For those of you who like a story;

"Count Vlad of the Kingdom of Cis'Sylvania travels the countryside to recruit the recently deceased for his army of the undead, in this case a local cemetery is the perfect site for black magic, and soon the zombies emerge from the earth and join the ranks of his forces."

The coach contains a casket (of course) and the zombies are armed with improvised weapons and shields for the most part. The style is a bit Warhammer-inspired, but the ideas are mostly mine. (This is supposed to resemble a war-game, so all figures, and scenery have a collectible mini-figures display base)

I know it's mostly mini-figures, but the coach took a good 10 hours to build, let me know what you think.

Impressive army of minions!

The carriage with the casket and the flagbearer are awesome. I like the high level of detail you put into this work!

"Warhammeresque" hits the nail on the head.

Advice from Orc-army builder- Use diferent head for skellies to make more variety. May I suggest some Fantasy era skeletons heads?

"All gold skeleton" looks so epic!

A really nice collection for an undead horde. I added a deeplink to your post too. Check out our Tutorial index on how to deeplink pictures into your posts as well.

Very neat MOC Sirens-Of-Titan! Aside from your skeleton army, it is worth noting your custom-built carriage. Nice work on this one!

Warhammeresque indeed. nice use of the mummy pieces. I definitely need to get some mummy minifigs from PQ to supplement my skeleton army.

Thank you for the comments guy, and thank you I Scream Clone for deep-linking the picture,

I used conventional skeleton heads because the castle ones seem a bit cartoony and I wanted to portray these as actual long-dead skeleton warriors. I wonder whether or not I should build a whole diorama based around a similar concept, but it's not too festive so I probably should leave it for after the holidays
