It's a strange time in history to begin a new 8th Edition army, but I just couldn't help myself. I'm sorry but I can't work out how to show images in this post. I made an Imgur gallery for it, here it is: imgur.com/a/NiXfT0AThe Black Knights have so many pieces left on the sprue after making the Hexwraiths that you can just about make them too. I had many spare Wood Elf banners that I cut up to make flowing drapery from under their barding. I think that suits their Spectral Steeds rule of ethereal movement too coincidentally. The horse heads were left over from Wild Rider conversions long ago. The three Necromancers are the choices of riders from the High Elf dragon kit. I had painted it as a Forest Dragon and used a Wood Elf mount so they were left unused. They didn't have standing legs so I badly made some robes out of modelling clay. A little bit of bitzing and I think that the sculpts really lent themselves to being painted as Vampire Counts. I love the extra creative challenge of Poorhammer and kitbashing. I would love to hear your feedback and opinions. Thanks for looking, Citizen.

They look great! I keep thinking, that any minute, one of them is heading back in a grave due to a failed dangerous terrain test.....

welcome to the fold! since you put your pictures on imgur you are already most of the way to having pics show up here. when you look at a pic on imgur it'll give you a variety of links on the right. just copy the BB code one into a post on here. Try it. The floating black knights are really creative!

I went and bought the older Skeleton horses en masse for super cheap off eBay. It took me like 4 boxes to run out of them for Hexwraiths.

Thank you Naitsabes for the tute. That was easy. And thanks everyone for your feedback. mottdon; luckily they are ethereal so no DTT (to be pedantic). I remember you from Asrai.org too. Good idea midnightfox0083. The headstones and rectangle bases are cheap off Ebay. thekeep I had to look up what that meant and it took a while to remember it from my childhood. The gif of the floating horses is apt.

Thanks strutsagget! Mottdon, I just recognised your name, I was obsessed with that site back in the day. You must have been prolific there too, especially sharing painting photos.
