Once more into the Frozen City!

The zombies were choice I know. I had a handful of zombie halflings from the max mini random box last year. I thought they have more character than the human size zombies I had planned. Maybe there’s a story there where a group of halflings in the city were attacked recently and near where the current scenario is. I went with lots of browns and greens with these guys.

The skeleton archers are from the oathmark skeleton set. They are lovely miniatures, love thr bronze age axes and helmets. I needed some archers for a scenario. These were great to paint. Really enjoyed it. A little brittle when I was too firm drybrushing the once and reglued it.

The skeleton warriors I’d bought the original mantic skeleton boxes years ago with the intention of doing an undead army that never happened. Frostgrave came out and I saw a need for them again. These are such great minis and so full of character. These minis hold up for me definitely.

The armoured skeleton warriors i had mantic plastic revenant skeletons. I wanted to help myself and make it much easier to signify if they were the standard skelly or armoured skelly. I knw they’d have more armour and and weapons but purple  instead of blue distinguishes them to my eye.

The vampire is one of my old strigoi miniatures from warhammer 6th. I loved the concept of the strigoi as soon as they were released in 6th and bought 2 of the 3 miniatures. My only issue is I didn’t like the metal ghouls then as I’ve said before. But liked how the strigoi story has gone through the editions all the way to the flesh eater courts. But actually loved getting paint on this guy, went with the light grey and am sl happy with how hes turned out. Only been a concept in my head for 25 years lol
