<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The previous week was a disaster with only shields to show for a weeks effort, so this week I am pleased to report that I have managed to finish a complete unit of figures....</span></div>

<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<div><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The colour scheme has been chosen to match units of skeletons that I have already completed. This means green, green and more green. I opted to keep the greens on the shields and the clothing quite dark with little in the way of highlights. The reason for this is that I wanted the swords to stand out a little. </span></div>

<div><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Arial;">The grave guard wights weapons are magical and have killing blow. I have an awfull memory when playing the game, so I wanted some simple way of reminding myself of these properties. I started with a blue colour, but this did not look "undead" enough for the look I wanted. I therefore tried green, but was concerned that they would just get lost in the look of the unit.</span><span style="font-family: Arial;"> </span> </span></div>

<div style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><span style="font-size: small; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The standard has been taken from an Ogre unit. I just didn't like the grave guard standard and wanted something which had size and a ragged look. The problem with this standard is that it needed raising quite a lot otherwise it just would not rank. I have used a stiff paper clip for this after the first attempt with using plastic standard posts glued together failed. </span></div>
