Warhammer Fantasy - Tomb Kings

Temple of Souls


Well Adventurer, are you brave enough to enter the.. "TEMPLE OF SOULS!!" ?

   The recent release of the Shattered Temple for Warhammer Age of Sigmar got me thinking that it would be a great scenery centrepiece for my Tomb Kings themed battlefield. We have named the Battlefield "Two Brass Pass" after a particularly woefully executed battleplan by the Tabletop Hobbit during one of our Triumph and Treachery "World Title Belt" Matches.


The Tabletop Hobbit busily plots his next staggering military blunder.

   I had already converted some leftover parts of the old Warhammer Fantasy Arcane Ruins Set (Watch out for what I used the rest for in the next Dark Elf Khainite article!) into some Tomb King pieces, The Shattered Temple looked like it would blend in nicely with these, so I will be matching the paintwork on this.

    The Arcane Ruin parts were glued together then I added some Tomb King shields to the sides of the columns and a banner top on one side of the lintel and a skull  from the Warhammer Fortress Kit on the other.



   The Shattered Temple columns were fine as they come and I felt just the minor conversion of banner tops on each of the column plinths would make it look suitably Tomb King like.






   The banner ribbons were clipped off the two little gold skulls. I did consider leaving them on but thought it looked better without them. Also clipped off the little nodule on the reverse of the banner top where you would normally glue in the banner pole. This was to allow easier gluing to the plinth.



    Colour selection was determined by the theme of my Tomb King army, Sotek Green and Retributer Armour (Gold). I also use Stegadon Scale Green on some models and as a backdrop to boost the Sotek Green.

    The entire piece was undercoated with a brown spray. I then watered down an old, almost finished, pot of Bestial Brown and applied this to all areas.

 Note there is a Handy Links Section included at the foot of this post.

     The stone areas were painted with a layer of Karak Stone then washed with Agrax Earthshade the raised areas were dry-brushed with Karak Stone.









    I picked out areas that I wanted to be Sotek Green and applied a base layer of Stegadon Scale Green to these as well as the recessed areas in the central design. Then layered the Sotek Green on the raised areas and areas like the recesses on the Arcane Ruin pieces.


 


     The gold areas started with a base layer of Abbadon Black then a layer of Retributer Armour. When this dried I applied a wash of Agrax Earthshade over the gold to 'weather' it a little.


  

    Three are some gears and cogs in the central design. I base coated these with Abbadon Black the layered Leadbelcher to pick them out. I applied a wash of Nuln Oil over this to dull them down so as not to outshine the central skull motif.
     The couple of skulls in amongst the flagstone floor received an appropriate layer of Ushabti Bone and that's it.



   Keeping the colour scheme simple but themed certainly blends it in with the desert battlefield and with my Tomb King army as demonstrated by the Liche-priest conducting an arcane ritual to refill his Casket of Souls.

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 smoothly an

Warhammer Fantasy - Dark Elves Chapter 8 - Har Ganeth Darkshards

  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 have them

Warhammer 40K - Sector Mechanicus Part 1 Galvanic Servohaulers Welcome to Mars-Real Estate! if you're gonna build an industrial centre you first need some plant... Looking to Buy Galvic Servohaulers? UK -   Element Games    The Outpost    Firestorm Games    Wayland Games USA / Canada - Games Kastle I have to recreate a martian industrial landscape....on a table...!!!...no problem! First up, I'm ahead of the curve, as I have a desert themed game-mat. These game-mats are really good. They are made of a similar material to a mouse mat. Therefore they are gentle on falling models and are a good surface for rolling dice on. The main benefit of these mats are they hold their shape after rolling up at the end of the battle, no creases or wrinkles despite numerous battles, and rolling up into their own bag, are easily stored. Secondly, I've managed to acquire a fair amount of industrially themed scenery which I'm going to paint up over the next few months. In 9th edition 40K
