Back to Players' Armies

This is my current army in progress. The whole thing is made from Reaper Miniatures Dark Heaven line, because they are just awesome with the undead.

It's been a while since I checked, but I think I'm aiming for a 5000 point army, which is pretty big for 28mm. I've got 4 units painted with 6 more I know I need to do. I'm still looking for a good looking set of Zombies, though the Ghouls can easily double as Zombies in a pinch.

I've gone with a tarnished copper look for most of the metal in the army. I haven't decided how I will do the bases for the army, I'm thinking of a mix of grey stone and dead grass.

You can really see the tarnished copper look I was going for with these.

Because most of the Undead army is Missile Immune, skeletal bowmen are very powerful in AoA as they can shoot into combat without fear of killing (re-killing?) their own. They also have no fear of return fire from most armies, though artillery and dragon fire can surprise them.

These guys were so pose-able, I don't think any two are posed the same way with the same weapons.

Mummies are nasty, nasty opponents, especially for heavily armored troops. Their disadvantage is slowness, so these are a prime unit for the "Energize Dead" spell. Reaper has many more new mummies that are more ornate than these, but I like how these turned out. The stains are on their wraps, because, you know, how do you launder the blood stains out of a mummy's wraps?
