Baron Kraust's Band of Lost Souls

Well I seem to be turning procrastination into a higher art form! Here's hnother army list instead of some painted minis. This one, however, has had a bit of fleshing out and a back story thought out for it - I'll be lavishing the same treatment on my Orc and Elf armies when I get round to it.

The Baron's army came about as a result of the smattering of chaos minis I had bought on a whim and the remnants of the old Skeleton army box set that were still knocking around in my collection. The Chaos warrior in bone armour (seen posing on the ridge in the pic to the left!) inspired me to join the two forces together - and hopefully save me a bit of money by getting 2 armies for the price of one!

If you missed the Baron first time round here's a little reminder -http://teasgettingcold.blogspot.co.uk/2010/07/disdain-sanity-and-scholarship-loftiest.html

So on with the list - this time I have gone to town a bit with the magic items as it seems to fit in more with the character of the army.

  1. Great figure for the Baron. I also use the model as a necromancer for my undead forces

    1. Nice list. I may have missed it but shouldn't the skeletal champions has magical weapons even just basic no trait ones?

      Do you really have 30 death riders?

  2. Cheers Scotty - great minds obviously think alike!

    You're right Erny - I missed that myself - not that familiar with the Undead.

    I do indeed have 30 death riders - only thing is they're the plastic ones from the skeleton army box set!
