Fitting in the painting where I can

Another over due update on my enduring endeavour to paint all of Descent 2nd edition! This time we have  the an undead theme!

First up are the Dispossessed, which in the art are super cool as they look like human heads, but the scale on the models puts the heads more like giant or ogre skulls, which in some ways makes more sense.




I started off with very different base colours and explored the hues and tomes as I went, took a while but really pleased with the contrast achieved.
Next, Dezra the Vile, going to be my Necromancer in my next campaign. The details on part of this model were really bad, so I struggled with parts. Enjoyed the OSL on this one.
The skin took quite a bit of experimentation, I sometimes forget that you have to view colours in relation to each other so you just have to have faith when you start painting and adjust as you go.



Finally the Reanimate model I will be using instead of a card board counter. I chose a Reaper bones miniature as I didn't want to use one of the Reanimate models in the game already as it might get confusing, and I wanted it to look more like a fallen hero. 
I used the same colours as on my Lord Hawthorn model so that it fits in with the hues on most of the heroes. Really enjoyed the rust effect as it gives great contrast to the turquoise/blue.
