I actually dug it out of the box last night and it appears that I started building it at some point. I must have totally fogotten about doing it! Just needs the head and hand fixed on, and maybe the greave repositioned.

The damn thing's based as well! When the hell did I do that?   :o  o_o  Must have been a while ago as there is a lot of Miliput in the joins...

If I can summon the will to complete it, I'll whack some pictures up.

I am really glad that Armorman39 has dragged this thread back into the light as I am putting together an Undead army soon and this is pure inspiration.

Thanks, I guess a little thread-o-mancy is appropriate for this bunch. If you like them don't forget to check out the follow-up thread with a 100+ Nightmare Legion:



A Cry From The Crypt

After this I haven't sat still all the time, here's an undead mammoth:



(More pictures here: http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=36299.0 )

I also painted up an old Plague Cart and Grenadier's emperor on palanquin:





(More pictures of both here: http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=34030.0 )

In the Lead Painters' League I added to my army as well:



Bad to the bone, undead vikings versus dwarf pirates.



Death Riders



Sic Transit Gloria Mundi



Hierotitan



Phantom lord



And last not but least, the one and and only Lichemaster. Actually, being a conversion he's not the one and certainly not the only, but still... ;)

Mason, I'm looking forward to seeing your undead very much! 8)

FANTASTIC! That is a TRULY IMPRESSIVE Labor of Love. Each of the pieces is BEAUTIFULLY DONE in it's own right & adds to the overall effect. I love the way all the diverse minis work together. This is INSPIRATIONAL STUFF!

Mostly yes, he's based on this model now available from Mega Miniatures:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/8750195033 (can't seem to find a current listing though)



He got a head and staff swap from Morbius the Liche and a green stuff hat.



Thanks all for the kind words, mind you though that the original topic is nearly two years old ;)

Two years old is nothing compared to the lead! If you were willing to perform a bit of necromancy on the lead pile, I'm sure no one will mind us lot doing the same to the thread (there was a pun there, I will admit!).

Fantastic work as I said before (years ago, no doubt!), please do keep it up as it's very inspiring!!!

Amazing paintwork! :-*

 I've got about 300-350 vintage undead metal miniatures and I'm afraid most of them forever will be unpainted, but now I'm going to spare some hours a day and start working on them.

Thanks for motivation!  :D
