Ghouls!

"Thy soul shall find itself alone
’Mid dark thoughts of the gray tombstone..."

Finished! Well, I plan to add a coach, ie a nasty necromancer, but these four corpse-eaters are enough to take the team to 16 players, and so it shall remain, forever remain.

I am not entirely sure what my goal was here. To make them pink and somewhat 'stealer hybrid-esque? Mission accomplished, I think. I did want to give them more colour than the dead members of the team, and I wanted them to look a bit inhuman and unhealthy, without getting into any nurgle-tones.

I decided against painting blood on them, grime etc. I think a cleaner look is a bit creepier anyway.

There you have it. Done.

Wights! Here comes the razor's edge...

"Razor's edge to raise the dead..."

These are no doubt the most colourful undead that I have ever produced. I can't quite decide if I hate them or not, but I think they work with the others.

They get to avoid football gear because they're of course just ancient evil douchebags who have crawled out of their graves to bash heads.

These are metal, except for the GW plastic heads.

Skeletons! Evil walks behind you!

These are plastic as well. GW, but with heads swapped for football helmet wearing ones. Not that the GW heads would noy have worked in a pinch, but still...

Simple to paint, yet quite effective. I would have liked them a little more awkward-looking, and doing the bones in this way is og course a choice too. They could have been whiter and/or had darker/black shade.

Will I field three? Probably not.

Zombie attack

Here are the zombies!

Plastic, yes. While there are good zombies to be had elsewhere - and I have them - I wanted to stay strictly 28 mm or at least on the small side of 30, and I wanted to experiment with quick and dirty techniques for the skin, ie coloured primer and a series of washes. So here it is.

Skin decomposes in many funny ways, so imho there is no one way to do zombie skin. Except to generally stay away from rotten skin colours, as they are usually just a bathroom set light green...

This is also an experiment with static grass, this particular kind being 'dead'. Fitting, I thought.

Team colours are poisonous green and brown. Skellies up next! All comments welcome.

Mum is the word

My undead are taking shape, speed-painted and strictly 28 mm, yet with a mix of plastics thrown in just to keep it cheap and nasty.

Well, truth be told, I have boat loads of the undead, but few that really matched in size and style.

First up: mummies. Note how they are not giants. Assuming you are not a bandaged ogre, you would be smaller than you are now post mortem, dried up and with several organs missing. So. Death to huge mummies. Do not want.

I go for the toilet-papered look all the way. Grey or brown? Not striking enough. 

Mine are maybe a bit too athletic for such a low AG...

Skaven coach

Huh? No, I am not sidetracked and working on a skaven team. I merely fixed some details on this converted fantasy skaven with a playbook so that he may perhaps coach a friend's skaven team to glory.

His hand with a lame staff has been surgically removed and replaced with one that waves the players on, and obviously the grimoire and pointy hat are untouched. One cool detail is the very 'football in the 80s' scarf that he also wears.

Chaos group shot

In case anyone wondered about the relative sizes of the players... They are from three different non-GW manufacturers, but it's hardly an issue here.

All that's missing are numbers on the bases and varnish.
