Well, I have to say I've been lax in keeping this thread updated alongside its sister thread, The Black Order. Time to slowly start to rectify that...

I've been having some fun with kitbashes and conversions lately, trying to go for a slightly more characterful look than out-of-the-box Mantic or Fireforge undead. I came up with the idea that the Black Order would regularly have to fight incursions of the Dark from recently fallen towns, cities and their garrisons now resurrected in unlife to do the Dark's bidding. So I've started with a city militia garrison recently raised to unlife:

" ... the seventh wave of Thrall stumbled and climbed over the slippery, piled dead and Mazzarin saw The Watcher with them and at last knew the number of his days."

Love the undead militia - are the notched swords straight off the sprue?

Cheers guys! Expanded them out into a 12-strong unit now - not sure for which game system yet, but without further ado:

I love your vision. You have a great color palette and your undead kitbashing is inspirational.

It's been a hell of a long time since I've updated this log. Spending two months away from my paint station didn't help matters I must admit...

Painted up a test model for the Erain Tor garrison. Pretty pleased with how he came out, feels very similar to the old Thrall from Myth: The Fallen Lords. Contrast paints made blocking in colours and shades a real breeze.
