From PaulSS: The Danse Macabre - 172pts

For the bonus theme round I made a start on a 10mm Undead force for Midgard, this week the Danse Macabre continues.

All the figures are 3D prints from the Forest Dragon range printed by MGS, and I must say they are bloody gorgeous figures that makes painting them a joy.

First up a quartet of characters to lead the Danse.

Three Necromancers and a mounted Wight, an avatar of Death hmself!

Excuse the extreme close ups, showing every botched brush-stroke and missed line, but the detail on these chaps is insane at 10mm!

The figures themselves are painted in the main using Vallejo Model colours and Army Painter Soft Tone, but for the raw magic I used Citadel Contrast Warp Lightning

Talking of the insane amount of detail on these figures, if you look closely, a skeletal hand is breaking ground from the grave at the Necromancers feet!

For the Wight I added a couple of figures from the Raised Skeletons set to the base. For an idea of the scale, these bases are 25mm in diameter.

Now onto the troops, starting with a unit of heavy hitting Skeleton Knights.

Because this range is designed for making Warmaster armies, the cavalry are printed two to a base, one at the front and one at the back, I managed to separate out enough of them to be able to make this "wild charge" vignette.

A couple of the Raised Skeletons set were also added to the base for scenic effect.

Moving on from the mounted heavy hitters to some solid fighty foot in the form of a unit of Wights. 

Hopefully, these stout warriors will form the core of my line and act as a bodyguard for my Necromancer.

 

Another unit of skeletons added to complement the two I did in the bonus round.

I stuck with a red, black and white scheme (Vallejo Black Red, Black Grey and Stone Grey) for the core of the force, but for the auxiliary troops I went more down and dirty, some-what of a theme for my challenge this far.

A shambling horde of Zombies in muted tones, the weapons were also painted from a rusty base.

Finally for this week, three units of Dire Wolves to rove ahead of the army and hopefully pick off any enemy skirmishers that may be an annoyance.

Again the detail is insane, not only do they have festering wounds on them, the ribs are poking through!

 Twelve mounted, 124 foot and 24 hounds in 10mm adds another 172 points to my total.

Now into the free-fire round where I hope to be adding a few more walking dead to the force.

I want to say many thanks to Dave for being my minion this year, we could not do it without these great volunteers! 

From DaveD. That’s a great mix of things there. The 10mm mass always works really well. I really like the skellies . You have had a good consistent challenge Paul, enjoy the last few days . It’s been a crew to look after as a minion cheers !
