Note: For the game I made these into nice looking cards.
It really helped my army grow as it was mainly models that I did not already have (Morgasts, Mortarch, Coven Thrown etc). Have I mentioned how amazing Josh is? Now if you know Josh he is allergic to everything, including keeping his models in cases. So I figured that I would take a week off painting and repair some models. I got threw most of them (just Nagash left...). 
The only problem I had with this model was when I came to do the eyes. I could not get the eyes even. I probably painted them about 8 times and every time it looked fine at first, but then way off when I moved the model. It finally dawned on me that there was a slight flash line going threw his right eye that was throwing it off... So I did the best I could with out having to scrape half his face off.
