First New Fantasy Army (For a While...)
It has been about a year since I seriously started to paint again and about 7 months since I started this blog. Since then I have painted 278 miniatures. Mostly figures for three fantasy armies: Undead, Chaos & Fae. All of which were new armies for me. First up was the Undead army. The Chaos & Fae armies have already been covered in other blog posts so I won't cover these here.

Undead Army

| The Undead Horde in all its decaying glory |
As I got back into painting last year. It started with the classic (Oldhammer) Lord of the Rings Barrow Wight and sort of grew from there. It is difficult put a points value on this type of army as a level 5 Vampire (WFB 3rd Ed.) costs 330 points. But I can easily build 1000 to 2000 points. It is bit unbalanced as an army but fun to paint and I will probably add a few units to balance it out. Notably cavalry and a few more skeletons.
This army sort of
got overtaken by the chaos army. They started as an allied contingent and then overtook the undead.

Nice work. I do like the figures Folorn Hope are getting back into production... Nick Lund is probably my favourite sculptor.
