Nice job...he has a big hat, so he must be in charge  :D

Are you going to hide the join for the horses head with a bit of putty? Could always add a bit of horse armour to discreetly conceal it?

That’s helpful feedback. I put some GW liquid green stuff in the gal but it’s dried out a bit and not sure it makes much of an difference. Will see after undercoating and use some proper green stuff if needed. Also realised the horse is for this Kislev dude in the box of old stuff and you can’t put the Kislev dude on another horse.

So I rebased the elector. Maybe base is too small but I won’t use it for anything else so good to get rid and you don’t want in taking terms too big a base.

Kislev dude looks good like looking across the steppes...

Isn’t Akula shark in Russian?

So you can use Oathmark or Frostgrave heads for Cities of Sigmar Greatswords. Also that old Wargames Foundry knight as commander never survived undercoating. So here’s his replacement. Behind him is a pile of Marauder heads. So he will be known as Lord Choppy.

He’s one big fellah. Here’s a warlord for the converted chaos marauders...

Spruced up these orcs for something like Saga Age of Magic. Some savage orcs, block orcs and chariots to come over coming weeks as I get through them. Seventh edition rejects. Never did very well against the kids with Dark Elves and Demons.

Now sold by Black Tree Designs. They have great range. But just be careful. It took me over a year of emails to get the order after purchase...

Sprucing these up for saga age of magic. Physically fixed up. Who thought the delicate piggy tails were ever going to last? Next step just the repaint…

Added some heads by Raffaele Stumpo from some blood bow Kickstarter.

For some reason I’ve got very excited about a skeleton fantasy force. Maybe it was the first plastic boxed set I got from GW in like 1992. I got the Tomb Kings in 2008 but it was before the cool big plastic kits and so you only had the goofy plastic skeletons and metal characters who never seemed to fit together. So I flogged them but just knew to hold back the horsemen I’d assembled. But they got mashed in storage and...looked goofy. So I picked up the Start Collecting Deathrattle GW box and used bits off that to spruce up these ten which I’ll use for Saga AoM and maybe even Age of Sigmar. Also. Fun how you never realise how much you have after decades of collecting for anything. I picked up this resin skeleton dude with a ruff maybe from Spellcrow or Kromlech as a blood bowl coach. But he’ll make a great necromancer! Checked out eBay for some more of these horsemen and Tomb Kings chariots and was horrified by the prices people are asking for. Like £60 a box. Wish I’d held onto what I had. Maybe I’ll ask on the wanted Bazaar of Obscurities home page.

I was very pleasantly surprised. Got Oathmark skeletons in and so mashed up new GW, Oathmark and some Atlantic skeletons and I thought I’d offer a size comparison. All GW or Oathmark heads though as Atlantic heads looked massive and not entirely realistic, kind of like Indiana Jones and the crystal skull. I was listening to Michael Wood’s history of China and so imagined them as kind of an undead Terracotta Army. Was lucky to have Tomb Kings shields about but could do with some more. And might ask at the Bazaar if anyone has any Tomb Kings chariots for swapping or sale. The helmets are kind of Iron Age Europe so maybe at a push these are fantasy undead Sea People’s Egyptians...though were they from Turkey? Who knows.

Forgot to Mark this one up. Is the arrow in the skull puerile?
