Sharkbelly Posted August 15, 2021 Share Posted August 15, 2021 (edited) Hi all, When Games Workshop started teasing their update to the Soulblight Gravelords army, I have to say I was hooked. The undead were my first Warhammer army a little over 20 years ago, when the Vampire Counts first split from the rest of the undead and the Tomb Kings were not yet officially a thing. In the intervening 20 years, my Vampire army grew and then shrank, and finally took on a very Piratical theme. With the new SBGL army, I thought this would be a good time to build a proper Age of Sigmar army. I was also heavily drawn in by the Warhammer Quest Cursed City game, too. And I had already been collecting some of the Warhammer Underworlds undead. So... I was already on my way. Since I also play D&D, I thought it would be cool to try to find or create models for many of the classic D&D undead. I combed through the 5th ed. Monster Manual and "dug up" (pun intended) as many ideas as I could. With that in mind, here are the first few models from the new army. They were a fun dive into the bits box, and gave me chance to try out how I would like to do the bases for the army. Please enjoy. The Crawling Claw This was made from an old bit from the 5th edition Zombies box. The base is an old round shield. Demilich and two Flaming Skulls One is from the older plastic skeletons box and the other two are from the Collegiate Arcane set. The flying stems are from Star Wars Legion. Will-o-wisps These are an example of non-undead that I think might associate with them. They are just made from green stuff.

Sharkbelly Posted August 19, 2021 Author Share Posted August 19, 2021 (edited) I finished converting and updating two older units yesterday. These spirits hosts got new round bases. The Coven Throne gets a new round bases and I tried out a new skin tone on the vampires. Edited August 28, 2021 by Sharkbelly 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharkbelly Posted November 6, 2021 Author Share Posted November 6, 2021 I am happy to have finally finished painting this large fellow, and am pleased with how it turned out. The two heads and weapons are pinned so that I can swap them out. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
