ghouls and cavalry. Also a Vargulf, with some Death Riders painted as Hexwraiths for 8th ed use. About 8000 or so points (3rd ed.) at the mo, with more in the pipeline:

The how to do oldhammer thread has resulted in a growing skaven force, with more waiting for paint in the garage
The Kings of War kickstarter got me started on undead (except the 2 wraiths which I've had forever)
and finally I've about 3000 points of dark elves, but only one has made it to the painted stage

^^^ You sure do get some painting done Jeff! Tell me how you got such nice light on those army photos, my pic is terrible by contrast...
These are my Caledor-themed High Elves ("Dragons?" i hear you say, "how unexpected!"). I've been collecting them since the early 90's when I first discovered the world beyond HeroQuest. I have many, many more elves, but not painted yet. Next on my to-do list are a general mounted on horse to lead a cavalry charge, some repeater bolt throwers, another character riding an eagle because they are so much fun to play with, and I need to repair and do some touch-ups to my army standard bearer, coz he needed some loving and I treated him rough. Another unit of Reavers wouldn't go astray either. And maybe bulk up the dragon princes, and, and, and...

Man I had forgotten how long it takes to get all those models of the cases :
Opening them also reminded how much left I have to paint

Very nice all round 
I particularly like that Dark Elf army, dieselmonkey, and I'm not normally a pointy-ears fan!

What I've managed to paint so far of a huge lead horde. More gang-sized ATM but am in the midst of some rank and file.

That's some mighty fine greenskins there Spook! Exquisite paintwork! So clean - I'm so envious.
You have once again inspired me to go back to my orcs and goblins. I'll try not to faint at the amount of unpainted ones and put an army shot together of all the painted ones.

For want of another word, these are beautiful! The subtle pastel shades give a wonderful drabness, making them look little shambolic and gruesome. Amazing work!
