After having revived my Tomb Kings back in 2016, I just completed the first 1,000 points under Warhammer Fantasy Battle 8th Edition rules. The core troops of the Tomb Kings offer a range of tactical options, from archers to spearmen and cavalry, so the army should be entertaining to field.
The Tomb King was the final model I completed, while the Liche Priest is a second hand model that fits well into my paint scheme and only needed re-basing.
Once I had all troops lined up, I found the archers and spearmen to look a bit flat, so I went back over them, adding highlights to shields, weapons and bones. This ties them in better with the cavalry models as well, which were individually highlighted rather than drybrushed.
There are still a lot more regiments and constructs buried in the sand, waiting to be resurrected to march forth and conquer an eternal empire for my Tomb Kings. Some horse archers and Ushabti might be next, though for now I am going to direct my gaze towards the living. Or maybe the daemonic…

Cheers, it’s definitely the finishing touch the army needed, although it delayed completion by another week.

Those are looking great! I must admit I was never a big fan of the tomb kings back in the day but looking at these has me appreciating them anew. Looking forward to seeing those Ushabti when you get to them, even I thought those were damn cool models. :-)

Cheers, glad I convinced you of their charms. Since I always enjoyed ancient history I immediately bought into the Undead/Egyptian mash-up. I think I will put together some Ushabti and add them into the ever-overflowing paint queue.

Looks excellent, the highlighting really worked and the blue colour ties teh army together. But you must expand: Ushabti , Catapult, Giant, Giant scorpion, swarms and Casket of Souls. They were all great additions to my 6th Ed.Tomb Kings army.

Thank you! There is a lot of potential, they do have some very interesting special units indeed. For now I am working on some Dwarfs though, out to steal their treasure…
