The OnTableTop Spring Clean Challenge is a superb community drive to finish off stalled projects. I didn’t participate in 2022 and I really regretted that as it had a big impact on my ‘Hobby Wellbeing’ for the rest of the year where it was difficult to work up the mojo to fire up a project.

So I made an extra effort to join in on the shenanigans this year! And it has been a blast!

Ever since watching the Lord of the Rings – Return of the King, I have fancied putting together an army of the dead. A ghost army that would glide through opponents cutting them to smithereens!

I picked up a couple of boxes of night haunts a few years back with this intention, but hit a brick wall on the project as I just couldn’t decide on a manageable paint scheme for them. So … they sat in a drawer!

Two other movies also act as a big inspiration for me and that is Jason and the Argonauts and of course the unforgettable Evil Dead 3 – Army of Darkness.

I’m also a bit of a fanboi of the Wargames Atlantic plastics range and had some boxes of skeletons to hand, so my plan of a mix of dry bones and etherial ghosts started to come together!
