Saga Undead Vikings
The basing
I started with some Army Painter Black Battleground flock and some brown Woodland floor flock (can’t remember the seller.). Black flock at the back half and brown at the front.
I used some green sponge pieces as shrubs and dotted on pink and white paint as flowers.
I bought some rubbish tufts ages ago. I cut them up because they were too big. The tufts were an ugly unnatural looking bottle green, but I added a Deathguard Green highlight to the top of the grass blades to improve the look. Then I painted the grass tuft at the rear of the base in black.
This was meant to represent the poisonous, life draining effect that reanimated corpses had on plants as they shambled through the countryside.
The only problem is a lack of contrast on the black grass and it gets lost in the shadows. I think I will highlight the tips of grass with silver paint. I think it will look more other worldly, perhaps frosty, like in horror movies where the warmth is sucked from a room in the presence of evil.
