The Skull Knights were last mentioned on the special Halloween page.
I went with a scary font and jagged balloons to convey the voices of those whose larynx might be dry and decomposed. The Skull Knights are actually based on Amando de Ossorio's Blind Dead series. even though I used figures from LotR and Army of Darkness and they can see. Don't worry I'm certain Belinda Brandon did at least one movie with de Ossorio's blinded Templars. In the last movie of the series the blinded Templars are depicted worshiping a statue of an amphibious frog like pagan god. A Cthulhu mythos Deep One! That's where I got the idea for the faceless deity that demands the sacrifice of human hearts for the skull knights to feast upon.
By the way if you run across the movies they are worth a watch. It took me years to finally track them down because all I had were some memories of a book on horror movies I had as a kid. They're under lots of different titles s foreign horror often is. Tombs of the Blind Dead, Return of the Blind Dead, The Ghost Galleon and Night of the Seagulls are what they're mostly known as now. And of course undead Templars are a trope in all kinds of games now. Great how digital media can take a creepy idea and just make it another monster to kill.
— Wait Lord Ash? heh, heh. That is a custom Evil Ash figure, but you figure that there is a province in Narthathia called Ashrack – he might be the guy it's named for. Some things are just lost in the mists of time and better left there. As said in Lovecraft's “The Strange Case of Charles Dexter Ward” “Never bring up what you can't put down again.”
I really can't do skeletons because most skeleton figures require too much support to stand and pose. Most of the figures are full bodies with skull heads and flowing robes to hide the fact they're not skeletons. Decomposing guys though are fun conversions and can double as George Romero type zombies.
Great page. Many fantastic elements. The alternate Bruce from Army of Darkness - :) These folks speak directly - a pleasant change. At their level all bull is forgone I suppose.

It's a busy page with tons of amazing details, that make me stop and stare the page to contemplate. Great and effective!

Those Skull knights look rather unpleasant

What's worse, with no lips you can never tell if they're smiling or frowning or laughing or whatever.

I've seen most if not all of the above mentioned movies. Hard to keep track as they some times have multiple titles.
bravo1102 at 2:25AM, July 26, 2018
I ended up getting the boxed set.

I can see a definite logistical advantage to leading an undead army as opposed to keeping a flesh army fed all the time. An army without stomachs!

But they need a steady supply of young women to sacrifice to their faceless god.

An army of Skeletors! :D And Dang! straight to the point, Girl!

Followers of Glorreaka aren't known for their tact and good manners.

Bet those skull knights need a have some horrible coffee breath.

You should watch the ones without throats drink coffee. Habits from life are so hard for the undead to break.
