From PaulS - As One Necromancer Said to the Other... (32 Points)

Unless someone else starts painting any DS models, we may need to call this side challenge dead... though the Necromancers could always resurrect it again if necessary.

On the right we have Mortibris, the necromancer from Dungeon Saga. As a model he's a bit bland and lacks a lot of crisp detail, so some exaggerated highlighting and shadows were needed in some places. Accompanying him is the necromancer from Zombicide: Black Plague (hereafter called Lord Black). Lord Black and his apprentice, Mortibris, will lead one of the Frostgrave warbands.

You can see from the scale here that Zombicide characters are a bit bigger than normal, but this is exaggerated by Mortibris, like all the heroes in DS, being tiny. Just wait until I get to the halfling character :/



One of Mortibris' lead henchmen is this undead troll shaman. Model wise it has loads of detail that paints up really easily. I did, however, make the mistake of going for green robes along with the putrescent flesh colour, so it isn't as clear. I can't think of anything currently listed in Frostgrave for this one sadly.


Lastly we have some tormented spirits. I decided to do these as dark, glowing shapes rather than white ghosts to show their trapped, tormented and evil nature. These can be wraiths or spectres in Frostgrave.


So this should be another 37 points as the troll is another big'un. 5 of these figures will count towards the Frostgrave challenge unless someone can think of a use for the zombie troll shaman ;)


Niiice! More Frostgrave goodness. Such great colours here.  Lovin' the shackled spectre with the ball and chain. In the right light it looks like me after seeing my credit card balance after Christmas...
Wonderful stuff Paul!
(Gee whiz, Willickers, I guess I should be updating the Duel Roster sometime soon...)

  1. Very nice work Paul! I really like the glowing blue effect on the spirits. Really makes them quite eerie looking

  2. Who has not got a very good use for a Zombie Troll Shaman? I know I have.

    Nothing to stop him being your main Wizard or apprentice. It might give you an extra chuckle!

    1. This is true. He could have a halfling apprentice for even more giggles ;)

    2. I suppose, technically, he is Mortibris' apprentice in Dungeon Saga, so he may make quite a good necromancer's apprentice...

  5. Great couple of magicians - Mortibris fresh from raising the dead and Lord Black fresh from running a newspaper empire!
    ; )
    Lovely brushwork on them, and on their henchfiends!

  6. They all look really nice, excellent brushwork! The troll is really impressive, but my favorites are the necromancers, a lot of detail there!

  8. Great! Again one of the things I've been mulling over is whether or not to cut my various Kickstarter game pieces off of their bases to use for Oldhammmer and what not. You are showing me the way. I could conceivably still do DS but I haven't really broken out any of the figures and am horribly behind on the Sci-Fi challenge.

  10. Lovely work as always. The spectres are really quite spookily effective.
