Ben's Stirland Undead - OWAC VIII - Month 1 (Rank and File)

I decided I needed to be as organised as possible for this project, so I first primed all the models and then painted and drybrushed every base, to give me a head-start in the upcoming months.  I intend to add some flock/clumps to them all in one go at the end.  

Then I made my start proper with the vampire thralls (Westwind Vampire Clan), and transfixed town militia (Foundry ex-Citadel Mercenaries/Heroquest Henchmen), that together will represent a bunch of  Zombies.

I'm really enjoying painting the green and yellow scheme of Stirland, and a suitable Empire banner - unfortunately, neither victory nor death but undeath is the fate of these unlucky troops.

A couple of minor conversions here - replacing the gun from one of the thralls with a flagellant's bell, and adding feathers from Anvil Industry to the hats of a few of the militia to 'Empire' them up.

More troops for the back ranks

Here's the full unit - several sets of twins in this town (I accidentally ordered two of the same pack of mercenaries...).

As a treat after painting all those slashed clothes, I painted a corpse cart / chariot (Dark Art Studios Death Cart) which was much easier going, and decorated it with a few checks and flames.

This brought my total so far to 174 pts:

    22 Zombies, standard, musician - 96 pts (one a test model with a new shield and feather)

    Undead Chariot, scythed wheels - 78 pts (note shield repurposed as base decoration...)

Here is my tribute, which hopefully will prove suitable to join Laurent's Slaanesh horde.  He's a C35 Chaos Warrior 'Count Metalmane' that I got amongst a random bunch of models.  Unfortunately he had a missing head, but I took this as an opportunity to grant him the reward of the head of a Slaanesh Fiend.  Just don't ask how he gets his chainmail shirt off.
