Thanks gents.

You mean the strong tone from the big can or the ink? I recently bought one of those cans so that will be a happy coincidence.

I have both, but on these I used the strong tone ink ( I used it on these only because it dries so quickly)

With regards to the flowers, YPU hit the nail on the head. I used bright living flowers to contrast with the dead knights. It also adds a splash of colour to a dark subject.

Those look lovely.  But what a price.  And they come in fives.

Thank you. I agree the Black Knights are expensive but i picked them up on Ebay for a reasonable price.

Next up some Mantic Skeletons to act as "Light Foot"





The banner is a scrap piece of card which my dog had chewed! Weird what I make use of sometimes.........



I have re-painted my Wight King's face as I didn't like the glow effect

Just completed some more minis for my Undead Army.
These are my Foot Knights which I will probably field as a reduced unit of Heavy Foot.









I have another unit of Sergeants, a unit of Archers and some Ghouls which I will post shortly.

Brilliant painting - lovely colours and the rust/weathering is great - just one thing...

Is it just me or are there too many flowers?  Individually they look fab - as a group is it too much?  Perhaps rein in the flowers for just the special characters or odd figure otherwise it kind of looks like the unit has invaded someone's garden.

What make are the figures?  Or are they conversions?

I'd like some of them in my own undead horde.

Thank you all for the comments.

lol  see your point about the garden!  I've tried to make the bases as "full of life" as I can to contrast with the dead soldiers. The jolly summer flowers to brighten them up and the red poppies as a nod to the battlefields. When they are ranked up I have tried to make the plants flow from one base to the next. They actually don't look quite so bright in the flesh. ....... or they have invaded Chelsea flower show......

What make are the figures?  Or are they conversions?

The Foot Sergeants are all from Mantic and are pretty much straight builds. The Foot Knights are a combination of Mantic bodies with bits from Fireforge ( helmets, Shields, some weapons and cloaks). Hope that helps.
