Happy to have them here in Gothic Horror. They look great, can you tell us the painting recipe?

Thanks :) Its very simple all citadel paints, some brown for basecoat cant remember witch. Skull white on the bandages, teeth and snakebite leather for exposed body. Then a devlan mud wash over that. Some gold, chainmail and scorched brown for the sword I think. Oh and think I painted the eyes black.

They look really good.

The "dirty" white bandages are very well done, as are all shadows.

The skin tone you used for your mummies is new to me, but it does look aproppriate.

Thanks for sharing.
I know you're too old to play with toy soldiers. So give them to me... NOW!

I know I've always considered them Gothic, with a capital G, no less! Okay, on the edge, if there is one, with Pulp.  lol

I've assumed the white/grey pattern you usually see indicates great age, but these really 'pop' in a good way.

By the way...  :-*

"...very easy to paint", and very nice to look at.

Below is a link to my blog. It's the place where I write uninteresting things about little toy soldiers. I do this because I refuse to grow up and behave like an adult.
