From Mike W - Egyptian Undead Skeletons (75 Points)

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

Gold trim was then added to all the appropriate laces and then bark blue and light blue details were added to complete the look. All pieces of cloth were dry brushed a light sand colour.

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!
