Dead Man's Party, Murkillor the Wraith Returns!

 Murkillor the Wraith is back, baby! And he's got a dead man's party with him. This is how the Undead want to unlive. So this is how they will unlife.

I'm all dressed up with nowhere to go
Walkin' with a dead man over my shoulder
Waiting for an invitation to arrive
Goin' to a party where no one's still alive

Don't run away, it's only me
Don't be afraid of what you can't see

I was struck by lighting, walkin' down the street
I was hit by something last night in my sleep
It's a dead man's party, who could ask for more
Everybody's comin', leave your body at the door
Leave your body and soul at the door

 Well I live with snakes and lizards
And other things that go bump in the night
'Cause to me everyday is Halloween
I have given up hiding and started to fight

 

Oh, why can't I live a life for me?
Why should I take the abuse that's served?
Why can't they see they're just like me?
It's the same, it's the same in the whole wide world

 

Left to Right: Nyxa the Basilisk, Murkillor the Wraith

Murkillor has been reborn into his former... form. No longer is he that ghastly plastic Night Haunt mini, he is once again a metal mini from the ever-enduring and readily-reliable Reaper Miniatures. I think this is the 3rd time Ive owned this figure over the years. I always thought it was a Bob Olley sculpt, but he is actually a Bob Ridolfi figure. And next to Murkillor is Nyxa - a beauty of a basilisk. This basilisk IS an Olley sculpt.

Murkillor: I told you I would be back. You cant keep a good wraith down.

Nyxa the Basilisk: Grrrr...

 

Left to Right: Calibog the Marsh Troll, Korbar the Liche

Calibog is a Marsh Troll and feeds on marsh fish. He likes his sushi fresh - raw and wriggling. Korbar the Liche is the right hand counsellor of Murkillor and helps to supply his armies with more undead troops by raising the dead wherever they go. Korbar loves it when they pass a cemetery. Mmmm, fresh victims for the ever growing army of the undead.

And here is a trio of Barrow Wights ready to haunt your neighborhood moor.

Wights may not be Wraith level threats. If Wraiths are generals, then Wights are more like lieutenants in the army of the undead.

Left to Right: Vourgha the Night Ogre, Calibog the Marsh Troll

Ogre and Troll buddies. Two pals having a little reunion.

Vourgha the Night Ogre: Gruuuu....

Calibog the Marsh Troll: Garrrr....

Left to Right: Toby the Necromancer, Korbar the Liche

Toby the Necromancer: So I ask this cultist if he is human, and he shakes his head and says negative Im a meat popsicle.

Necromancer and Liche trading tips and raising the dead.

Korbar the Liche: People ask me, whats the best way to use the Raise Undead spell! I tell em... its all basic maths. I knows my gazintas.

Toby the Necromancer: Gazintas?

Korbar the Liche: 2 gazintas 4, 2 times. 3 gazintas 9, 3 times.

Toby the Necromancer: -.-

The Wights once had a world tour and passed by Rohan and met the locals. But found them to be less than enthusiastic.

Cosette the Paladin: Begone foul dwimmerlaiks!

Wight: Rohan is a nice place to visit, but I wouldnt want to live here. Or unlive here? You know what I mean!

Left to Right: Nyxa the Basilisk, Shrub Beard, Aly Greenleaf

A few years ago, Aly and Shrub Beard were traveling together in Rhun and came upon a basilisk...

Aly: Oh! Look Shrub Beard, its a basilisk! Hello sweetie! And what a nice lovely purple hue you got there!

Nyxa the Basilisk: Garrr....

Aly: Oh, and what a lovely row of sharp poisonous spikes you have across your back!

Nyxa the Basilisk: Garrr....

Shrub Beard: AhhhhhHooooommmmmRooooTuuuuuumm...(Entish to English translation: Aly, whatever you do, dont look into its eyes...)

Aly: _____

Shrub Beard: *sighs*

Nyxa the Basilisk: Hyuk, hyuk, hyuk...

So there is the latest installment of figures from Reaper. They are oldies but goodies. And its nice to have them back in my growing collection... again. Im busy commission painting at the moment. But on my spare time, I will work up some energy and have a battle report soon-ish.

Cheers,
