This Time It's Wraiths

The Elite of the Mantic undead, the wraiths. Very nice resin models. One of them had a bent scythe but it was easily straightened by a touch of hot blood.

As regular readers of this column kno, I have wonky colour vision which can cause issues. I am reliably informed that this lot look like a crack undead unit of interior decorators.

Coool!

Evil On The March

Finished my first unit of Mantic Undead: Skeleton men at arms.

These are really nice models and at a very competitive price compared to the Evil Empire. I bought a small army of fifty models for £30.

A free set of rules was included plus I downloaded a free army list off the internet, Mantic Games website, for my Nexus 7 tablet.

This word 'free' may confuse wargamers used to the Evil Empire. I recommend the Oxford English Dictionary for a full explanation but essentially it is something for which you do not pay, not even a little bit let alone a lot.

I used the 'Army Painter Dip' method to weather and varnish the models, except that I don't dip, I use a brush.

Acrylic paints except for the metalic 'red' (purple because of the undercoat), which was a Humbrol enamel (Sunset Red).
