Continuing with my new pet side project of an Egyptian Undead Army, may a present the Mummy King and three of his Guards.
The figures are all from Reaper, the Mummy King being metal, whilst the Guards are plastic of some kind. Detail on the figures is great and it made the painting job seem really easy.

The Mummy King, dressed in rags & riches! |
... and a better front view, I think less is best with dried grass in a desert setting. |
I washed the bandages with a watered down brown wash and the fleshy areas with dark tone washes before picking out the bandages again in light sand colour and highlighting the fleshy parts with light grey.
A view of the unfortunate Guardsmen buried for eternity with their king in his TOMB! |
Gold trim was added for weapons, shields and headdresses etc and the dark blue / light blue decorative patterns have been kept to give the army a bit of a theme as it develops - these areas got a bit of a blue wash and the gold trim got a brown wash.
And a front view of the three guardsmen, who happen to come three to a pack! |
All finished with matt varnish!
The guardsmen also come with a variant pose with a spear in their hands, although the soft plastic is about OK for these sword wielding guys, if I get some of the spearmen I'll likely replace the spears with metal ones as I hate a bent spear on my figures.

ReplyDeleteWow, very cool stuff! Great brushwork.
ReplyDeleteSplendid Tomb Guardians
ReplyDeleteI’m with Sander on the lapis, also the dried mummy flesh looks great.
ReplyDeleteYou're virtually bulldozing your way through the Chambers of Challenge Mike! Fabulous work on those mummies. The blue of their shields and paraphernalia work great with the more dusty tones of their bases and bandages.
ReplyDeleteGreat looking Mummies. Well done.
ReplyDeleteSplendid looking mob of undead !
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
That is some fabulous brushwork on them, particularly like the leader!
