Dave's Dirge of the Dead

Alas, the Second Old World Army Challenge has come to an end. I have truly enjoyed watching everyone's army grow from humble beginnings into mighty hordes. With two OWAC completed, all we need to do now is schedule a worldwide tournament day and march forth to glory or ignominious defeat!


On that day, ye shall behold KRAVAG'S CAIRN HOST!





Marching in the front ranks, ahead of the shambling masses, is the army general, Kravag the Voracious, and his simpering slave Zaghuul the Necromancer. If you have time, you may familiarize yourself with the tale of the dreadful Vampire Lord himself! On his left and right flanks are the hordes of skittering skeletons, and following in the center are the dreaded skeleton horsemen—now, with a working banner!




The back ranks are dominated by the howling wraiths in the center—three is a small number, but it is a number known for witchery and black hexes. These powerful specters are each as effective as a hero on the battlefield! They are flanked by carrion to one side and the screaming skull catapult to the other, making sure that no enemy troops are safe, no matter where they hide!




I want to give dear thanks to everyone who supplied the heartening comments and constructive criticisms, as well as my fellow OWAC champions. Another year done, another army painted!
