Mage Knight Rattletails Refurbished

Nice work, Bill. I am a huge fan of Mage Knight figures. Sadly, they are hard to find, and their prices are ever-rising.

MK made some figures which I've never seen elsewhere, by any company. Once example is their Zombie Centaurs. They were armed with a big hammer/maul, but other than that, they were excellent figures. I bought around 20 of them, to use as a unit in my 2e BattleSystem games. Unfortunately, I sold them off, and now I cannot find enough to reconstitute the Unit.

In my game world, I figure everyone burns their dead, to prevent them from rising as undead! For this reason, Necromancers need to get creative: either raise an army, on the battlefield (what I wanted the Zombie Centaurs for), or breed them (I have a number of dog zombies I picked up from another game, in the proper scale). Dogs were considered work animals, in medieval times, rather than pets. No reason a dog breeder would raise any eyebrows selling off his animals, and raising more.

I recently converted a MK chariot which had a Dwarf driver up front. I added steps ("a box"), to allow my smaller dwarf figures to see over the railing on it, in the back. I just applied The Dip to the chariot, inserted the box, and glued the painted riders into the box area, gluing the chariot to a base. Super fast, looks decent, and it will be a hoot to game with!

I really wish MK was still producing mini's. The Hero-click mini's are sometimes useful, but not so many are applicable to my fantasy games. I recently converted two Giganta figures into female Storm Giants, painting their flesh purple, and re-basing them, of course. They look fantastic. Need to get them onto the table, to kick some evil booty. Cheers!
