One Army per Week: The Undead

Last thursday I posted a photo of my first 8mm undead unit for Dragon Rampant, today I post my first playable 30 points army. Everything printed, based and painted in one week time. I will add some more units like Knights and a Bone Giant and then move on to the next army. You really have to love Forest Dragon and Daniel Mersey for making this possible. So many childhood dreams coming true at once! :)

This might be my last post for 2021. I wish you all a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

It's time for a new kind of madness

Of course... of course I couldn't resist. I purchased those sweet Forest Dragon armies to print their single figures in 15mm. But then I thought how well they would look on a group base, how fast I could built a Dragon Rampant army with them. 

I printed them out in 10mm ranks just like in Warmaster, but I realized they are a pain to paint this way. Also, they only look good in high numbers and for Dragon Rampant you only need 12 per unit. So I ended up in 8mm and based them as singles to make them look more like a warband instead of a huge army. 

I will built 12 man units on two bases of six, so I can take one away when the unit reaches half strength. This way, I can manage a big unit in one evening and a whole army in 10 days or so. Something to consider when you want EVERY army there is... because it's me and my problem. I want it all and I want it now. 

I'm a hopeless case. :D

Anyway, here is the first half of my zombie mob. And you know how it is with the undead... there will be more!
