[Written] Wild Specters of the Old West - Dread West Archetype

[Magmacore_Soldier]

First, a befitting theme song...Inspired by the old myths and history of my home state (Arizona), a love for things western, and another love for things ghostly and undead, the Dread West are a ruthless posse of Fiendish cowboys who use bestial Zombies to empower them in many ways as they ride across the sand and dust, terrorizing all who cross their wake. Per usual, all comments and thoughts are welcomed.
