Welcome to part 2, and the completion of the Host of Hazurbanipal IV! In part 1, I focused on the earlier part of the dynasty. The monarchs of that time are identifiable by their winged helmets and long robes. Over time, these would fall out of fashion - chainmail would be replaced with round scale mail, and pointed or stalked helmets would become the norm. Let's look at the later dynasty, which contains mostly new models...
I recently read the rules for Necropolis for the first time, and was inspired by its grim vision of a dark fantasy world of undead. I love rules for building a warband, so I dug into Necropolis's versatile list of undead characters and was inspired to build a hulking Ascended Undead. In fact the enthusiasm for making something really grim and gribbly caught me, and I bashed this monstrosity together over the course of about two consecutive days.

With a few new additions since I last posted this proect, I thought I'd showcase the entire immortal host of Hazurbanipal IV. Appropriate for a Halloween night, this is a Soulblight Gravelords force made up entirely of skeletons. More pics below the jump...
The Sons of Velmorn from Warhammer Underworlds add some nice variety among the new GW skeleton designs. I painted them up in the colours of my Deathrattle horde and gave them some matching shields. Pics below the jump...
Recently I revisited one of my longest running projects, and one of my favourites to return to: Necrons. Pictures and info on all the new conversions I added below the jump...
Two very different vampire overseers for my Soulblight Gravelords force, adding some much-needed flesh and lots of blood to an otherwise very boney army. Pics and painting process below the jump...
Continuing my skeleton-heavy Soulblight army, here's a unit of converted Grave Guard. Details about the conversion process below the jump.
This year's big project is a Soulblight Gravelords army for Age of Sigmar that's heavy on the skeletons. If you've been following me on Instagram, you'll have seen all my work in progress pictures on there. It's been a while since I posted something on this blog, so here's a bumper post of completed skeleton units of all types. Lots more pics below the jump...
One of my favourite projects is the Necron warband I made for #Kitbashember 2018. In fact I enjoyed making them so much that after making something for each of the #Kitbashember prompts I went right ahead and made another model. At the time I even had a couple more ideas that I never got round to, and finally I've found the time and the right bits to make them work. Here's some new Necrons.
