Kings of War Slow Grow 2

First a little PSA.  This is a trying time for everyone right now.  We'll be feeling the effects of this pandemic for a while to come.  So to anyone reading this stay safe, stay strong and don't be the dick head who panic buys all the food at the supermarket (seriously if this is you, then you are a cunt).  Well that's the grim shit out the way and now on to the minis.

So here is what I finished in February.  I know it's a bit late in me getting this up, I really need to get back into the habbit of blogging.

First up I have a horde of zombies.  I've made them swarming out of the cemetery gates.  I've gone with a real mix of colours on the clothes.  I didn't want to make them uniform, realistically they'd be peasants, and from a variety of military units.

Next up is a regiment of revenants.  This unit is a significantly lighter unit than my other revenant unit (these are plastic).  I've decided they would be more regimented, hence why they are more uniform.  I wanted to show that these were elite, well elite for undead.

Next is a troop of wraiths.  Unlike the rest of the army I had to glue these to the base before I flocked them.  They wouldn't look right otherwise.  I bought the first issue of that Age of Sigmar partworks just to get these guys on the cheap, the Stormcast dudes got turned into stone golems for D&D, because I have no intention to play Age of Sigmar.

I missed these guys out of the group shot because I'm an idiot.  This is a regiment of skeleton spearmen.  I've gone for a mix of colours again.  I like to think they were risen from a mass grave from an ancient battlefield.  Besides who says undead armies don't have to be dark.

The army as it currently stands.  For March I'm doing some hammers.  I've got a regiment of revenant cavalry, a goreblight and a necromancer in the works.

Kings of War Slow Grow 1

Back in December I signed up for the Blackjack Legacy Slow Grow Kings of War army challenge.  The aim of the challenge is paint up 250 points of an army a month for 8 months.  The idea is to have a 2000 point army by the end of August.  Keeping this in mind I decided on Undead (If you've followed the blog for  a while now this wont be a shock to you).  A lot of my old undead stuff is in need of a bit of TLC so new paint jobs all round.  It also falls into my new years resolution of buy less play more.  My undead havent left their case in so long, time to get them back on the field.

I don't have the third edition book yet, but this is approaching 500 points worth.

So far I've got a regiment of revenants, 2 troops of ghouls, a vampire lord and an undead army standard.  Which is a decent start.  There's a prevailing green theme here.  I figured that the revenants would be the personal guard to the vampire lord and would be attired appropriately.  The ghouls are wearing different coloured rags, which is going to be replicated throughout the skeletons and zombies.  I've also gone for a graveyard theme in the multibases to help theme everything too.  Everything show here is a mixture of Games Workshop, Mantic Games and Heresy Miniatures.

For February I plan to do a regiment of skeleton spearmen and a troop of wraiths.
