Prototype undead horseman for my Undead Horde of Ezra Dinn project. 3D print. These won’t be one point DR units. They will be two point units! About 25 minutes with Speedpaints mostly, and a lot of that deciding in colours for decaying horse flesh and what to do with the hellish flames on the sword.

Bretwalda takes us to the eight century England, where various kingdoms will be vying for control over the Island. I am presenting here the base Game and all its expansions - this is going to be a great title!

Pant, wheeze. Skeleton archers glued to tuppences and surplus Grenadiers - I paint a few extra and reject the worst to improve the overall standard. Surplus go into the reserve and will used for something, eventually.
