The Tribe of Bromley: Bone Giant - Nina Bromley (15 Points)


My Giant is for my Tomb Kings Army. 


My dad bought all of us armies so we wouldn't have to paint his. He helped me assemble them, base them, and for my Tomb kings he bought some stain to dip them. We made a big mess and made my mom mad!


The bone giant is very special. When he was built I was doing the base when I was little and added too much glue, my dad had to scrape alot of sand off the stuff he added to the base. Dad helped me base and dip the whole army before he went to Afghanistan.



I painted him blue, green, and red because they blend well with each other and two, I wanted what I call "specials" to stick out from the other regular army. So far my regular army has generals, tomb kings, and my queen.

Well Nina, make no mistake, THAT is a magnificent Bone Giant. Very well done! 

I really like the colours you've picked for this big chap along with the rest of your 'Specials'. It conveys, very well, the ancient Egyptian design of the beastie. I'm also quite impressed with the bone colour you've achieved. It looks like its just risen from the sand, bending very well with the rest of the basework (artfully scraped by your dad).

He's a big, bony fella, so lets score him at 15 points. Beautiful work Nina. Until now I was having a rather cloudy day, but you've brightened it up considerably. I hope you join us again soon with another entry.

  4. Great work Nina. The Khemri Tomb Kings are a fantasy force I wish I had collected...they offer abject lessons about what happens when you mess with tombs!

    Great colours, great work. Well done!

  7. So why doesn't your dad want you painting his armies? You've done a stunning job on the giant, so I am guessing you will surpass all our skills in no time, great stuff indeed!

  9. If I was your Dad I'd be enlisting your help at every opportunity Nina! Lovely work and I really admire your colour choices - very evocative of real Egyptian design i.e. King Tut's death mask

  17. Welcome to the Challenge Nina!
    Nice Bone King, but I'm really looking forward to seeing what you do with the Bone Queen.
    (If the rule set is like chess, the Queen is more powerful than the King, so she needs to be painted accordingly!👑

  20. Thank you, everyone!
    I shown Nina her post last night once home from work. She is very chuffed, and reading all the comments made her blush!
    She just blew the doors off a SAT test and will be taking college math and science shortly. With her athletics and schoolwork she will attempt to get some more tomb kings completed. I will try to get her to respond, but she takes more after her mother than her dad except for her stubbornness...that's all from me! ;)

  21. I like the contrast between the bright colours and the dusty base!
