The Nightmare Before Sigmar - Pre Slotta Undead

Another post of Pre Slotta classic minis!
This time we have some Fantasy Tribes Skeletons here for your perusal, Citadel Code C17.
And Wraiths, also from the olde Fantasy Tribes line and are Citadel Coded C18.

Shiver me bones!  Here they are in all their skull and bones glory.

Boys and girls of every age
Wouldn't you like to see something strange?
Come with us and you will see
This, our town of Halloween

The Wraith in the middle is called "The Lord of Darkness"
I really like the wraith on the right with the embossed shield.
There are a bunch more of these solid based Wraiths that Im missing.
But as with all things Oldhammer, if you dont have them already they are either too hard to find or too expensively priced.
Which makes me cherish these three Wraiths that I do have.


This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Pumpkins scream in the dead of night
This is Halloween, everybody make a scene
Trick or treat till the neighbors die of fright
It's our town, everybody scream
In this town of Halloween

The fella 2nd from the left is an Undead King, hence the rusty crown on his skull.
I like his "scary hands" pose.
I can almost hear his ghostly boo.

I am the one hiding under your bed
Teeth ground sharp and eyes glowing red
I am the one hiding under your stairs
Fingers like snakes and spiders in my hair

 The fella 2nd from the right, I cant find in the catalogs, but I assume he is another Undead King because of his crown.
And I dont know what he is doing with his hands.
I think that he thinks he is a mime.
Oh I get it, your are trapped in a box... I hate mimes, they just arent entertaining at all.


I am the clown with the tear-away face
Here in a flash and gone without a trace!
I am the "who" when you call, "Who's there?"
I am the wind blowing through your hair

 I know some folks say the Pre Slottas are too small and too crude.
But they are the acquired taste, methinks.
Charm is in the Eye of the Beholder, afterall.

Skeleton Jack might catch you in the back
And scream like a banshee
Make you jump out of your skin
This is Halloween, everyone scream
Wont' ya please make way for a very special guy

Our man Jack is King of the Pumpkin patch
Everyone hail to the Pumpkin King!
This is Halloween, this is Halloween
Halloween! Halloween! Halloween! Halloween!

 We hope you enjoyed The Nightmare Before Sigmar.
We now return you to your regularly scheduled programming...

In the next post we got some reinforcements for the "good" side.

WINTER IS COMING!!!
And if that isnt enough...
IN THE MOUTH OF MADNESS!!!

What am I on about?  Tune in next post, true believers.

Cheers,

Springtime For Sauron! Plus Classic-Hammer Ogres & Trolls

 Buddies!
This post has reached a milestone.
Sauron himself has finally made it to the blog!
Lets hear it for the Dark Lord folks...


♩ ♪ ♫ ♬ Springtime for Sauron and Ered Lithui
Barad-Dur is happy and gay
We're marching to a faster pace
Look out, here comes the Orc-ish race!

Springtime for Sauron and Ered Lithui
The Dark Lands are a fine land once more!
Springtime for Sauron and Ered Lithui
Watch out, Gondor... we're going on tour! ♩ ♪ ♫ ♬

Rolf:  I was born in Goblindorf and that is why they call me Rolf

Mel: Dont be stupid, be a smarty, come and join the Nazgul Party!

Here is the Dark Lord of Mordor!
He sits upon his throne and broods in the Tower of Barad Dur - the Dark Tower.
That throne reminds me of Harry Potter (I forget which one) where a bas-relief sculpture shows the oppressed muggles suffering under the glory of the wizarding elite.
Look, every Dark Lord needs suffering souls for orthopedic support.

Sauron calls for his trusted lieutenants.
Mounted Ring Wraith and the Mouth of Sauron.

Sauron:  Raise some elite troops of Mordor to serve as my personal travelling Household Guard!
 
Mouth of Sauron:  Which troops are those, Mi'lord?
 
Sauron:  Surprise me!
 
Mouth of Sauron: And where are you planning to go exactly?
 
Sauron:  I think I will go stretch my legs... up north.  
 
Mouth of Sauron:  This isnt Sparta and you dont need to go to war yourself, Mi'lord.  You got plenty of generals out there right now!
 
Sauron:  Oh dont be a spoil-sport!  Whats the use of being the Dark Lord if I cant have any fun?  Now go!

So off the lieutenants go to find some elite troops worthy of being a bodyguard for the Dark Lord...

Oh, here is the mandatory Citadel Code:  ME-61  Sauron - The Dark Lord

I debated basing him with green grass and such, but in the end I sculpted some ruined and evil-looking tile work for him.

I figure that even if he is out and about, that the land around him will wither and die, and form into ruined slabs of non-euclidean geometric patterns (which allows Blink Dogs of Tindalos to hop in from the Other dimension).

The Mouth of Sauron finds some Classic 90s Citadel Rock Trolls!

While I do love C Series Trolls, I love the 90s ones just as much.
That Troll on the right is in deep thought.
Should I throw rock?  Or eat it?

They are truly goofy looking and loveable.
Dont you just want to tickle their pot bellies!

The Ring Wraith finds some Classic 90s Ogres!

These guys are just brimming with character... mean character!

And the essential bladed chainmail gauntlet!
Who doesnt love that?

So there is the post!
And where is Sauron going and why?
Stay tuned to find out!
But in the meantime, in the next post we got more Pre Slotta minis, this time its Citadel - Fantasy Tribes Undead!
