Elizabethan Gothic - part 2

[Admiral Benbow]

Great idea and lovely miniatures!

[whiskey priest]

Managed to spend a little bit of time to paint my first couple of zombies



Sir Thomas Cocksure is not impressed!

[Metternich]

As I noted on the Pikes. Muskets etc. board, will love to see where you go with this.

Interesting project. I look forward to seeing updates.

Looking good! First painted ones anywhere I think. 

Regarding possible inspiration, from the same author as the Geuzen, there's also this, which features the ghost of a Spanish noble, murdered by the Duke of Alva/Alba because he was bringing an order from the Spanish King to stop the siege of the Flemish town of Kriekebeek.



Another story figures the Dulle Griet (though in present day), taken from another Brueghel painting. The great thing about this one is that Lead Adventure Miniatures do a figure for her.

Renaissance zombies...... Whats not to like

De Geuzen! Forgot about that! I should get some of those. on the inside cover there always was a foldout incision by Brueghel. And they were done by Vandersteen himself, and not his apprentice.

My whole Mordheim obsession in 1999/2000 was fueled by Breughel and what I remembered from the Geuzen comic.

Another one done


I'm loving the Flemish comics, it's quite a relief that I'm not the only person coming up with this mad idea. I also just remembered last night that citadel did a headless ghost in their night horrors range

and I think I've managed to secure myself one!

Great thread. Lots of inspiration for my own horror game based on Solomon Kane 

[whiskey priest]

Quick update. Got the Zombies finished



And I've started work on the rest of the casts for an upcoming game.


The mad monk, Hurtz the bodyguard (and ex-family goat) and arch villainess Mistress Giselle


And to add a bit of punch to the villains there will be some spaniards


Attempting to stop the Spanish from taking advantage of Giselle's dark arts in order to defeat the beggars is Sir Thomas Cocksure an his two (as yet unamed) Brothers in arms


And their brave crew of freedom fighters.

As ever, more on the Blog.

VERY NICE STUFF! All the Folk, living or otherwise, are OUTSTANDING or soon will be. This is becoming an increasingly WONDERFUL thread to follow.

[warburton]

Awesome, so very awesome. I am really tempted to drop my current projects and start my (as yet totally unpainted) Elizabethans.

[whiskey priest]

Quick update. Managed to get Giselle and Hurtz finished without falling foul of the wife's temper!





Some more bits and bobs on the blog and I've also got a date to play a game in a couple of weeks so I need to get o with building the 4ground houses I bought as well.

Hurtz is awesome! Looks like he was an original figure rather than a conversion.

Btw, hope you don't mind me reposting your pictures of the zombies on my blog with a link to this thread?
