I have been creating an 'evil' army for Frostgrave or Dragon Rampant. The human elements are mainly based around the Frostgrave Cultists set kit bashed with some Wargames Factory Persians I've had laying around for many months. The undead elements are mainly a mixture of Mantic Undead which I purchased as the Undead Encounters from Northstar for Frostgrave and Hero Quest Undead I've had laying around for many years.

Absolutly lovely minis!
I really like the way you have done those conversions, simple but effective, and the imaginative use of all sorts of kits and old minis. Looking forward to see them painted.
Congrats, mate!

Thank you all :)

Very nice. I've never used any of the metal figures from Frostgrave. How do they compare with their plastics? You've used them together for conversions?
-
Delightful!

I think that vampire came from me -- he's a Ravenloft mini, which I believe means he was made by Ral Partha.
This project looks absolutely phenomenal. Very inspirational!

Wow! Such diverse kit bashes and a good looking bunch of adventuresome folks.
