Tomb Kings: First painting completed in ages

After the intense painting spree of the AHPC XIV Challenge, I've not really touched a paintbrush in anger, however, this week I got my mojo back and completed a batch of 25 Tomb Kings.

The eight Skeleton spearmen

Spearmen from a different angle

The figures were obtained for a steal on eBay and were a mixed batch, see photo below. I started pretty much from scratch on all thes guys, fixing broken limbs and torsos before undercoating in a cream coloured acrylic.

Two of the four skeleton Standard Bearers

Next was the Skelton Horde contract paint before a light drybrush in cream again.

Nine Skeleton Archers

A slightly different view

Weapons, shields and quivers were picked out in sky blue, as were some other details, shields and quivers were also given a blue ink wash, to suggest aging and to add depth. 

Hoplite Gold was used to block in all metal before this was highlighted in brass and then some touches of silver.

Another two Skeleton Standard Bearers.

All cloth for streamers and bandages waspicked out in Light Sand before highlighting with white and a wash to add depth.

Three skeleton musicians

Detail was added to banners and musicians in form of writing on some of the streamers/ bandages etc.

The figures as obtained fom eBay!

All in all, I'm very happy with results, I'll have to do a 'show and tell' on the whole army at some point in the future, maybe I'll finally get to build and paint the last two chariots after a 10 year wait!!
