All the undeads. All of them! I don't quite know if this counts as an entry as per the challenge outline, but there was no way I could not include this massive contribution to the deadcember theme!
17) Chris Kellahan
I'm starting to think that he, Zero Twentythree, and Alex are actually necromancers themselves, the number of undead they are

Because Deadcember would be incomplete without TWO undead mammoths!
19) Iain Harrison
Leesh/litch/leetch? Who cares when they look like this!

22) Thomas Zero Twentythree
He's back again! This time with Maurice Dellamorte and his undead commandoes...

...and an undead owlbear! That would really freak out my D&D group!

Lots of great entries!
ReplyDeleteThe Shadespyre minis in entry 20 may not be old, but they are still fantastic! Very nice sculpts and painting! I'm particularly fond of nos. 1 & 13 too.
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff all around. Looking forward to seeing a few more entries before the month ends.
I'd hoped to reach thirty entries, but the quality is so high that seems downright churlish of me!
DeleteEveryone who's entry was better than mine should be disqualified for reasons. 😂
ReplyDeleteSeems reasonable :)
DeleteFantastic set of entries, kicking myself now that I didn't submit my dragon.. Oh well, there's always next year, amd good luck to all the participants!
ReplyDeleteThe pale one? Yes, you should have entered! I'll hold you to next year :)
DeleteAll fantastic. Well done you lot!
ReplyDeleteThey really are good, aren't they!
DeleteHi, thanks for the inclusion. I have just got back into the hobby this year after nearly 25 years. Deadcember was a great motivation to give some TCL to poor old models which had been gathering dust for years. Really enjoyed it!
ReplyDeleteThank YOU for entering, and I'm glad you enjoyed doing so.
DeleteSome lovely stuff on display. Amongst my favourites are Ivan's restoration job, Matt's mammoth and Germinal's Death Spirit. It's gonna be tough calling a winner!
ReplyDeleteVery tough indeed!
DeleteYes, it's proving quite popular.
ReplyDeleteI like them all very much, but I think the best by far is the Ral Partha Necromancer. I should give all the prizes to that clever Gareth fellow who painted him.
ReplyDeleteI see you found how to do "Anonymous" posting... ;)
