Silent Scorn - Wrack 'em up one by one

Before we get to the meat of the subject, let's take a look at what inspired me:
Silent Hill!






Right, now I think you get the idea: Blood, grime, rust, shadows, gore... 
Now let me show the paint scheme of my army:











It took me A LONG TIME to get this scheme right. A LONG TIME! So much so that I have no idea how long it would take to just do one on its own! Needless to say, that's a lot of effort for something that's worth ten points.

One thing I did realize, if you look at this piece from afar, it looks bad. It's only up close that the details really pop... which might not be a good thing... *grumble*

    Thats a really nice piece you painted! The fact that you painted the gore on a light-shaded cloth makes it all the more menancing. One thing comes to mind when I see it ... mental asylum escapee/murderer ... the figure and not the painter ... just so there's no misunderstanding ;) Good job!

    Just cut off the head and replace it with a pyramid! Silent Hill FTW! Heather (beam) FTW! Pyramid head FTW! Bubble Head Nurse FTW! (I'm a huge fan)

      Man, good to see you're an SH fan as well :D

      I was thinking of doing something similar to the nurses - or SH2 mannequins for the Harlequins (geddit? mannequins = harlequins... nvm)

      But then again, it is still a DE army, and only inspired by SH, so I'm gonna keep the scheme, but keep the figures GW.

      try freehand some vein on them (not sure whether it is viable on 28mm though...), it will be awesome oi!

      Well, maybe not the Grotesques... I mean Pyramid Head is methodical, whereas Grotesques seem more... lumbersome and wild.

      I was thinking of doing something to the Acothysts (unit champion), but I need to source some properly sized pyramids...

      The prospect of having an entire unit... or rather, an entire unit... is scary 0.0

      it will take a really long time to complete :D

      dude, be like the DE - live up to your desires! Do it!
