Triumph of Death: Death Rides a Pale Green Horse
« on: March 27, 2017, 12:36:06 AM »
Death Rides a Pale Green Horse
Hot off the sculpting table! This grim smiling fellow, is based off of a drawing by Albrecht Durer, fabulously brought into 3d by the sculpting talents of Drew Day Williams. Death is going to be the first unlock stretch goal for my impendingly imminent Kick Starter.

We've designed the model to accept different arms. Currently  it comes with the traditional scythe and another outstretched arm holding an hour glass, giving you options of the flavor of commander you want to lead your undead legions (or get more than one and have lieutenants).

The Sound of Dooooom!

Adding to my command pack choices is the horn player. Based unadbashidly off of Holbein's Totentanz wood cut of musicians, this herald of doom holds his period horn high.

Ooohh these are some of the first undead I like! I like the grim and macabre feeling they have..

Lord Odo- I really owe the grim look and "realism" to the Master artists of their time who really were seeing it every day on battlefields and streets- and to Drew Day Williams who is doing a fantastic job sculpting them.
Here's a sneak peak at another new green. This one is a nod to the old Minifigs line of the early 80's.

I can see myself backing this one.

The rectangular bases really bring back the old Minifigs vibe...

First thing I thought of was the old Minifigs Valley of the Four Winds skellies.  Nicely done!

Michael- thanks. Minifigs were the first army I ever played with (against Romans). Kind of my first crush of minis. These are my homage to them.

These are superb! They'll make for quite the best-looking undead army out there when they're released.

I've been humming and hawing as to whether I should mix my old Citadel skeletons in with my HOTT chaos hordes or keep them for an undead HOTT army in the future. But that decision's made for me now - if I am to have an undead army in the future, it'll be one that uses these miniatures!

Hobgoblin (great moniker BTW) Thanks for the kind words. We've designed the ToD minis to mix in well with the Citadel/GW skellies. Here's a scale pic.
