These figures were not meant to be a part of this challenge or anything at present however, plans are made to be changed and changed they were.
There is a mixture of old and new in this so starting with the new, well nearly all of the new at eleven Oathmark skeleton based as a regiment for Kings of War. There is a twelfth figure on another base that will be here shortly.
When I say new, I should say newly painted as the figures have been in the pile of shame for several years now. The colour scheme was painted to match the previously painted figures as best as possible and there is one of the rear right hand group that does just that.
Here are both groups together, with the newly painted to the right of screen as viewed and the previously painted to the left. Same figures, paints, painting methods and varnishing; the difference between left and right has been a different primer. The newly painted were primed with grey car primer the previously painted skeletons had been primed with Army Painter Skeleton Bone....just goes to show how a little change can make a difference.
Basing these has been interesting and very similar to basing Impetus armies about a decade or so ago. The multi-figure base allows more use of flocks, tufts and foliage to create a theme on the basing and as a result across the army.
12 x 28mm infantry at 5 each = 60 points
12 skulls at 1 each = 12 points
Total for this entry being 72 points
Thanks for looking and if I am unable to post for the 20th, its been great being part of this in 2024/25.
Cheers for now.

The best plans are those that incorporate agility to shift with our ever changing whims Ross! And I'm thrilled that these bony lads made the cut. They really come together well en mass and the purple wildflowers on the basing give a great splash of colour to bring them together. Good stuff!
60 points for the figs (skulls don't get extra points that I'm tracking, sorry)

I like them! Good work, Ross! Purple tufts give a nice supernatural feel.
