Boo!
Presenting my first finished models of 2025. If you had "ghosts" on your 2025 Neverness Bingo card then you're a winner. And a clairvoyant. This had to be the hardest set of models I have ever assembled. I could elucidate further however I have found plenty of commentary online that has explored this topic far more thoroughly than I chose to explore here.

However painting these things was a refreshing change of pace I am pleased to say. They are very easy to paint, and quick too! I used Duncan's guide from a few years ago, but I switched out Nilhilakh Oxide for a Contrast Paint called Briar Queen Chill. Personally, I don't think there's much of a difference.

I was quite pleased with how that turned out. Coelia Greenshade was added to the recesses throughout the miniature.

Next Ulthuan Grey was dry brushed on all the raised areas of the miniature.

Finally White scar was carefully applied to the faces, hands and daggers.

Wow, I am very pleased with how that turned out! Of course, I painted up the other two bases as well. And there we have it, a full unit of Spirit Hosts ready to scare the hell out of a bunch of Old World peasants.
Now to build an army around this... a small, but spooky army.

Oh, these look particularly nice! I really like the palette, looks much more atractive than the nuclear green, I'm definitely noting your recipe down! Cool job!
Thanks! And yes, there are a lot of examples of 'nuclear green' ghosts out there. Some of them look like toxic waste elementals than they do specters from beyond the grave.
I like the ghosts coming out od the skeletons, that's novel. How frail are they? They look like nightmares (pun intended) to transport.
I would say that they're fairly frail. They are a real challenge to assemble so one handles them with care after the fact. The fragile vibe of the VC range is what has kept me away from them for so long.
