Spooktober 5th preview: Bring out your deads!
🕑 Added 2022-09-29 19:23:33 +0000 UTCGood evening guys,
Here we are again to show you the 5th preview (yes, the fifth!) of this insane and spooky upcoming October 2022 Release in Highlands Miniatures: the Corpse Cart! 💀🎃
About the Corpse Cart
We couldn't let this opportunity go away without paying a tribute to Eric Idle from Monty Python and one of the greatest sketches of all, the "Bring out your dead" from Monty Python and the Holy Grail movie. You can see him leading the chariot, spear in hand, ringing the bell -that signifies the death knell of the world-, announcing the arrival of the Corpse Cart.
The desing of the chariot, including the main structure, the wooden stakes and so on, is based on a medieval spanish peasant chariot still in use in the fields of the northwest of Spain, a "holy" land called Galicia. This chariot is called there "carro galego" and you can see the main reference if you CLICK HERE.
Finally, we have included a reference to the Triumph of the Dead by Pieter Bruegel in the back of the chariot, a skeleton dragging the corpse of a lady to the chariot of the deads. This reference was suggested by one of our patrons in the discord server and we though it would be great to add something from the painting to the miniature!
Remember, the October 2022 Release will be composed of:
- Four (4) Mounted Skeleton Core Miniatures
- Three (3) Mounted Skeleton Command Group
- Five (5) Undead Horses
- Six (6) Skeleton Warriors Core Miniatures

Am I the only one who thinks the skeletons collecting bodies to make zombies is funny? Like, the necromancer looks like he’s in a uniform instead of a crazy homeless wizard. Its like community service, bad skeletons get zombie community outreach.
