Avatars Of War Raise A New Army Of The Undead
April 7, 2021 by brennon
Avatars Of War are getting necromantic this week with the addition of new Undead miniatures to their Fantasy collection. Wights, Wraiths and rattling Skeletons have been summoned from their graves to threaten the mortal world.
Wight Lord // Avatars Of War
First up, we have a pair of Wight Lords. The first of them is very much a call back to the mighty Krell from Warhammer Fantasy Battles. With that horned helmet and massive axe, this is most certainly an ancient warrior who has been resurrected by a cunning necromancer to be their undying servant.
That fellow isn't the only of the Wight Lords you can choose from. You might also like this fellow who has fully embraced the silly hat look. Those are some serious bat wings which Lloyd would sheer off immediately.

I do like the amount of depth that we're seeing in these models. There are plenty of hollow spaces within the armour which I think would be fun to fill with glow effects to show the magic powering their bodies.
If you're looking to add in some more terrifying elements to your army then how about these Wraiths? This one is very much going down the Cairn Wraith route and could well be a summoned servant who drifts through enemy units scything their souls away.
Wraith // Avatars Of War
You've also got this Wraith to choose from as well! This Wraith is giving me Banshee vibes and I think it would look brilliant when painted up with green/blue balefire flowing from those empty eye sockets.

Whilst a lot of folks are going to use these for the likes of The 9th Age and such, I think these would work pretty seamlessly with the Death armies of Age Of Sigmar. There's no reason why you couldn't do both or maybe even throw these into a Fantasy army for the myriad of other games out there right now.
The last set of releases is a pack of Skeleton Warriors. The posing here is on point and I love the fact that you've got shattered skulls, broken bones, twisted weapons and more. They are still rocking the bat wings and such but if you're looking for a pack of champions to lead a unit, this might work.
Skeleton Warriors// Avatars Of War
All of these miniatures are cast in high-quality resin and come in around the 28mm scale. You could also probably use them in games around the 32mm level thanks to the heroic proportions of the range. Additionally, Avatars Of War are running Skeleton Week where you can save 30% off their Undead range. Maybe this is a good time to start a new warband?
What do you make of these new undead miniatures?

Now these are some truly awesome skellies, I think i will at least get the first Wight Lord.
Wight Lord #1 looks bored. Wight Lord #2 is fed up with telling you to clean up your room, Wraith #1 is dodging the Lords, Wraith #2 is laughing at you and your Skeleton Warriors friends try to duck to not be targeted by Wight Lord #2.
Those look really good.
The bones on those skeletons look really well defined in these photos, especially if they really are 28mm (and not actually 30mm or 32mm or 35mm) and the ribs are actually separate from each other on at least one of the skeleton miniatures, which i think is the first time i’ve seen that at this scale.
Pull my finger…
Also, the skeleton poses are a bit too wonky for my tastes. Nothing worse for a skellie than rickets.
Fabulous looking figures for unread army’s
Amazing models, as usual – but too scary for me 🙁
