Undead Musician

From a very early stage i wanted my undead army to look like they have just been dug up! So I was going to go for lots of browns and hopefully make the miniatures look very dirty, worn and falling apart.
First up we have a skeleton leader and two skeleton spearmen. I love the skeleton leader figure the pose is such a good leader one and so I mounted him on a ready made base (Black Cat Bases) which had a nice rock he could stand on (oh and a skull!). The skeleton spearmen are on bases that I made myself with some rocks and sculpting putty. All the bases are covered in a nice fine green flock I got from Black Cat Bases. Some poeple suggest painting the flock but I was impressed enough with how it looked not to do this.

More skeleton spearmen again on bases I made myself with a little bag of rocks.

My skeleton spearman unit complete with leader.

Then I moved onto the Zombies. I didn't want totally green looking rotten zombies. The Celtos wargame rules suggest Zombies are temporary vessels for undead spirits so I thought the zombies would look good if they were recently dead. So here we have three zombies with hand weapons. Bases are ready made ones from Black Cat covered in flock. The Celtos miniatures come with a tab for slot type bases so I had to cut that off and pinned the miniatures to the base to make them nice an secure.

Here are some more zombies.
This time they are carrying spears. Not that it matters, in the Celtos rules any weapons carried by the zombies all act the same anyway.

And so onto the complete zombie unit. I want to add a few more to the unit but I'm going to try converting some miniatures from other races in the Celtos game. So I'll add a zombie dwarf, a few orcs and an elf. Should make the unit look quite good with other races in it.

Now on to the Flesheaters! I really like the flesh eater miniatures and because of their name and reputation I just had to put them on different bases. So once again turned to pre made bases from Black Cat. This time I went for piles of skulls! I really like the way the flesheaters look on the skull bases.
In the picture we have the Flesheater champion on the left and the Flesheater Leader on the right. Again I kept the clothing and armour looking like it has just been dug up, but the flesheaters themselves are supposed to be only just dead? So I went for a bloodshot/pale skin combo. Basically not very healthy looking but still containing some blood :)

Here we have the unit of flesheaters in all their screaming glory. Again with these pre made skull bases I took off the tab from the base of the miniatures and pinned them down. With the bases being resin it was very easy to drill through them for the pins. I would definately recommend doing it this way the miniatures feel very secure.

So at last we come to the complete flesheaters unit including the champion and leader. I can't wait to have these guys charging across the battlefield!

I'm still working on a few more leader figures and the undead cauldron!
