They've turned out to be a longer project than I anticipated, but then again, I do work extremely slowly. And I try to do too many things.
So perhaps I should have done a bit more anticipating. Ah well!
I've also just plain had trouble choosing a color scheme for them. But heck, they're pirates! They should be colorful and wild, right?
I haven't forgotten about my little skeletons! These one's are a bit buffer, all armed with two handed weapons and so on. My thinking was to use them as counts-as wights. Got to have a few of those guys, right?
I've still got some more of these undead figures, enough to make another couple units, I think, but I'm taking a break for now.
I got some paint down on my first Empire of Dust ship, the little guy from the starter set:
Just a little guy, hanging out in the skeleton seas (couch cushion)
I said I was more excited about this post, and I am! Because I have painted several dwarf ships for Armada:
The dwarf ships are fairly simple and fun to paint, which is of course a bonus for someone like me, who is not the best at painting. These ones I mainly painted in metallic colors, bronze, silver and copper, with purple for a bit of variety. Purple doesn't seem to be a color people associate with dwarfs, but perhaps it should be. I mean, I like it.
I've managed to get a hold of the rules, and a few Empire of Dust ships too, so I'm hoping to try out a little game soon.
Here's the next unit, ready to do their duty as skeletons holdin' spears.
Not much exciting to say about these guys, the sculpts aren't too varied but they work for a regiment of spears. I'm a bit more excited about the next few posts.
As promised, I put together another little unit!
These fellows are armed with a whole bunch of weapons: swords, axes, picks, etc. But since they all have shields I figured they could work well as the basic skeleton warriors.
Why are they ghostly skeletons? That's something I'm still working out. Perhaps for next time.
Well, it's been a bit again. Life! It's a mess
I've had time to work on another little project, though. Picked up some little undead guys for a nice price, and I've started working on very simple displays with them. Far from fancy, but it's been fun to try out.. Here's one!
Meant for kings of war, of course! I figure these guys can serve as skeleton archers, and I've got a couple more units in the works! I might just end up with a little playable skeleton army. The scale is smaller than mantics, of course, so maybe they could just be undead halflings.
