Undead for 'Oldhammer'

I'm currently starting some small forces for WHFB3, starting with Undead (because that's what I had lying around).  Here is my progress thus far:

They look great, Fipps. Love the colour choices.

I love them! Very clean and grim paint jobs, I can almost smell the rot. I'm looking forward to your updates!

Cock on.  8)

I have a number of them languishing in my "unfinished 3rd Ed Armies" drawer at home. One day...

Very nicely done.

There are some superb minis in the DSA range, (did that ever take off outside Germany?) a bit variable in scale unfortunately but quality of sculpting that is still amongst the very best.

Some great stuff here, looking forward to seeing this develop! But seriously, why WFB?!?!? Kings of War is sooo much better ;)

Seriously though, I don't mean to give you a hard time about rules, but check out KoW if you get the chance.

Again, great figs.

You are batting 1000 of the gate with this one! Love the bug eyes on that one guy. I did something like this for my zombies. Also I am not at all a fan of Klocke but I can't argue those ogres are great. If I ever make another order to RP earope.

Thanks for the comments guys.

Well the 'Oldhammer' thing is a bit of a trend at the moment and I'm a sucker for trends!  But, seriously, I have actually played KoW a couple of times earlier in the year and really liked it: its simplicity and elegance effortlessly kicks the clunky beast that is WHFB into touch.  I have actually been toying with the idea of getting skirmish movement trays - because this would allow me to use less models to represent units - specifically for playing KoW as well.  Third edition WHFB is a lot of fun, though!
