Man this is tough. I love violent chicks but the undead are pretty cool in their rotten look.

Dr. Chimpula, your Bandida's are lovely, the scenery is great and I especially like the dressing of the horse, nice and colourful. Well done! :)

Doomhippie> thanks! I am still not tired of painting my beloved skeletons so there are many more to come still 8)

Dr. Moon> thank you, he's quite an extensively converted skeleton made to look like "Mikael Jacsen" from the Terror of the Lichemaster scenario. The original figure commands prices from 40-100 quid which is way too dear for me so I made my own 8)

Raz> the font is Brutal Tooth:

Which in turn is basically the Brutal Truth logo in font form (but works well for my skeletons too):

Thanks! The main difference is that mine has the sword in the right hand rather than the left:



I used as many reference pictures as I could find, mostly taken from old eBay auctions 8)

Thanks, Pil! I feel honoured to be up against such an amazing entry as yours. I especially love your tartan and of course the flamin' hair  :D Your skeletons are the best!

Like these ones as much as the rest, Pil.
Tartan looks like it's been robbed from on of my Highland Dwarves tho. lol

Hehe, could be, I figured blue/green/white would set off nicely against the rust and the orange hair, it wasn't consciously stolen though ;)
