One blister of armoured skeletons and one of unarmoured. Perfect for Frostgrave encounters.

Yes very nicely painted the rusted armour is well done, the BTD stuff is still great looking stuff.
Cheers. *** check out BTD I think they have a 24 hour 40% going on now.:D

Argh! Dreaded doubles again.

Very nicely done but I never understood the undead having "undead like" Shield decorations. Do the skeletons really care what their shields look like? Wouldn't they just have the shields that were in their graves? Probably all rotten and rusted.

Do they sit around and go…"You know, we'd be a lot scarier if we all had lots of skulls on our shields" and then get out the carving tools.

@leidang, that is a Liche or necromancer thing. The one who raises them gives them that look ;-)
Cheers guys,

I like the completely rusted armor. It looks good. On my own undead I only went for slightly rusty armor. Now I want some painted like yours. How did you get the effect?

As for undead shield designs, for my 6th ed WHFB Undead army, I used some extra shields and transfers from other WHFB armies. When playing an opponent with that army I'd put the appropriate figures in the front of the units for "intimidation" purposes. "Look what happened to the last Bretonnian army my undead fought."

Great work, rust is the new black!

@Ancestral Hamster, I used Vallejo Model Color's Bronze, Vallejo Model Wash Lavis Oxyde, Vallejo Earth & Oxide pigment and Vallejo verdigris glaze, in that order.
Cheers,

@blacksmith: Thanks for the recipe.
