I love off standard undead. I use Zombie Ogres, Skeletal Giants...oh yes. They never expect that and when it happens its a beautiful thing. This mini has a lot of character, I love the expression. It looks like he's kind of saying "Haha! I gotcha!"
@Runokobold - I wish I'd had this one in my Training Dungeon. Following a very tough fight, the party managed to take down the ogre and thought they'd done pretty well.
What they didn't realise was that an evil 5th level cleric was out and about, stealing bodies and turning them into zombies. Guess who he decided to bring back to unlife...
Benbo, 3rd level Fighter/4th level Thief - he who dares.
Galzor, 4th level cleric - mysteriously disappeared along with the Third and his coffin.
Zanurax, 3rd level thief (recovering from being partly eaten by a lion and has now gone to join Merlin)
Olaf, 4th level dwarven fighter, now returning to his clan halls
Merlin, 3rd level thief (called away on the business of the Thieves' Guild)
Adthar, 4th level fighter - currently both an Ettin and a statue
Elador, nth level magic-user - called away on special assignments but will act as mentor and adviser to the team
The Fallen
Galadeus, 2nd level ranger - drowned and then eaten by a shark.....aaaaaand he's BACK! aaaaaaaaand he's dead again.

Call of Cthulhu - visit our wiki
That's what Old School means to me
"These rules are flexible and open to interpretation - designed not to cover all conceivable situations, but to allow good Referees and Players the freedom to create and play games of their own design."
from the Lulu download page for The White Box S&W from BHP
"This game is unlike chess in that the rules are not cut and dried. In many places, they are guidelines and suggested methods only. This is part of the attraction of Advanced Dungeons and Dragons"
