From Millsy: 28mm Oathmark Revenant Undead (195 points)

G'day All!

I'm back with some more undead to follow on from my ghouls last week. These fine reanimated fellows are the (mostly plastic) Oathmark Revenants from North Star Military Figures and they are simply a joy to assemble and paint.

They are pretty much OOTB with only one head swap on the metal hero with the two handed mace. I gave him a plastic head as the metal one looked weedy even for an emaciated animated corpse. It's hard to inspire terror when it looks like you had a run in with a head-shrinking pygmy shaman on the way to war.

I wanted 40 miniatures in total so I needed the equivalent of another 4 infantry model as I only bought 36 (one box of plastics and 6 metal characters). I'm currently kitbashing Revenant spares with the Fireforge Games Living Dead Knights to make some Revenant heavy cavalry and that kit comes with a couple of undead hounds which conveniently fill up the remaining spaces. Winner!

The paint scheme is a more complex attempt at Kev Dalliamore's efforts from the North Star Magazine. I love all Kev's work but in this instance I wanted a bit more variation in shades to I've mixed in some browns and greens, plus highlighted a lot more, especially the faces.

Finally, the banners are handcrafted from a light, open weave fabric kindly sourced by Mrs Millsy. At scale it would be ridiculously rough, and is probably what Necromancer jocks are made from which would explain the constant rage and wish to destroy everything.

All up we have the equivalent of 38 x 28mm infantry models = 190 points, plus whatever Curt deems  to be appropriate for flags made from recycled underpants. That should take me past the halfway mark to my 1,500 point goal and that's with less than a month of the Challenge gone. Happy Days!

Up next, skeleton undead and Revenant heavy cavalry or maybe more Death Guard, plus a few diversions I reckon.

Cheers,
Millsy

Oooh, these are quite fabulous, Millsy. From their wonderfully nasty skin tone (and I say that in a good way), to the aged patina on their armour and shields, they very much look the part of a hardass undead unit. Good call on using the pooches to fill the rinks! I also really like the fallow groundwork, and that fell banner should rightfully instills fear, especially to those who know where its fabric was sourced.

Brilliant work Mr. Mills!
