Very nice, how do they compare to the Mierce skeletons in size?

Thanks a bunch, all :)

@Munindk - they're actually a bit shorter than the Mierce skeletons. Not enough to notice at tabletop distance, but they are noticeably taller. Mixed in the same unit might look weird.

Completion shots!

Thanks a bunch gents. So glad to be back in the (painting) saddle!

I've sorted out the next additions to the Dark. I've also sorted out an army name...more on that in the next post! For now, here's what I'm adding to make it a viable Kings of War force. There's a strong Western European/Celtic theme running through the force, particularly in the case of the Mierce stuff, which I'd like to continue.

Firstly, twelve more lost souls for the Erain Tor garrison:



Beasts fell and unnatural heralding the advance of the Dark:





...and Malicant, first among the fallen and ultimate hierarch of the Merovar dynasty.

Those sorcerers have a bit of a Fetch quality to them. Fantastic selection! I'm excited to see them all painted!

Yeah that's what I figured too - something Fetch-like, something Shade-like too (thinking Phelot in Myth II).

Dracula's America had an incredible miniature below that would be PERFECT for a Fetch, but it seems to be totally out of circulation :(

Finally finished the second 12 soldiers of the Erain Tor garrison. In practice, these guys will be used as a Revenant horde in Kings of War, as regular zombies in Rangers of Shadow Deep, and similarly in Frostgrave.
