From Barks: Skull Bomb at The Tomb (80 points)

I have pursued my quarry to the cemetery.

At the strangely wrought gates, a raven caws ominously.

The gates creak open of their own accord- what monsters lurk within?

I picked up the plastic GW 'Garden of Morr' about ten years ago, for its superb potential as gothic horror scenery. I found it has subsequently been rebranded as a 'Sigmarite Mausoleum'. I shaved off most of the Warhammer iconography (twin-tailed comets), and made hanging gate hinges out of staples cut in half.

This was my first time weathering copper, using Vallejo 72.135 Verdigris over VMC 70.999 Copper. The Verdigris is one of those bottled magic products which I applied with stippling and as a thin wash. I thought I over-egged the pudding by using Contrast Aethermatic Blue in the cracks between tiles.

I was going to have this statue as stone, but the verdigris roofs were too nice so I made the statue copper as well.

I magnetized the tomb lid.

The details are dense. I like the deep purple/ orange/ turquoise interplay.

It measures about 7x10x4 imperial inches, so I reckon 25 points?

That's 25 points to my GW side tally.

20 bonus location points for The Tomb, plus 5 points for the bonus haunters

Plus 30 points for 6x 28mm models from the Descent boardgame.

Oh, yeah, and the Skull-o-meter™ reads 375 Skullz.

What a treat it is to minion this post! While I am of course shocked that you would deface this hallowed Sigmarite shrine, I applaud the results. The verdigris looks spot on! And having painted one of these 5 or 6 years ago myself, I am surprised there isnt another 100 skullz on that tally! Nevertheless, this should give Stuart a good run for his money - Bravo JB, Bravo!
