Suggestions for what to do with his halberd would be much appreciated

I would model flames on it with green stuff. Nice work with the skeleton torso.

That looks really, really good!

I've been trying to motivate myself to get some ghost knights done... What colors did you use?

This is pretty awesome, good job.

Great job.

Stick to the theme. Fire is extremely difficult to sculpt, and even more difficult to paint in such a way where it looks good.

It's looking pretty good so far. I'm impressed, especially by the vision of the design.

Thanks for the comments guys!

Rihgu, you should definately get some Ghost Knights going on...this was a terminators and vamp counts skeletons kitbash and was great fun to do. For painting it I blended greys from black at the bottom of the model up to a light grey at the top, then drybrushed white generously at the top and steadily less so moving down the model. Then I washed it with Biel Tan green before drybrushing again with the white to pick out the edging.

That's awesome. Very nice. I like the base aswell.

I like this a lot.

For the sword, I would cut one from transparent plastic, give it a white wash (Or whatever ghostly colour you preferr, so it looks translucent, and attack to the hilt of a normal sword with the blade removed.

Some rust effect on the lettering would really make it pop I think. Amazing idea though keep it up

You're welcome! This has definitely inspired me to go ahead with Mordrak. Thanks for the guide! Next paycheck I know what I'm buying...

Wow. I hadn't actually considered making them skeletal. I always pictured them being this vaguely spectral suit of armor with its contents being somewhat ambiguous.

I definitely like this different look at it.

Amazing! I love the skeletal angle. Great idea.

As to the halberd, I would recommend a flaming weapon of some variety. Warhammer Fantasy has some great flaming weapons, if I recall correctly, or you can always make your own flames out of greenstuff or Liquid Nailz.

Have you considered the scythes from GW Hexwraiths?

Cut off the censers and just use them with the little spectral flames on them.

Went for a simple extension of the theme in the end. Right, off to do another four in various degrees of skeleton-ness

That's amazing, can't wait to see the rest of them.

Cheers Samuel! The full squad, with Mordrak, can now be found here

G-g-g-ghost knights, Scoob!
That looks awesome. I've seen them painted in ghostly shades like that before, but the screaming skeleton rules. Reminds me of Major Tom's ghost from The Venture Bros:

Gruesome!

These are really cool! Can't wait to see more.

That has to be the best Ghost Knight I have seen. Great work I can't wait to see more.

Awesome!
