Inspired
by the Dungeon
Saga Kickstarter I brought out some Mantic figures from the plastics and
metal mountain.
Ten
of these skeletons come from the Skeleton Command sprue and five from the
Undead Revenant sprue. The latter also have 10 figures on the sprue , but I’m not overly fond of
some of them, so they stayed on the sprue for the time being.
Colours
used: Citadel Scab Red, Formula P3 Bootstrap Leather, Humbrol 63 Leather,
Vallejo 034 Bone White, 912 Tan Yellow, 894 Cam. Olive Green, 881 Yellow Green,
921 English Uniform, 886 Green grey, 885 Stone Grey, 863 Gunmetal Grey, 843
Cork Brown and 874 Tan Earth. Everything washed with Army Painter Strong Tone.

Now I will focus more on 20mm WWII Early War. British troops are first in the painting queue.
Finally,
the Heretic
Kickstarter unlocked some more fabulous new minis.
Very nice! I have the beginnings of an Undead army somewhere. If I ever get that back on track, Mantic deadies will have a place in it.
ReplyDeleteI hope you do, I still have a sprue of Skeleton Command and half a sprue of Revenants :-)
DeleteMust take a look at that Heresy kickstarters... I "need" a couple of good Nurgle spawns.
ReplyDeleteThere are some very suitable minis there
DeleteNice work on those skeletal warriors - they would look great attacking Bruce Campbell :)!
ReplyDeleteHehe. If only I had a suitable figure for him...
DeleteThey will for sure see action in my D&D campaign.
