Undead Vault ov Doom

After a bit of chatter over at the ever fantastic Aaronorium blog - found here https://talesfromtheaaronorium.com/2019/01/11/nighthaunt-heroes/ - about shameful storage solutions for our precious mini warriors that we love so much, I thought I'd put the mass grave up that my undead army resides in.........



Look at that beauty. LOOK CLOSE.

Theres at least 28 years worth of undead in there, my most loved........if not looked after........army. All manner of stuff and the only army I've managed to hold on to throughout the years

Two points:

1. This pic was taken after I'd gotten the box out of the deep stasis field the other day and taken out 78 skeletons, 20 wights, 24 ghouls and a plague cart. So its quite light!

2. This is actually the luxury accommodation, as they spent the years 1996-2008 being hauled around in an even shabbier cardboard box with even less protective bubble wrap that holds no bubbles.

Phase them? Nope, these boys were kicking some solid arse on the table, laying waste to all and sundry. Feared, this lot was, truly feared.........not just the laughable paint jobs, which span roughly 1992 - 2010 an’ all.


So, what was I doing getting the ol’ ball and chain out? Well, I've developed an interest in perhaps tidying them up and putting some renewed necromantic love into them, repairing and repainting where needed. Breathe new life, so to speak.

Theres all sorts of stuff in there in varying states. It seems I'd got busy with the dettol at some point (ten years ago, my guess) and for some reason stripped all of the decent paint jobs my teenage self had done, whilst leaving all of the ropey old shite intact. Why? who
 knows??

Nagash is in there somewhere - ask him!

Of course, none of this was on my "2019 list" but thats what always happens, frankly.........

    1. They'll get better storage once I've worked my way through the repainting, so it'll be a transfer. Although, being single based, I need to work out a way of being able to stand them in a case and be stable enough to not fall everywhere every single time its moved or shuffled! :) Perhaps some custom movement trays and magnets may do it. One to consider

  2. Bubble wrap?! That’s practically 5-star accommodation!

    1. Ah, well I don't think theres any actual bubbles left in that wrap haha.

      4 star, say. Having a lid on the box - Now *thats* 5 star!
