Even though they are draped in their colours, it does little to hide the fact that the horses are mere skeletons, but, combined with the rider, these knights are a force to be reckoned with. Maintaining the skeleton theme, the pawns are armed with swords and shields to defend their army, but it is the rooks in this set that are the most dramatic, with a fortress atop a large demonic skull on one side and a castle atop a mountain of skulls on the other.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe have matched these grisly chessmen with a superb quality 40cm walnut and maple chessboard from Spain to give you\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/en-us\/products\/the-zombie-hand-painted-themed-chess-set-by-italfama\"\u003eThe Zombie Chess Set\u003c\/a\u003e.
