So, I decided to rework some of my necro units, and the first thing I changed was the "Putrid Swordsmen"
Now they look like this (larger image attached)
"Returned at the call of the Necromancers, Putrid Cavaliers are skeletons excellently armed and equipped with the finest armor. They are far stronger than ordinary bone warriors, for their rusty, pus-oozing weapons carry terrible diseases, while sturdy plate reliably protects their weak, fragile bones. Although Putrid Cavaliers are weaker than regular men-at-arms, they furiously charge into the thick of battle, instilling fear and terror in the enemy ranks."
Abilities: Armor, weakening strike, large shield, defense of allies, stun.
I recall that long ago I made Putrid Cavaliers... First on the man-at-arms model, then on the regular skeleton model. And over the weekend I got struck by the urge... to redo them
I added pauldrons and a new sword to them; this isn't the final version yet, still needs work. The design on the shield also needs thought.
