My Undead Warband for Fanticide has been shown in various battle scenes and other areas, but we haven't looked at the actual structure of the warband and units in depth.
Background
The nightmarish Underside of Nowhere is home to all manner
of unspeakable horrors. From the hordes of Creeps to the unnamed things that
skitter in the darkness, Underside is somewhere that fools go to die.
The strange emanations and radiation that permeates all of Underside from the Hole gives rise to numerous creatures not seen anywhere else on Nowhere. It also provides a refuge for beings that have come through the Hole to recruit servants and slaves to their service.
The Bone Devil known as Elras’travalleg’mah’vax (or the Scourge to most) was trapped in Nowhere over a thousand years ago. Early in his arrival to the land, he was imprisoned by the Fae in a massive blood red gem and taken deep into the Underside and buried. He remained there for eight hundred years until one of the numerous earthquakes that shake Nowhere regularly uncovered the crystal. A Creep discovered the crystal and tried to eat the gem (since Creep’s aren’t very smart). The one-eyed monster’s powerful jaws shattered the gemstone, unleashing the Devil upon Nowhere to once again wreak havoc upon the land.
The Devil quickly dispatched the Creep and his nearby brood before setting off to once again build an army to conquer this land for his own. Through fell magics, the Devil raised numerous dead to his cause, binding the mindless creatures to his will. As his power grew, other Undead were drawn to the dark energies of the hellspawn and soon Wraiths, Ghouls, and more came to serve the beast.

Now the Bone Devil and his minions scour the lands of
Nowhere looking to claim more and more power.
For the Warband, I came up with the following structure:
Legend - Bone Devil
Crushers - Wraiths
Stickers - Skeletons
Slashers - Armored Skeletons
Thumpers - Ghouls
This is where the Warband is currently, and I have come up with some future additions in the form of:
Master - Vampire
Peeves - Giant Rats
Monster - Carrion Scavenger
The full stats, equipment, and point values for this warband can be found on our website here.

Glad to refind these custom warband lists as the links to them in the 'show off your warband' board had broke.
