Well, it's been a long, long time. I'll dust off the cobwebs with a photo of something I've finished recently, an undead giant.
Freshly Awakened

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!
Finally! Someone older than me! 
The legend that is @Mr Saturday, always love your models and this is no exception! What range is it from?
Just everything about it is superb, the realistic-looking bone, rusty cleaver and armour. Great work. Don't suppose I could somehow convince you to tell us or write a tutorial on how you achieve those?

Hello! It's fun to be back. It's from Macrocosm Miniatures, though I've added armour to the arms and shoulder, as well as the vulture.
The bone is Foundry Boneyerd 9A, Agrax Earthshade, then layered with 9A and then Boneyard 9B and then 9C. Maybe a recess wash of GW Skeleton Horder contrast if needs be. The metal is GW Chainmail or Ironbreaker, Nuln oil wash, then a wash of 50:50 Mechrire Red: Lahmian Medium, then a wash of 50:50 Macharius Solar Orange:Lahmian Medium for fresher rust. Drybrush with GW Stormhost Silver. Finally blend some Typhus Corrosion into recesses here and there to represent filth, corrosion and grime.

Cheers! We've been speaking about seeing if there's any interest in a another Golden Bat in the near future, I reckon your models should certainly be entered!
I'd love to enter. I'm just wrapping up an undead pirate crew for Ghost Archipelago at the moment.
Here's another recent addition, Morglug the Oblivious.
Here's another recent addition, Morglug the Oblivious.
He suits his name, he does look rather happy and oblivious with his unlife! I would very much like to see this pirate crew 
Here they are so far. Couple more to add, the whaler and the drowned ogre.
I can't figure out which one I like the most... 
I'm really liking the captain, but then the one stood behind with the beard and the staff just looks epic, and the one far right almost looks like he has a mermaid pose!
Cracking work as usual Mr Saturday, look forward to the whaler and the drowned ogre

Thanks all.
The whaler is finished. Let me introduce Jarl Hakon.
For anyone interested, there's more on the crew of the Kraken here: Mr Saturday's Mumblings

Here we are, a bit of soggy muscle for the warband. Boarding Hooke the drowned ogre.
Well hello! It’s been… a while. To make up for my absence, here’s an undead Russian warband for Silver Bayonet.
I swear Mr Saturday - you manage to find more unusual undead models than anyone else, and then of course make them look fantastic! I just caught up and did very much love your pirate crew and the russian undead gang is brill!
The painting on Stephane Dreux particularly stands out, the best way I can describe it is that the armour looks hot, like it's almost molten - was that hard to do?
Of course love the wights - them I do recognise! I hope you'll be entering in the upcoming Golden Bat?

Thanks! I do like some eclectic undead, tis’ true. Stephane’s armour is a lot of layers. It’s Flesh Tearer’s Red contrast over Wraithbone. Clean up with Mephiston Red. Highlight with Evil Suns Scarlet, then Wild Rider’s Red, Tau Light Ochre and then Kislev Flesh. Recess wash Druchii Violet with medium in a 1:1 mix. Then glaze the whole thing with Bloodletter Red & medium, again 1:1.I swear Mr Saturday - you manage to find more unusual undead models than anyone else, and then of course make them look fantastic!

The wights are, as you spotted, old Gary Morley sculpts. The knight in front is barely out a month. It’s by Wolfbaneart. There’s a whole undead Bretonnian retinue sculpted to go with him.
Golden Bat eh? Why I may just do.
Now, some regular skeleton warriors for the horde!

Love how you say "regular" when your skellies are anything but 
great additions and like the rusting here, normally see it with an orange hue but the red works nicely. With the verdigris on the scale armour, it reminds me a tad of red mold and so gives me a slightly damp rotting/rusting vibe!

Love how your style makes those retro models pop! The leftmost Wight is my favourite, always was a classic.
Agreed on the use of red for rust/patina - don't see it used often, but works really well. Complements the verdigris nicely.

Today we have Riccar de Purcell, flamboyant skeleton champion and the leader of the regiment Riccar’s Spears.
