Call Forth The Honoured Dead!

After a couple of days of light painting (blog updates scuppered by technical issues), I have completed the Ork Lobba and started the process of changing the red on the chaos cultists' clothes to yellow. I also did some of the other bits on the cultists. That was Wednesday's work, anyway, and Thursday saw P and I go to the little Empire Cinema in Caergybi to watch Wicked For Good which was a decent film, but didn't quite stick the landing.
 

A very unassuming little artillery piece, but it was fun to do and nice and simple as well

 

Not the best of photos, but you can see the yellow on the cultists at the back, and if you look at the wrists on some of them you can see the cloth wraps have been blocked out

 

Tomorrow I have my first game of Warhammer Fantasy: The Old World arranged, with a chap called N at the university of Bangor's wargames club. Some of you may remember my Tomb Kings army which, it turns out, is pretty much spot on 2,000 points even without magic items. I'm going to take it over to Bangor tomorrow morning and watch it get stamped into bone dust by Chaos Warriors, but I'll have fun and maybe even remember some of the rules (I won't)!

On the Tomb King front, I also still have the bone dragon from the starter set that I picked up when The Old World was released, and although I can't find the base for it at the moment (no idea where it's gone) I did put it together and kitbash a Tomb King to sit on top of it from parts of the Tomb King, High Priest, and a piece off a random Vampire Counts sprue I had floating around in my bits box:

Not the best photo, but you can see the Tomb King sitting on his saddle and the sheer size of the dragon's skeletal form

I envisage this particular mummified corpse-regent to be the consort of the Queen of the Red City, who goes off and performs various heroic acts to gain her favour while she stands with her Scarab Guard in the centre of the army. He needs a sensible name, but the dragon will probably end up called something like "Biscuit" but in ancient Egyptian. That's "𓇋𓀁𓅡𓏤𓈙𓏏𓅱𓈀" ("jbšt") or "𓊪𓅮𓄿𓈎𓆁𓈀" ("p3q")if you're interested. Anyway, once I find (or get) a base for Biscuit and his rider, I'll get them and the Casket of Souls painted up.
