The Mantic undead trolls are massive beasts (those bases are 40mm) caught in a constant state of regeneration and death by necromantic magics. You don't want to mess with these...
The skeleton horde grows further with three swordsmen. The one good thing about the plastic is that a bit of hot water will allow for some tweaks to pose. For these three I just adjusted the arm position so they vary a bit.
Finally are three archers. Possibly my least favourite models in the Dungeon Saga undead range. Despite being reposed a few times, they keep on bending back into slightly wonky poses, but I suppose they are gangly skeletons... so it works.
So this is another 6 models towards the DS side challenge, and 9 towards the Frostgrave challenge. I'm not sure how many points the trolls are worth. Up to you Curt ;)
Nothing says Christmas like a shambling passel of undead. Once again you've done wonderful work Paul. Those trolls doing their calisthenics look very nasty indeed - I'll score them as 40mm figures.
This desiccated bunch will come in at 51 Points.
"Nothing says Christmas like a shambling passel of undead" I take it you have met some of my relatives then!
ReplyDeleteAs for the figures Fantastic!
Very nice painting work, very interesting figures, too.
ReplyDeleteThose trolls are impressive! All are well painted great job
ReplyDeleteSpooky. I really like what I see of Mantic, and now that I have the Dragon Rampant rules I'm considering some of their fantasy figures. You make them look good.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I've found the Dungeon Saga Mantic models to be much nicer than their normal fantasy range so far; though this is entirely personal preference
DeleteLoving the undead. Seeing those archers does make me worry about my own rebasing efforts.
ReplyDeleteI gave the archers a poke and they seem fairly stable/secure on the bases, even if their feet are a bit twisted... so you should be ok
DeleteGreat bunch of undead, seeing some good work again this year
ReplyDeleteIan
Great job with the skin and bones
ReplyDeleteNever seen undead trolls before. I really like what you did with them, especially the skin tone.
ReplyDeleteForgeworld did some Warhammer undead/plague trolls a few years ago, so it's not the newest of ideas... but Dungeon Saga's ones are really nice models and significantly cheaper than the GW ones ;)

DeleteBut then, a small car is cheaper than most of GW's stuff these days...

Great work on those undead, Paul. You really nailed the skin tones!
Very thematic, the trolls skin and guts and the rust on the skeletons swords, they are some lovely looking minis!
ReplyDeleteLove those trolls!
ReplyDeleteReally good work on them all, Paul! I'm really partial to the trolls though. It's that whole get-of-my-lawn vibe they got going on! ;)
ReplyDeleteVery nice work Paul :)
ReplyDeleteVery nice!
ReplyDeleteSuperb effects on all these figures
