What an amazing army!

Love all the old figures and the few other parts that you used.
The use of the old Shokk Attakk Gun is inspired!

Genius!

CONGRATULATIONS! Completing a Horde like that must give you a feeling of relief/release/satisfaction. I enjoyed wandering through you photos. This one is my favorite:



VERY WELL DONE!

Amazing army! I really enjoyed your first installments but seeing the whole army as a playable force for 8th edition is magnificent! Your Warp Lightning Cannon conversion looks suitably old school and the 4th edition screaming bell fits in perfectly as well! I'm not too fond of the power claws on the rat ogres but they do work for variety's sake. Fabulous work and I would love a game against them with my undead!  :-*
Let me hear the battle cry
Calling on the wind
Let me see the banners fly

Thanks all... Always a pleasure to read your comments.
A game against your undeads  Pil ? :-*  ... Could you come to Anwerpen - Crisis 2012? We can build a scenario with 8th rules for The vengeance of the lichemaster - Maison Taal Abbey?

Stunning!

I love the look and feel of the older miniatures; they have so much more 'soul' and character than the new stuff.

How did you source them all; ebay? Must have cost a fortune.

Cheers
Andy

Take time to read this story where you will find Undead & Skaven armies, an inspiration for 8th rules scenario... For Crisis, that will be nice to build a Vintage WHB Miniature... (Groningen/Antwerpen 307km and Metz/Antwerpen 316km)

Amazing!

The Shokk atack gun with the BB kicker is inpired!

The army is only missing Jes Goodwin's later skaven characters (-and the doomwheel driver)
If you don't believe in lead, you're already dead.
