Great builds! I can't seem to see the larger version. The attachment system is not the greatest, I wonder if anyone else can see it???
Andres, Ghouls, Wraiths, Wolves and more this winter...

Much better picture! ;D The bases really add a lot, good work on those. Just curious, what kind of paper are you printing on? It looks like 110lb cardstock or something similar as the colors are a little muted. Have you tried using matte photo paper? It's more expensive, but quite sturdy and the print quality is outstanding. Thanks for sharing.  |

Yes, is 110lb carstock but it´s just a trial. I have printed more skeletons with laser photocopying machine. The result is fantastic. I will post some pics.
Thank you.
Andrés.

WOW! Those look fantastic! How are you attaching the minis to the base? Glue along the edge or leaving fold out tabs? Something like that? Step-by-step guide, please?  |

Thank you. To attach the miniatures on the bases I just did this:    It´s easy. Andrés. |

Very nice! You really do make these figures look good. I'm going to start using this method for basing my own personal figures. They look every bit as nice as painted figures.

Thank you for your comments.
I had been painting miniatures for years and I´m preparing paper miniatures as if I were painting plastic or metal miniatures.
I´m making a Warhammer army and I will try to use it in tournaments.
They are very good miniatures, I´m very happy with my new hobby.
Thank you again!!

Let me know what kind of reaction you get at the tournament. I've wanted to try it, but...well, I have enough anxiety issues without using the "official" minis.

You will probably get called out if it's any sort of official tournament I've ever heard about. I attended one that wouldn't let you play if you used the wrong brand bases!

An army just for non official tournaments I´m afraid. I never will finish a plastic/metal miniatures army to play because I paint for other people and I haven´t any time for me, but with your miniatures I have found the solution. In one month I will play with my "painted" army . |

Magnetizing the base bottoms and using flex-steel in boxes is a great way to store them. Also use magnetized trays as well. What can I say, I work at Litko! www.litkoaero.comJIM |

Its truly amazing how much basing can improve the look of a model. Not that Jim's art needs help, but those look excellent!

I have bought litko products before (i like the bases a lot) but when you are buying from the other side of the world the shipping costs make expensive a very good and cheap product. I will magnetize the bases anyway, thank you for the tip. Tomorrow I will post the finished cavalry. Andrés. |

These look great.
The models are attractive to begin with, but the finished bases really make them pop.

You've been busy! Everything looks great! The Undead army is on the top of my list to complete and get all the troop types released. Your builds are great inspirations for me to get these done.

Excellent! Great pictures! Have you (or anyone) tried making ghosts and banshees using transparencies? I'm interested in how they will look.
