Introduction

The purpose of this page is to provide an overview and pictures of the classic slotta Undead Cavalry. Links to the pages of the catalogues on Stuff of Legends page 1 Stuff of Legends page 2 are included on all sections if possible. The C21 Undead were excellent figures and back then there was plenty of choice for a unit. You could have a whole army that was not rank and file looking, which with Undead was quite realistic as if you'd just trawled the graveyards.

Horses

Various of the following have variants. Others, such as Lizard / Lizardskin have a 2 piece casting. The latter having a name change on its variant as well, to Lizard Flesh horse. Over the period the catalogues attributed the sculptors as Bob Naismith, Aly Morrison and the Citadel Design team, depending on which page you looked at. The Spring 86 Journal attributed the models shown there to their outrageously Scottish designer Bob Naismith, stating that they were designed to exploit the 'multi part' system in which the horses are cast in two pieces to cut down on weight and cost. An unexpected bonus of this method was that the skeletal horses could be made to look really boney. Their words not mine, but they were great miniatures.
