Zombie Marine

 Zombie Colonial Marine I got as a freebie from Weprintminiatures.

Undead Skeletons

 Another block of skeles, a mix of plastic Oathmark, Mantic and the Lich from Alternative Armies.

Ghostly Sisters of Battle

 Attempted a ghostly paint scheme on some old metal miniatures. Actually painted these up months ago before I started my new army...should have hung onto them and painted them for the army...

Alternative Armies Litch

 Metal mini from Alternative Armies. he is going to make up the officer type of my next block of skeletons.

Ghost's

 Another group of Sigmar ghost miniatures I found at the bottom of the sprue pile in the garage, finally painted and added to the growing undead army.

Banshee's

 Found a bunch of ghostly sprues while clearing out the garage. As I've been on a bit of an undead kick decided to add them to the growing necromantic horde.

Undead Horde

 Been working on these undead infantry blocks for that last few weeks. Skeletons and zombies from Mantic. Cheap and cheerful models, but there are issues, the skele's don't fit together very well, and the zombies limb joints are fairly weak, which has resulted in a few one armed zombies.

Reaper Bog Skeletons

 Another group of skeletons. I need to paint up one more for a full block of 20.

Reaper Skeletons

 The undead horde grows. On a bit of an undead kick at the minute, got another 47 miniatures to paint up.

Skeleton Warriors

 Small group of undead from Midlam Miniatures. I think I picked these up in 2018 and tossed them in a drawer until the other week.

Zombie's

Bulk painted HeroQuest Zombies, kinda happy with the grey flesh.

HeroQuest Monsters

Well, I figured it was high time I made a dent in the huge pile of plastic fantasy miniatures I acquired many moons ago. So here you go, enjoy.

Fantasy Undead

Been awhile since I did any fantasy miniatures, figured I should tackle the growing pile for my HeroQuest project. Anyhow, the skeleton is from GW's metal Tomb Kings range and fairly certain you cant get it anymore. I have no idea where the mummy is from, any suggestions, let me know below.

Midlam Miniatures Vampires and Crypts

So I recently discovered Midlam Miniatures had recently opened up a store in Pewlaw, Gateshead, 5 minutes drive from where I work, so I took a trip there last week. What I found was a nice little shop, with clean displays, nice shelves with everything on display and a huge collection of board games and rule books, not to mention the staff were nice and friendly. As a result I came away with a few purchases, mainly the Vampire Horde and two crypts.

The horde is a nice 25/28mm (old style size) 7 figure set for £10, unlike the rest of Midlams range which is fantasy based, these are clearly Gothic Horror, with an old Hammer Horror feels, which is no bad thing.

The crypts come in a his and hers, which is nice, again for £10, and metal, unlike a lot of scenery these days. They are a bit on the small side, the old HeroQuest crypt will dwarf these, still, they are quite nice. 

Another nice feature is the lids lift off to reveal the contents, their owners have seen better days. 

Bob the vampire heading for a nice days rest.

Zombie Ogre

A rather large zombie from the old DarkWorld board game (I think). Like most of my mini's these days hes been sat in a drawer for years, and finally got a quick splash of paint yesterday.

Enjoy.

Direguard

An old (2005) D&D prepainted miniature repurposed for my current HeroQuest campaign (Witchlord) which requires a tonne of Undead.

Undead for HeroQuest

Its been a while since I posted anything, though Ive had a few miniatures on my desk I just couldnt get around to finishing them, I blame a heavy dose of Metal Gear Solid HD, Lollipop Chainsaw and a bout of depression from work wanting me to go to China for 2 months (noooooooooooooooo!).

Anyhow I got quite a few finished thise week and first up is these skinny undead for my HeroQuest project. They come from the old Parker's Dungeon and Dragons board game (which is based on HeroQuest so will need to get a copy of that sometime) and are slightly softer plastic than what Im used to from say GW or Mantic, not very well detailed and kind of a pain to paint,though they will do for gaming with.

The Haul

I stopped by my friend Lee's house earlier and after having a ferrit about in his loft came away with the above horde of goodies, plus a bunch of Hero Quest furniture, one rather warped board, at least two decks of Treasure and Spell cards and a whole bunch of broken mini's.

The good stuff is as follows..

8 Battlemasters Orcs 7 Battlemasters Beastmen 7 Battlemasters Chaos Archers 8 Battlemasters Goblins 4 Battlemasters Goblin Wolf Riders (2 with wolves) 1 Battlemasters Chaos Warrior 2 Plastic horses 3 Heroquest Orcs 2 Heroquest Goblins 4 Heroquest Fimir 2 Heroquest Chaos Warriors 1 Heroquest Sorceror The Wizard, Barbarian and Dwarf from Heroquest 2 Heroquest Skeletons 1 Heroquest Zombie 1 Heroquest Mummy 2 Space Crusade Gretchen 17 Advanced Heroquest Skaven (without shields) 1 1993 Bugman 1 1993 Dwarf Champion (Eyepatch Dwarf) 1 Advanced Heroquest Elf 1 Plastic Empire Wizard (the one with the sphere in his hand) <-- Mine from the early 90's 2 Grenadier Orcs from 1992 <--2nd set of miniatures I ever bought Pretty nice huh?

Yet more HeroQuest stuff

I rattled off a few more Undead for HeroQuest over the last two days, the Skeletons were nice and quick, as was the Mumie, but the Zombies gave me a few problems. I couldn't remember how to paint rotting flesh and ended up with a green blue wash mix on one, kinda reminds me of a 70's zombie movie. While I was at it, I got the big guy painted up as a statue, rather than painting him as a demon, as he is a Gargoyle in HeroQuest, not a Bloodthirster.

While Im in the fantasy mood, I dug through the lead mountain and dug out a tomb and a treasure chest, both from the same Reaper set, they should look good on the board.

Are you my Mumie?

Two more for the HeroQuest project, I should have done the undead first, apart from the Zombies, the skeleton's and mumies are easy.
