I return from the cold northern wastes of the Firth of Clyde to once again post some stuff. I haven't done any new painting so here are photos of my Tomb Kings army that I'm working on for Warhammer Fantasy: The Old World, the new edition of Warhammer Fantasy Battle. I've not actually played any games with it yet, but - you know - baby steps.
Queen Hapshetsida's Royal Host:
Queen Hapshetsida, the Undying and Divine Monarch, Priest Queen of the Red City:
 |
| Queen Hapshetsida and her pet cat, Ndjem |
 |
| Rear view, showing the cloak (and scarabs!) |
Itetaten, Royal Herald of the Queen, Bearer of the Standard of the
Host:
 |
| The banner is made from a wide variety of bits and Itetaten himself is an old metal Tomb Guard I had lying around! |
 |
| Rear view |
Ptah-um-Setek, Hierophant, High Liche Priest of the Red City:
 |
| I made Ptah-um-Setek out of parts from the Tomb King on Bone Dragon kit |
 |
| Rear view |
Weret-Hekau, Liche Priest of the Red City:
 |
| Much like Itetaten I had a metal Tomb Priest kicking around so that became Weret-Hekau |
 |
| Rear view |
Edifis’ Scarab Guard of the Red City:
 |
| They deploy with Queen Hapshetsida and Itetaten hence the short front rank |
 |
| Shields - bronze and gold, in deliberate contrast to the ones used by everyone else |
Artifis’ Chosen of the Crocodile:
 |
| Cowhide shields! |
Exlibris’ Chosen of the Scorpion:
 |
| Cowhide shields... but black and white instead of brown and white! |
Krukhut’s Eastern Watch:
Very simple paintjobs on all these archers
Ekonomikrisis’ Tower Guard:
 |
| An axe to break up the khopesh supremacy |
Mintjulep’s Company of the
Snake:
Back to a khopesh for Mintjulep
Prefis’ Storm Riders:
 |
| Plain white cowhide shields for the elite cavalry regiment |
Sethisbakup’s Eyes of the Eagle:
 |
| Some scouts and harassers - an auxilia from a different culture with bronze helms |
Ptenisnet’s Riders of Ptra, the Chosen of the Queen:
 |
| Chariots! A full command that is also the entire unit. Fast, mobile, hard hitting |
THE ARMY IN FULL:
 |
| Top down view showing the army in its box - 1,999 points of bones! |
OK, it's not the most effective Tomb Kings army ever, but it is characterful and captures what I was trying to do, which is make a sort of Bronze Age style army really drawing even more heavily on the Ancient Egyptian styling of the faction. I have added to it since, and have a couple more units in the painting queue for it too - and will probably end up getting the remaining types of units too.
I'll pop photos of the other, newer units for this army up tomorrow. Toodle-pip!
