Flesh Field WIP
« on: October 30, 2009, 02:59:29 AM »
In early 1945 a lowly German LT. was charged with slowing up a Russian breakthrough before him.  With little to no heavy weapons and zero armor, Lt. Frush also had another nightmare on his hands, a recent Allied bombing left the village and many of his men dead and in this new world of the living dead he knew another threat would certainly overtake his command.  With the time ticking with the returning of the dead and the Russians arrival, the man made a horrific and drastic decision.  Frush ordered his surviving men to get all the  dead and lay them in areas where the Russians would most certainly use to approach.  The corpse’s spinal columns was severed and then secured to the ground via chains, spikes and any other way possible so as to keep them in place.  The corpses were then fitted with anti-tank and anti-personnel mines.  During the process, 7 men were killed when the dead returned and attacked with another 5 wounded.  As the night fell the screams and shuffling of hundreds of undead could be heard just outside the village.  As the sun rose, the sight of Russian infantry where witnessed just where Frush had predicted.  The Russian performed one of their infantry charges to only encounter something so gruesome and horrific that the charge broke against the flesh hungry fields of undead.  Two more infantry attacks where returned with the men refusing to cross the nightmarish landscape.  Once, the Russian armor was committed the tanks where told to crush through the fields to make paths for the infantry but it wasn’t realized until it was to late the these withering piles of rotting flesh where fitted with mines and a half dozen tanks where destroyed or disabled.  One crew forgot about the terror at their feet and bailed out to only be consumed by the undead.  The Russian advance was stunted and pulled back to reorganize and Lt. Frush was congratulated with the successful stopping of the Russian breakthrough.  However, when his commanding officers learned of his idea they were appalled and he was arrested.  Shortly after the German High Command was notified of this commanders quick, although sick, thinking he was promoted and he was tasked to refine a process in which the undead can be used as a defensive military asset.  These undead fields where official named Frush’s Fields but the infantryman who encounter them in the field have replaced it with the Flesh Field.  In a day where the living dead are commonplace on the battlefields of WWWII, the Flesh Field has found it’s place in a world truly gone mad.

What I have done is bought the corpse bits from the Warhammer Corpse Cart and flatten them out and glued them together to make a field of undead.  I am then putting chains and spikes on them as well as putting some mines I had from an old 1/48 scale model kit on them.  This thing is going to look awesome once painted up with civilian and military garb.  Rules for will follow soon.

Happy Halloween,
Brian

This reminds me of the time I planned out making a 4'x4' gaming table...with every inch covered in resin "floor of skulls" scenic bases. It was going to be expensive, but part of me still thinks it would have been worth it.

I however didn't have anything like that level of background as to why I would have a board of skulls, and also if I had restricted myself to a field rather than a battlefield I would probably have actually followed through with my idea.

Wonderfully horrific terrain feature and background Brian.
