From Anthony O - Revenant Worm Riders - 50 Points

I am continuing to fill out the Empire of Dust army with another submission this week. Revenant Worm Riders are a completely ridiculous concept but I love the absurdity. I mean if you are undead you may as well ride a weird undead snake looking thing right?




 I have again used Games Workshop Tomb King miniatures and will continue to do so. I understand the Tomb King line is hard to come by now and expensive as they have stopped producing them but I have sufficient for my project.


They really seem inefficient and not very useful in game but as a centerpiece they stand out and will be noticed.

I absolutely LOVE these figures!  The sheer absurdity of a skeleton riding a giant skeleton snake thing tickles me pink.  In some ways I wish I'd bought some when they were on general release, but given they'd only be sat on the shelves of holding in their box still now, its probably a good job I didn't!

The jade and gold effects on the hoods work marvellously and irrespective of their rules, they'll look awesome above the heads of their little bony cousins as that last picture shows.

Tricky ones to score these as they're more than cavalry, but not quite large enough to be vehicles with commanders.... so putting them through the appropriate algorithms, I get a score of 50 points for the three together.

  5. That's completely f*&#ed, but I love it. I would imagine these giant surf-snakes would make Skaven a little nervous. Great work Patch!
