Bringing Out More Dead
Posted On November 20, 2017
My tombs were heavy on the physical dread and light on the spiritual dread, so I fixed that with a little help from Splintered Light. Their ghostly packs sell packaged in numbers suitable for big battle games rather than skirmishes. So I added a chunk of lead to my never-to-be painted mountain.
Being a rather clever fellow, I also turned a few of these single sculpts into different monsters through the expedient of different paint schemes. In addition to standard black, I painted a handful up in a LotR ghastly greenish glow.
Here’s a slightly better side by side comparison. The contrast is even more stark in person. So the black robes can serve as more skeletons or wraiths, and the green guys can be ghosts or shadows or something equally impervious to less than silver or magic weapons.
I also found this towering skeleton giant in a bag of twelve plastic toys for sixty cents the day after Halloween. I picked the best looking figure and simply mounted and painted him – didn’t even need to trim any flash – and look how he towers over that dark elf (spoilers for my next post!).

Nice work. I was looking at getting some of those models to add to my undead collection.
