WIP - Skeleton Snake Men

Doing some work on these wonderful skeleton snake men sculpted by Tim Prow from Die Hard Miniatures. They produce four separate snake men, which will eventually appear in my undead lizard man contingent, but because I can't stay away from my armies of antiquity - I got a few extra to convert into figures for my undead Classical Greek army, starting with an undead Cecrops I.

Here are the individual figs out of the pack:




After zenithal priming:






Basecoated in Thar Brown and Decayed Metal by Scale Colour:





Bone parts washed with GW's Agrax Earthshade:





Verdigris effect created using GW's Nihilakh Oxide technical paint. I love that stuff!







And here is the progression of Cecrops I. Cecrops was the mythical first king of Athens who is portrayed as half man and half snake. This is a simple head swap using the helmed skull from the (recently defunct) Spartan Games Heroes of Myth & Legend Skeletons. It was fortuitous that I had some extra blisters of these skeletons, because the snake men are ogre sized and a 28mm skull is too small, while a 54mm skull is too big. The Spartan Games minis were in an unusual 40mm size - which actually made a perfect match with the snake men!

Dirty Little Hobbitses!

Well, the big Kickstarter is here. After several smaller ones, John McManis is asking for crowd funding for the big core hand weapon/spear units of undead Halflings! Nice!







But what weapons would Hobbits really use?

Titan-Forge - Zomblins

Zomblins
Company: Titan-Forge
Part #:
Sculptor: Slawek
Released: 2012


If there is one thing I wish we'd see more of, it's miniature companies making more demi-humans. I have thousands upon thousands of skeletal humans, but only a handful of skeeton orcs, goblins, dwarves, skaven, lizardmen or elves.  Especially elves! Jesus, can't we get some more undead elves other than the standard bearer from the Cursed Company and that one in the Otherworld Demi-Human pack???

Well here to fill the void is Polish company Titan-Forge, who ran a startlingly successful indiegogo campaign last year to fund their Drakskull's Menace line. When you look at the miniatures from Titan-Forge and Scibor, there is some seriously outstanding work coming out of Poland these days.

Now normally I don't do zombies (Nothing but bone! NOTHING BUT BONE!!!) but in this case, I'm making an exception. Not only do these miniatures fill a glaring gap in my Legion (undead goblins) but they are darn cool looking as well.  Not to mention fun to paint. So now I have a solid unit of undead gobbos to compliment my hodgepodge undead orc units. I'm taking the fight to my orcish rival! Beware Ork-boy!
