My final post of the day is a batch of Warhammer Tomb Kings undead skeletons, painted to contribute to my new mini project. I'll now get back to some more historical figures - or maybe some Orcs for the Orc Room!
The finished unit. |
These old figures were found over the weekend, they were actually undercoated already so the painting job was already to go! On the white undercoat I applied a dark tone wash and allowed it to dry. Then I dry brushed with a a light earth colour and then applied another wash before dry brushing with a bone colour created from light sand and light earth colours.
Row of 5 figures |
Weapons were painted black - taking a leaf from the recently completed Lizardmen, and shields were painted light blue.
Another Row of figures |
Command Row of the unit |
Figures were then dipped in Army Painter Strong tone and when dry they were given a matt varnish. Fine sand was added to the stands and a dry grass tuft added to each base.

This is certainly your day for clearing old figures from the queue. Nice skellies, Mike!
