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.

  3. Really excellent set of miniatures. I like the Pygmy as well, great detail and base. The glowing eyes and rusty armour on the skeletons are very impressive. Look forward to seeing more.
