Hello, not su much to post this time but I wanted to keep this a little alive :))
I show you how big is at the moment my undead army:
Around 60 infantry (I made three melee units, archers at the moment i have so little..) , some vampire and necromancer leaders, some creatures and a single rider..
Plastic figures from:
Good old Caesar set (skeletons and so on)
Dark Alliance "Army of the dead.."
Game pieces form "Battlelore" and "Defenders of the realm" (too big, near 25mm scale, not so bad when mixed)
Some prevously living for several sets-- I found "Mars" teutonic stuff as very useful as undead (becaise of the horrible poses and sculpting...)
Monsters form boardgame "Battlelore" again and "Descent"-- Here yoy find a giant evil bat (some kinf of "Vargheist" or "Varghulf"¿?), as well as some zombie dogs and wolves Barghests¿?
Metal figs from:
"Blood dawn"- 18mm range which I converted to 1/72 with great fun
Vlad Tepes the Impaler; converted actual Vlad from Lucky Toys, but better equipped with Zvezda armoured body and barded metal warhorse from "Tumbling Dice" miniatures
.....
Important was trying to get oxided and damaged armours.. I mixed metal paint with brown and added little orange spots.. it worked more or less :)
General overview:
,,,,,
View of several foot units. I mixed skeleotns and zombies with no criteria.. (I always found a little idiot the Warhammer concept of having them as separate.. My inspiration is in this case "game of thrones" army of the dead...any corpse is useful for an undead horde) many conversions with previously "living" plastic bodies together with skulls
4 Lonesome archers (more to come) with the runinng dead monsters on the background
Here the leaders; a sexy vampiress, the undead Lord Vlad the Impaler, and the giant bat or Varghulf in the background.. My single dead cavalry trooper also here (more to come...)
.. And for more fun, I stafted also the greenskin hordes wich must fight againsdt my elf eagle rider and troops...
First some goblins.. I mixed one GW Snotlings with some nice 15mm orcs I bought formn Mirliton (Italy) the do look OK as goblins, next to the 1/72 Conan characer and his dwarf ally!
Caesar goblin also for comparison (size is compatible)
Those Goblins were not match at all for the mighty cimmerian, so that some orc brutes are also joining the battle as reinforcement!
Figs form Cesar sets I and II, Blood Dawn (shadiw corp.) 15mm ogres (quite good for 1/72 orcs again), the chieftain is a metal grenadier half-orc, and in the lot also even another metal mithril venerable figure...
A pair of smaller "snaga" are there, form Dark Alliance set I (snaga are a lower rank in orc society, the word means "slave", so I will considerate every smaller orc form Alliance and even GW Moria orcs as these.. not so small as goblins but no much dignity either)
At the moment I have around 70 undead, 40 elves, 40 dwarves and these small 15 troop orc contingent.. Humand I must reorganize
My plan before my live ends, is to get following armies, of around 300-400 troop each (big challenge!) probably my elder son (or grandson ?)will go on this...
