Another 8 ready for dipping


19 more to go...



...and the 30 more I ordered yesterday when they turn up!

All (currently assembled) zombies ready for dipping:



I also put together a 2nd balefire catapult this afternoon and the set of metal hero figures. Not great quality but they'll do for the price they were


I'll have a major dipping session for the zombies at some point...maybe even this evening.

Do you need dogs to help with that? Sounds difficult to me.
"Come by! Zombie ungawa, come by!"

65 dipped zombies, no dogs required

Looks like you are making decent progress with those.

Glad to see that you have found a good use for the models. I hate to think of armies being sat on the shelf un-used!!

Thank you for starting off my undead horde!

Zombies all based and ready for varnishing. Will then take proper pictures

Very nice, your fecundity knows no bounds.

OK, here we go.

Mantic zombies on their own


And mixed in with the GW ones

I Truckin love those zombies.. mantic made me a convert with them... its nice to see them painted up.

I've been assembling some of the Mantic stuff and spraying other units up. Here's the restic Revenant Cavalry:


And everything I've currently got out on the go:


I'm working on a skeleton regiment next:


I did one complete model to show what it looks like before dipping. Since the picture I painted the shield rim silver but otherwise this should show how basic the paint job needs to be. I did do a little highlighting on the shield, just so see what it would turn out like:



The bone is left with the white undercoat. I'll see post-dipping if things like teeth need touching up with white.

Looks nice, the Mantic minis really have nice detail on them.
Should look great once the skeleton is dipped.

Holy speed army Mattman, good stuff

I quite like the King and the Standard, it's the Necromancers that are a bit on the dodgy side IMO (especially that flying one - how not to produce a convenient sculpt!)

10 down and ready for dipping, 10 to go (fingers crossed tomorrow night)

Skeleton regiment ready for dipping


I also re-painted (base colours only) a necromancer model from the vampire counts army ready for dipping


And some old models will also get dipped


And some skeleton rats (dogs?)


All dipped. Will base them and spray them up tomorrow evening.



Will probably do the Revenant regiment next (foot, not cavalry yet)

Looking good.
