legion of undead

-

still plugging away at the mess of undead miniatures i still have.


these skeletons are from the Undead Encounter pack from Mantic Games.
i went with a simple color scheme,
i didn't want to spend a lot of time on them.


the so called leader of the group.
with the simple color and shading these came out nicely.
i might go back and retouch the eyes,
maybe add a green glow or redness in the eye sockets.



rest of the group.
way these came out i might purchase another pack of these,
add more to the more ranks.


Beholder Zombie.
this fellow was fun to paint.
cannot wait to unleash this on my D&D group.
(insert evil laugh here)


Crawling Claws.
wanted to make some low CR creatures for this weekend's game,
and since the group is heading to a den of evil what better way than this.
made from dismembered hands from an old GW zombie plastic set.


last year i came across some board games called Dark World,
and the miniatures were pretty cool to use elsewhere in my table top games.
so i used this ogre as a half ogre since he is actually smaller than
the Wizkids Ogre miniature.

    I like how the skellies turned out. Black, grey, bone and metal sounds like it might be pretty flat but it looks solid. Did you ink them with an army painter tone? Are they plastics?

    These look great Mr Martin - I did some skeletons myself a few months back for a pulp collection I am building up - I used both Warlord and Wargames Atlantic plastic multipart figures.

    Excellent. The skeletons and beholder are particularly good. I had a copy of Dark World too, for the minis rather than the game. That plastic centrepiece makes a nice bit o terrain for Frostgrave, I must get it built and painted sometime.

      thank you very much, i have another beholder zombie in the works as a special character.
      Dark World seem cool, but building it and taking it apart was a bit for me.
      that center piece is cool for terrain. i used the manticore figures as statues for my middle eastern/desert terrain set up.

      Consider your statue idea stolen.

ever since my last game of 40k Kill Team with my buddy Jayson, i've been thinking on a second team for the game. lots of ideas were swirling in my head. and i narrowed it down to the faction i always wanted ever since i first started playing 40k back in 2nd edition. the honorable and ferocious Space Wolves. with all the new material coming out for 9th edition and what has been out already i have to say i am disappointed on how much character the new Primaris space marines lack. i mean yeah there's the upgrade packs you could get but still there isn't much to separate one group of Primaris marines from another of a different chapter except shoulder pads. so deciding on this i went with the classic look of the Space Wolves. but with that also there is only a few units and not much i can use if i do a non-Primaris Kill Team. and with these marine i also tried the Citadel Colour Contrast paints. and i have to say i like them very much. very easy...
