Hehe, the shadows did turn out pretty neat in the pics. =)

What will you use Baron Kraust's gang for btw? Just random mayhem or secretely mustering for adventures of a lichemastery type? =P

Cheers Rob - no rush for your sort out, although I'm intrigued as to what goodies you may find therein!

Hmmm dunno yet - read the McDeath stuff last night - great stuff! - I'll let you know when I've perused Lichemaster.

Probably be just random mayhem in the forseeable future - got a bit of a back story developing for Baron Kraust...

and he wants revenge....


Mwa hahahahahaah!  >:D

Really good stuff Thantsant!
I like that you've chosen to go with dark colours :)

Thanks Silversixx - I like a nice gritty look!

Now apologies for the terrible picture quality (phtos taken with the wife's camera phone - left my camera at work!  >:(). Normally I would wait till I got my camera back and do it properly but having spent a considerable amount of time trying to get the phone to talk to the computer yesterday I felt I needed some kind of closure!  ;D

Anyway the latest addition to the warband and what any self-respecting necromancer, hellbent on vengeance on the weakminded fools who banished him, should have- a giant skeletal Cyclops!  >:D












Better pics to follow!

You have to love the Grenadier Skeletal Cyclops fella!  Excellent work, as usual Thantsants.  Might have to get one for the Undead warband I'm currently building (of which I'll post pics once they're painted)!

Good job on a nice model, Steve! Did you have it tucked away since earlier or were you inspired by Hackett's cover?

Thanks old boy! Looking forward to seeing your lot when they're done!

Hadn't noticed him on the cover actually being completely unobservant! I got on ebay last week - a purchase for which I blame you entirely!  ;) Might have to take you up on those skellie archers soon although not sure I'll be able to do anything with them what with Orc's Drift and all!

In fact the ranks of Baron Kraust's host of baddies have swelled somewhat - on top of the plastic skeleton warriors and horsemen I also have acquired three wights. Joining Kraust in the vat of Dettol are my old marauder chaos thug archer regiment, an old warthog beastman and a rhino beastman, and waiting in the wings to further bolster his Chaotic followers are some Red Redemption cultists, a two headed beastman (guy with the snake hand), a minotaur centaur and a couple of demonic familiars! Not forgetting the Ogre and armoured skellies Phreedh sent me this force is certainly shaping up into something to be reckoned with...

I'd better get on with some painting!  o_o

Here's some better pics finally! Now I must stop dabbling in the Dark Arts and get on with my militia for Orc's Drift!

The paintjob is great!
But I can't really decide if I genuinely like the mini, or if its one of the car crashes where you just can't stop watching (and admire if you're a very weird person).

Haha - he is a bit larger than life!   ;)

Know what you mean - personally I think I'm one of those weird people...  ;D

So another little addition to the warband...

I thougt a little ethereal host wouldn't go amiss and couldn't resist this chap on ebay!





Possibly the daftest mini I've painted but I do love it so! Shame the rest of the C series night horrors tend to go for fairly high prices...

You should've sculpted a pointy cone on his head and called him Klanner, the unfriendly ghost. =) I agree, the mini is a bit on the silly side. Nice one! =D

Cheers Phreedh - actually I feel a sudden compulsion to look for Great Dane minis and a scruffy looking chap with a green shirt...  ;)
