Firstly, I would cut off any obvious Undead things, like bats, skulls, etc. Then, I would greenstuff over the bones, so they are wearing long robes, possibly also giving them cloaks. Then, I would give them an Empire helmeted head, probably one from the Knights.
It's all good, apart from the empire knight helmets. I think that would just look stupid. However, if you're using knight helmets you might as well chop the ornaments off of the Knights Panther heads, they look pretty good and gothic.

yeah, the knight heads always look stupid on foot troops.

But do remember that time is money Caiaphus. If you want to convert a unique unit go ahead but if you wantot save money, then buying expensive plastic skeletons then buying the amount of greenstuff needed to make them suitably Empire will not save you much money.

Yes, and it isn't like green stuff is cheap as chips, now is it? But still, if you think it will look cool I'd be willing to spend more. WIth the time=money think I would have probably been better off to buy the Stank, but it also is a lot of fun to build stuff.

I have plenty of time. Its not like I have homework, or a job, or a family at all... :icon_redface:

Wow. I didn't expect this thread to become so controversial. I'm almost proud.

But as I said earlier, I will buy some next Tuesday, GS them up, and post pics when I am done. If you don't see any pics, then you will all know it failed miserably, and I won't be posting on here for a while.... :dry:
