From RossM - 15mm Undead and 28mm Retro Chaos Warriors (104 points)

This is the second entry to this year's challenge and continues with the themes in the first entry.

There are quite a few pictures here so please bear with the post.


Three character stands for the 15mm Undead from Alternative Armies. Two major characters at the back and one minor at the front.








Next are four stands of heavy foot spearmen which in Basic Impetus Fantasticus are the backbone of the army - sorry about the pun.





Below are another four stands of heavy foot protected, this time with out spears but with more armour through out.






Moving on now to the retro 28mm Chaos Warriors from Citadel and strictly speaking only the left and right figure are Chaos Warriors. The central front figure is from the C01 range and the rear centre figure is Sir Cador Celestor from the Warrior Knights of Law set.



Sir Cador Celestor





This figure has lost some of its detail through the ages and the colours just aren't right. Completed for now although the cloak colour could possibly change post challenge.





Another preslotta Chaos Warrior and he appears to be a variant figure from one found in the C35 range in Citadel Compendium 2.




Cedric from Compendium 3
At the time of this figures release I didn't manage to pick him up and always wished I had. Move the years on by approximately thirty and an late night eBay purchase and here he is.




So that concludes the second entry to the challenge and adds a few points to the tally:

15mm Cavalry: 2 - 8 pts
15mm Foot: 38 - 76 pts
28mm Foot: 4 - 20 pts

Total - 104

Half way to personal challenge and time is now starting to close in.

Cheers for now.

What a fantastic selection!  I do like the undead chaps - my personal favourites are the bearded skeleton wizard (!) and the chap with the bagpipes.... the mind boggles as to how he gets the puff to blow through it!  Mind you, he is an animated skeleton walking around, so perhaps we just have to suspend our disbelief  little further ;)

Those classic Chaos chaps are a real blast from the past, right up to the hex bases you've given them!  Great painting and I think the pink cloak will allow that one to cut quite a dash whilst wandering through the Realms of Chaos.

104 points looks good and well done on getting halfway!

  2. "backbone of the army" - now, that's not very humerus ;)

    Nice work Ross :)

    1. Thanks Greg, hadn't thought of the wizard as an undead Gandalf. So obvious when pointed out.

      Cheers, Ross

    1. Thanks for saying so. There is great character in the early Citadel and Rap Partha figures that I feel deserves to be seen more.

      Cheers, Ross
