  • The masquerade of murder returns! A new game of Vampires Amongst Us has begun. Unmask the killers, trust no one, and try to survive the night. Find out more and sign up now!
Welcome to the next instance of Turning the World to Darkness competition!

In the Turning the World to Darkness we pick a different theme each time, and the goal is to represent the theme or find ways to turn it to the ways of undead!

The theme of this competition, as chosen by Unas the slayer, the winner of the February/March 2023 competition, is "Mindless". 🧟‍♂️

It's time to lose your mind and go crazy with the...less [UWSL]conscious undead![/UWSL]
You are also encouraged to use models or parts from whatever army you feel like, not restricted to undead only. It could be a single model or a whole unit of them, of all scales and sizes.

Original models (sculpts) and conversions are allowed.

The Prize: The winner earns the glory and a place in the Hall of Infamy thread and a forum medal once they are available. The winner also gets to select the theme of the next painting challenge (note that the winner only has a weekend to present the decision, so please be prepared and available).

  • All miniatures presented must have been painted by the entrant.
  • Max one entry per person.
  • Max 3 images per entry (including pictures in collages), of reasonable size.

Hm, I'm afraid I don't have any zombies in the pipeline... I could maybe do a construct for a Frostgrave Enchanter, though.

Understandable.
Zombies are the obvious pick, but i don’t have any.
Skellies are fine, but probably i'll go for a construct.
Sooner or later ToW will arrive, and i still have some TK in unopened boxes!

Alternatively, i already have dire wolves... seem enough mindless
 
The Ghoul Knight
Ser Thostos of the Free City of Thunderholm was a proud and honorable knight when he met the Lady Seraphine. Utterly enraptured by her charm and beauty he became her devoted servant for many years. To his horror he eventually learned Seraphine's true nature as a Vampire. Betraying her trust he denounced her to the citizens of Thunderholm and attempted to kill her.

Though young and talented with the blade, Ser Thostos failed to kill Seraphine, who in turn struck him down and raised him as her ghoulish Knight Herald. Ser Thostos was trapped, unable to resist Lady Seraphine's commands. He is now forced to do her bidding, to herald the coming of Lady Seraphine and terrorize her enemies. In his undead state, Ser Thostos longs for the release of death, to escape Lady Seraphine's hold once and for all.

That's it. If you need more time, just PM Raven Torrid ☺️

I have an idea, as mentioned, but still haven't managed to start anything due to other projects and life in general. Now, if someone else needed an extension to finish something, there's no guarantee I would even get anything done, but there is a chance... 😉😁

Would a one or two week extension work, if allowed by Raven Torrid ? I know I could use it ! 😅
 
While I ummed and aww'd, I decided:

My entry will be....

DEADWALKER ZOMBIE HORDE
My god Gederas! This is amazing! You are my winner already :)
