And the Tomb Kings rode to war.

Good evening gamers! I have had a rather productive time since my last post, in which I think I have managed to whack out the skeletal horsemen in quite a reasonable time frame, and as promised, more pictures along side my painting process, as to provide more of a step by step guide in case anyone is interested in how I go about painting my tomb kings exactly. So here we go!;

Step 1,2 &3

1. Glue some sand to the base of the mini's after construction.
2. Base coating them with a spray of Army painter - Matt White.
3. Wash whole model (including base) with Citadel - Seraphim Sepia.

Step 4,5 &6

4. Paint the spear shafts, sword handles, banner poles etc with Citadel - Mephiston Red.
5. Paint the spear tips and bases with Citadel - Hashut Copper.
6. Wash the whole spear with Citadel - Agrax Earthshade.

Step 7,8,9,10,11 & 12

7. Drybrush highlight all copper bits with Citadel - Runefang Steel.
8. Wash the newly highlighted copper with another wash of Citadel - Agrax Earthshade.
9. Paint all bits that are to later be painted gold (helmet trims, shield skulls and rims etc) with Citadel - Mournfang Brown.
10. Paint all bits that are to later be painted turquoise with Citadel - Macragge Blue.
11. Paint scripture papyrus / banner flags with VGC - Bonewhite.
12. Wash ropes / bandages with Citadel - Agrax Earthshade.

Step 13 & 14

13. Paint all blue based bits with Citadel - Sotek Green.
14. Wash scripture papyrus / banner flags and the front face of the shield with Citadel - Agrax Earthshade.

Step 15,16 &17

15. Highlight turquoise on the banner and on helmet flaps with a mixture of VGC - Skullwhite and Citadel - Sotek Green.
16. Highlight scripture papyrus / banner flags with VGC - Bonewhite.
17. The details on the banner were painted using a mixture of VGC - Skullwhite and Citadel - Sotek Green (On the bonewhite background parts), and with VGC - Skullwhite (On the turquoise backround parts).

Step 18,19,20 &21

18. Paint all parts that were previously coating in brown Citadel - Ghenna's Gold.
19. Drybrush highlight all gold parts with Citadel - Runefang Steel.
20. Wash all gold parts with Citadel - Seraphim Sepia.
21. Use multiple watered down layers of VGC - Heavy Brown to build up the base  rim colour.







And there we go! That is a step by step guide to how I paint my Tomb kings, overall I enjoyed painting these, much like the skeletal spear men in terms of process and details, and of course a final picture(s) the finished product;

                                    

Next up on my list is either my skeletal archers, or possibly a trygon prime!
