Bloody brilliant, as usual mate! Loving your vision.

They look great.

Agreed. Great looking force of skellies.

Finished the skeleton horde!

The lichen skellies are so Blanchitsu it hurts. Another outstanding concept!

Starting to pick up a bit more steam on the Undead front now. Saga's such a great ruleset for dipping in and out of various forces - and also quite dangerous for the bank account for the same reason

I rebased and retouched the Mierce Barrow Spider from years ago. Really love this model. I actually have a second lying around - must paint it up, although I realise I didn't write down the recipe for this one!

Nice job on the black tones.

Whole thread is fantastic but those black tones on that spider is unreal! Great job.

My arachnophobia is kicking in… so obviously well done mate! You really brought that creepy crawlie to life!

Shelob's eyeballs, that's an awesome paintjob!

I've got an entire spider force in the works, with a spider hag, little ones and bigger ones, but this big boy/girl would be an awesome addition to the roster!

Progress on the skeletons, and some undead cavalry kitbashes from Fireforge I've always wanted to try.

These are f’ing brilliant!

crikey, yes.

been missing some great stuff in this thread.

Thanks chaps!

Next up - as you all know by now I was enormously inspired by a series of video games called Myth as a child. To this day I still play them. They're dark, gritty, brutal and highly unforgiving of mistakes, featuring a beleaguered human kingdom, defended by a military arm called the Legion, against an overwhelming, implacable horde of undead and other fouler things called the Dark. No guesses for where the title of this thread comes from

I've recently finished four Undead warriors heavily inspired by (cough: direct copy from) the Myrmidons in Myth: The Fallen Lords. These guys were a blast to convert. I had to get the gridaksma blades they wield 3D modelled and printed by a friend, and for the painting, I used Ana Polansčak's tutorial on mummified skin from her Gardens of Hecate blog, but I'm not convinced I know how to use crackle paint properly (no problem of Ana's - the tutorial is brilliant, and I recommend it).

What do you guys think? Faithful to the inspiration?

They are brilliant

Daeothar · « **Reply #178 on:** May 17, 2022, 12:39:13 PM »

I do not know the source material, but going by the drawing you shared, your conversions look to be pretty spot on!

Great work, on a bunch of really scary undead...

My thoughts echo those of Daeothar here.
