Tomb Kings - Tomb King in a Chariot
When the Tomb King goes to war he likes to travel in style.


Build
The bulk of the model is a basic chariot that has a couple of easily modeled conversions. The blade on the front has been replaced with the blade from a Sepulchral Stalker and a cobra emblem front the Necrosphinx/Warsphinx box set added to the top of the yoke.




The Tomb King also comes from the Warsphinx box. This model is set in a pose where his right leg is at angle as if he is stepping up. If you are using him in the Warsphinx or on foot then this is no problem as there are parts on the sprue that accommodate this. I simply had him rest his foot on a skull. It's not usually visible but it was an easy fix and nicely in theme for a Tomb King!



When I want to get painting something quickly - I go to my Tomb Kings!


Paint
Spray brown undercoat the entire model....and apply a thin layer of black to all metal parts. I used Mournfang Brown from Games Workshop but something similar and cheaper should be available from Army Painter, or the Plastic Soldier Company try Element Games, Wayland Games or Goblin Gaming for a great selection. I have banners below for quick ref.

The skeleton steeds are painted with Citadel bleached bone, nothing fancy, usually two coats but depends how thin your paint is.

The rest of the model is straightforward just choose your colour scheme and off you go. I’ve always been keen on a light blue / azure to contrast with the bones and red brown earthy tones.
The base is also very simple. Just paint on a layer of PVA and apply your sand mix, no fiddly dry brushing necessary. I've painted the edge of the base in a suitably 'deserty' colour...in this instance a very, very old orc brown citadel paint.(from the old 80s round pots..)



The Tomb King skin is also a very old citadel paint - rotting flesh.

I wanted my Tomb Kings to look like they've been parked in the desert for a lengthy period of time so I ink washed the gold with the trusty old Agrax Earthshade to tone it down a little, taking some of the bling away.
Top Tip: Citadel Paint Range is much cheaper from these guys below..

 Warhammer Fantasy - Tomb Kings - Necrolith Colossus

  Warhammer Fantasy Tomb Kings - Necrolith Colossus  I was always on the lookout for a model to represent the Necrolith Colossus in my Tomb Kings army. When the Hobbit spotted a 3D printed model on eBay and ran out of his hole shouting and squealing that it may be a good proxy, I thought I better take a look, if only to stop the neighbours complaining... There is a big temptation for getting my Tomb King army match fit for the release of The Old World. ( Assuming that the unit roster and base sizes will be similar to 8th edition ). When I saw the photo of it, I immediately recognised that it was, in fact, a great model to represent a Necrolith Colossus armed with a Bow of the Desert. Patting the little guy on the head, I couldn't really tell if the quality of print was good but decided to take a chance and ordered it. A few days later a Royal Mail hawk arrived with my Necrolith Colossus.   ( Unfortunately, I cannot remember the vendor's details but the purchase went ...

  Warhammer Fantasy - Dark Elves Chapter 8 Har Ganeth Darkshards Time to increase the core unit count of my Khainite force with some Darkshard s . This will not only increase the unit count but enable me to field an army at a higher points level. Their addition will also give me some variety in unit type, in regards a bit of range, as most of the army is melee based. HEY YOU ! Yeah you with the Beard..  Why not follow us on Instagram?   @Tabletop_hobby.blogspot I'm assuming Har Ganeth, as a major Druchii city, will be able to field a 'city guard' of some sort, (it certainly does in the Malus Darkblade novels - FD) . I felt  Darkshards  seemed the most appealing and appropriate to start with, this will install some missile capabilities in the army. Darkshards These are the standard core unit box set models that can also be assembled as Bleakswords  and Dreadspears .  I had enough parts to assemble a unit of 14 models including a command group and I also decided to hav...
