I also posted these on Frothers but here goes...
About a month and a half ago I decided it was time to paint and my undead army. I love the classic models and have collected some over time. I use the Tomb King rules as they accomodate for horsemen, chariots, skull catapults, archers and carrion. Yesterday after a battle Braxandur pressured me into taking pictures in his light tent, and so I did. Here they are:
This is my Liche Lord, Finrum, a pre-slotta liche model.
THis is a block of 50 skeletons, 40 plastics, nine metal models and my liche.
The metal skeletons, a command group of four and some pre-slotta skeletons. I use some of the 25mm models as skeleton children. Note the two dwarf skeletons.
21 archers, the models are mostly old plastics but also a skeleton with a bomb and nine skeletons with arquebuses. I will add metal archers later, and also more plastics probably as archers are nice to have in big numbers in Tomb King armies.
Two skeletons with arquebuses and the one with the bomb. My matte varnish doesn't really work as I imagined it would.
The infamous Nightmare Legion! One of the prides of my army. I painted the entire 24-skeleton regiment minus Ennio Mordini's arm (which was missing and replaced with a plastic arm). I was lucky enough to find some original shields for them as well. Reinforcements are on the way and I will expand this unit to 40 skeletons. In my army they work either as skeleton spearmen or as Tomb Guard. To add some Tilean flavour I drew Da Vincis skeleton on it with the following quote which suits a regiment of renown:
Nella tentazione
Cercando la gloria
Il prezzo da pagare
E' la caduta dell'uomo
These are plastic horsemen. The metal ones are much nicer but also a lot harder to find, so these will have to do.
Here are two shots of the banner with the epitaph: "Eram quod es, Eris quod sum" ("I was what you are, you'll be what I am").
I painted three chariots, I need more of course. The middle one is the old metal chariot. The original horses were missing so I gave it plastic ones. I gave the plastic chariots metal skeletons to make them fit in more, and to simply look better.
Finally there's this absolute beauty: Tom Meiers Zombie Dragon from 1985, what a beauty! I tried a bit to match the colours of the John Blanche painting on the box cover. In my Tomb Kings army I field it as a Bone Giant.
