ErikP - Digging Up Old Friends or Undead on the Rise for Midgard (points 35)

Hello Everyone,

For this week I have been digging these up from the grave.  Here are thirty-three (33) Wargames Atlantic 10mm foot Skeletons for the unit and command stand. 

When I was starting to base these figures, I realized that somehow I miscounted how many figures I needed to paint. I was short a 5-man strip short.  As you can see here, the stand on the right side is missing the second rank. I'll finish the missing 5-Skeletons up when I paint up the next unit. 

Other than that miscount, these figures have painted up pretty well.  

The only issue may be that these figures are a bit thin as compared to some of the other undead that I have seen for this scale.  I used grass tuffs to add a little contrast and detail to the bases.

Recently BruceR submitted some great 10mm skeletons that had very nice bulk to them.  He did a really wonderful job on his army, posted on Wednesday 28 Jan, his figures are from Forest Dragon, 3D printed and they are pretty nice.

I am planning on using my undead figures for playing Midgard Heroic Battles rules by James Morris.  This was a test unit and Command base that I wanted to try.  I also picked up Orcs, Dwarves, and Samuri & Ashigaru from Wargames Atlantic as well, so this is the start of another big project getting back into 10mm fantasy battles.

I plan on using movement trays of four stands for using Midgard rules.  I envision vast armies fighting the battle of five armies.  

These are going to replace the GW Warmaster Undead army I sold about 5-6 years ago, along with High Elves, and Chaos armies, what a mistake that was... Got to remember never sell projects you think you'll never go back too.  Leason learned, I hope. 

These were primed with GW Bone Color, then washed with Army Painter Strong Tone, followed by Speed Paints for shields and the banner. Since they are just skeletons, I kept it simple and just highlighted the bones with Vallejo's Off White, and Vallejo metallics for weapons.

Command stand banner Skull is decal from an old GW Imperial Guard transfer sheet I had in a drawer.  

Thank you for talking a look.

Summary of Points:

33 x 10mm foot @ 1 point = 33 points.

Total = 33 points.

Squirrel Points = +1 (Prussian Epic [13.5mm], Farmer Civilians 28mm, and Undead 10mm)

Total Squirrel Points = 3.

And + Skull Points = 35 Skull points. 

From DaveD . Nice skellies. Thin undead somehow seem right to me. Well at least you get to paint new skellies to replace the old . , and it’s a cracking job . The banner is excellent , getting decals on in that space and the rest to do it deserves a little something . 35 it is
