The Headless Horseman

"Their heads were not found severed. Their heads were not found at all."

Monster Mayhem: Calden Keep: Goliath

The thousands of dead in Calden Keep have reanimated in this giant suit of necromantic armour. Glowing with the souls of the slain, the Goliath seeks new victims to increase its power in the real world.

Monster Mayhem: Jötunn Moder

I'm running late with this year's Monster May(hem); by this time last year I'd knocked out three models. But finally here's my first entry in 2023's challenge.

Calden Keep: Wolf of Calden and Accursed Destrier

The Wolf of Calden commanded the final defence of Calden Keep against the peasant uprising. Slaughtered by the enraged citizens, he's risen from the dead to seek vengeance against those who hacked him down.

Calden Keep: Resurrected Goliath

A twisted giant of metal and bone and death and hate, the Resurrected Goliath strides through the ruins of Calden Keep in search of more victims to feed its strength.

Sanctified One

Something something Etsy, something something ooo that's horrible, something something debit card.

Alien: Fate of the Nostromo

We have Amazon to thank for this. 

Zombtober/Apocalypse Me: Zombie Matt

FINALLY I've managed to get a Zombtober and Apocalypse Me entry done. Work really does get in the bloody way of fun.

Monster May(hem): Tomb Tapper

Holy crap, that's one of the best mini photos I've ever taken. Watch me forget to do it next time.

Monster May(hem): Hastur la vista

Of all the Cthulhu: Death May Die minis, Hastur is by far the creepiest. He was also by far the hardest one to paint.

Monster May(hem): Queen of Hell

I have the distinct feeling that this queen doesn't like corgis.

Crimson Herald

Much like the Herald of Razmir, I'm not entirely sure what the Crimson Herald is actually heralding. Is he a proponent of deep red shades? The mascot for a daemonic Blood Bowl team? Advertising a sale at the local Evil Я Us? Whatever he is, it gave me an excuse to whip out the chapel and the door again.

'I admire its purity'

"A survivor, unclouded by conscience, remorse, or delusions of morality. I can't lie to you about your chances... but you have my sympathies."

Cultists of Hastur

I gave up on these guys back at the end of Monster May(hem). I couldn't get Hastur painted right, so I didn't see the point of having a go at his merry band of followers. But then I decided to try something different...

Great Obelisk of C'thulhu

In the middle of a dark, forbidding forest, a stone obelisk has stood for as long as locals can remember. They speak of it in hushed tones and outsiders are advised to keep away from it. But some adventurous types believe there is a copy of the Necronomicon on its base, and have gone in search of the obelisk to secure the tome and its powers. The forest has quietly absorbed them.

Apocalypse Me: An in-tents experience

A couple of zombies stagger past an abandoned tent on a patch of wasteground behind the inevitable convenience store. The decomposing body of its owner lies outside, oblivious to the shambling undead.

Apocalypse Me: The ones that didn't make it

I saw these TTCombat corpses on Amazon in late 2018 and bought them with the same amount of thought a Kentucky meth head gives to stealing car stereos. These chaps have spent almost three years lounging around in the Magical Box of Unloved Lead, and the double whammy of Zombtober and Apocalypse Me is the perfect reason to finally get at least some of them painted.

Zombtober: A quartet of corpses

Calvin gets ready to take out some zedheads who are stinking up the alley behind the convenience store.

Apocalypse Me: Soul survivors

Well it's been five weeks and I'm assuming my Hasslefree survivors have succumbed to a zombie apocalypse in the depths of Caerphilly. Luckily these groovy mofos turned up a couple of days ago and gave me another chance to do some stuff for Dave's Apocalypse Me challenge. Here they are in the usual crappily-lit photos.

Zombtober: Six more shamblers

Another group of crumbling corpses make their way past what's apparently the most popular convenience store in existence.
