In force, the vanguard of the army of Dirge rises from out the ocean waves to attack the unsuspecting town of Merchant's Reach...
The song of the Plague Cart seems an appropriate title for this month. After doing my obligatory squad of skeletons, I wanted to do some more extras.
Each month I should try to do 2 or 3 zombies and a death rider if I want to finish all the Karr-Kell figures. Did I cherry pick the easier zombies? Yes. But I finished 3 and a Death Rider
Death Rider
Pretty Lady zombie
And Dirge's undead Golden rottweiler
And I also finished the carrion I wanted to repaint to match the Tolkien fluff and my other carrion
AND...the undead war rhino as Plague cart, which turned out to be way easier than I thought. I even dug out the 3 original skeleton riders and painted them up. Still haven't found the catapult, but it's a plague cart so that is OK. I can't believe I got this done after all these decades.
So, points are:
20 Skeleton Unit (20 shields, 10 spears) 230 pts
Carrion 45 pts
Undead Rhino Plague cart 100 pts
3 Zombies 12pts
1 Death Rider light armor 23 pts
Total: 410 pts
That's a lot of rank and file done
(I am spreading the spears pts 10 each to the 3 units because math bites.)
Dirge's skeleton army starts its rise from the ocean floor to attack the town of Merchant's Reach. The plague cart has already claimed its first victims who march with it now as zombies, and there are still many more to come. Her faithful rottweiler marches in the fore, her eyes and ears before she appears. The carrion flies overhead, scouting out the path.
Don't expect this much every month! I do have my main units planned, I just got a lot of extras done this month too!
Next month, I plan to do Dirge the lich on her throne (and palanquin) if things go well. If things go poorly, another unit of skeletons!
