Even if you are not a fan of the preslotta minis from Citadel's Golden Age, you have to appreciate the detail that was added to this necro-esque C19 shaman.  Standing on a severed head, covered in skulls, with a frog wand & lizard familiar, this mini really stands out from the rest of the range.

 These conversions are among the first models destined to be the shaman's undead minions.  There's a mix of C17 skeletons, C27 pygmies, & even a Slann destined for the summoned ranks.  I see several hours of sculpting conquistador helmets in my future...

Zombiefied pygmy post-paint.  The flowers were something I found last summer that seemed to have some Lustrian jungle potential.  I'll likely work them into the rest of the swampy dead group.

 So, these guys have sat in several boxes over the years and were originally supposed to be part of some lost legion for an Undead army.  I really wanted to do something outside of the boring plastic skellies &  tried to give them an ancient quality.
Raised from the earthen floor of the jungle, they retain some of the vegetation & funk that would have grown in over the years.  These were fun, quick projects & I have some now with clingy vines & ferns on the way.
The verdigris is less painterly & more process with multiple shades of pastel chalk.

One of those oddities that I never spent much time with in the '80s, was Citadel's line of C19 Lizardmen.  While I always liked the rough "gatormen" sculpts from Trish Morrison (blame it on being from Florida), the race got scant attention through Warhammer Fantasy Battles 2nd & 3rd ed, so I funneled my efforts into Orcs & Goblins.  By the time 4th rolled around, when GW fell down, hit it's head, & woke up thinking Lizardmen were Slann, I had zero interest in the reworked race & it's Jurassic Park vibe.

Here is the WFB 3rd-themed Army as it presently stands.  A challenge to collect with the present market, but I'm shooting for a well-rounded force with a couple groups of infantry, some archers, cavalry, beast handlers, & Troglodytes.  There is a Tom Meier Black dragon in there as well.  I always loved that mini & it looks like something that could have come out of a deep cave with it's undersized wings.

Not reflected in the pic are a contigent of swampy undead that I'm attaching to the shaman/necromancer.  Lustrian dead guys are just too much fun to miss out on!

This is a test trooper that I rattled out using an airbrush.  Not too shabby & it helped to identify some things I'll change moving forward.  Basic crocodile colors to start, but I plan to mix it up across the force.
Heroes & characters are definitely going to be albinos.
