Unboxing The Undead
Part 1/2

This weekend I took some time to take pictures of my undead army. It started with this small army and got bigger. The figures were painted 5 to 6 years ago and then stored in a box and never got touched since then.

 
The box and its content, there was almost no dust and only a couple of miniatures needed some glue to fix broken parts.
This are so many minis that it seems like I have to split this post into two parts. In this posts only the regiments and groups will be shown, hero and character models will get their seperate post which may come today.

 
 
Old Games Workshop second generation plastic skeletons. Then we have some metal bats and ghosts with no big modifications. The dead dwarf on the third picture is from a Mantic dwarf set.

 
 

A regiment of Ghouls made by Mantic with an old GW ghoul in the front row. Followed by two units of zombies who are are mix ox Mantic zombies and ghouls, Zvezda zombies and some other minis, there is even a nazizombie. Some Renedra gravestones and a scenic base frome Basex Of War are used as fillers.
The last picture shows three undead balefire catapults from Mantic with some Mantic and a couple of old Citadel (?) figures.

 
 
 
More miniatures from Mantic. First a regiment of  undead revenants.
Next is another unit of  undead revenants with modifications. I removed the old arms and built new arms using skeleton parts from the bits box and the swords of GW Imperial troops, followed by a small unit of crossbows. The figures in the center and left of it are built from spareparts, the other three are made of metal.
On the last picture you see a undead cavallery unit by Russian producer Zvezda's "Ring of Rule" range. These figures have Roman style armours. They got new lances and some of them got new heads.

 
More minis by Games Workshop. This time a group of undead wolves, some are Claymore Saga (?) wolves with undead wolves metal heads.
Next is a regiment of undead spearmen. These are a mix of first and second generation plastic skeletons mixed with other minis, some of them metal. The giant in the regiment is a metal figure, too.
Then comes the undead black coach. I changed the skeleton horses for undead wolves to give it a more dynamic look. The coffin is unpainted and stored in the spare box.

I have another of these black coaches that will get painted in a different style when I am in the mood for it. Seems like I could make a second extrapost in which I could show the unpainted undead troops that are waiting for painting.

 
I have no idea which manufactures´these flying units come from. They are made from metal and their bases were removed. Then they got new flying bases.
On the first of the two pictures there are also some Mantic skeleton dogs.

Last but not least comes my favorite regiment of undead swordmen. These minis are made by Mantic except for the champion in the center. Some of them got katanas instead of their normal swords, I think I will do this with the rest of them too.

In the next post I will give you a look at the champions and characters of this army.
