Tale of Painters - Tomb Kings

[Seneschal]

Wow, if my army wasn't already painted I'd ask if you do commissions! I love the brightness of your models and the great job you did highlighting them. The chariots are my favorite unit, I really like the color choices you made with them.

 

[Mioum]

Thanks for the kind words

This month I finished my Casket. The base was already done so I worked mostly on the crews and some touch-up;

And since I was done early with my Casket, I also made and painted those wounds markers;

That was a relatively smooth month after the Sphinx, so next month I'm gonna paint my Hierotitan. Should be fun, and I'm actually excited to paint it!

 

[Vectra]

those wound markers are very lovely indeed. looking forward to the hierotitan. what model will you use?

 

[Mioum]

Thanks

You can see the Titan on the first page, more precisely in this post.

 

[Nagashizzar]

Very nice! I love it!

Can't wait to see it painted!

 

[Nagashizzar]

Just realized that I was talking about the Titan on the first page sorry

But great CoS man!

 

[Primewill]

Wow, wound markers? I've never seen that before! I love your painting, especially on that warsphinx. Great work!

 

[Mioum]

Thanks

Now for the Titan, just finished painting it, so here it is;

No idea what I'll do next month though...

 

[Seneschal]

Wow, black is the hardest color to highlight but you did a tremendous job. The best heirotitan I've ever seen. Well done, sir.

 

[Lynks]

That's a really nice job on the Hierotitan Mioum

 

[RoguePanda]

I am all kinds of impressed with that titan... serious kudos there! The rest of the army looks good too, and I am really fond of the old mummies unit - classics in every sense. I will be popping back to see how you get on

 

[Mad 'At]

Absolutely stunning :O

The black is great! Do I detect some space wolves grey or something similar?

 

[Mioum]

Thanks guys, glad you like it

@ Mad'At; It's only Codex Grey and Fortress Grey, no other grey was used there

 

[Mad 'At]

Huh, I was so certain... Then you are truly a great highlighter

 

[The Sun King]

And I jizzed in my pants.

You good sir rock my world.

 

[Mr Saturday]

Super nice job on the titan, it's not too often you see someone who can both convert and paint to a high standard.

 

[Mioum]

Why thank you, really glad that people love it!

Since last update, I've started to paint my unit of old mummies (count-as Tomb Guards with halberds). Still not done (I do about a rank per month) but here's what it looks like at this point;

First rank done in November;

And in December;

But I also kept some time during these months to alternate between painting and building. In November I spent my time on finishing a lot of my TK characters. There's quite a few of them so let's go!

Generic Liche;

Generic Liche mounted (stand-in horse, real one will be different);

Liche with Lore of Death (that's an old 5th edition Necrarch body here);

Liche with Lore of Death, mounted (this one is a 6th edition Necrarch, they really do make great Liche material!);

Generic Tomb King/Prince;

Generic Tomb King/Prince (made him a scorpion shield to go will all the scorpion icons he have everywhere);

Mounted Tomb Herald;

In December I gave my attention on some VC units (you can see them in my other log), but I also just finished a TK unit tonight! To go along the mounted Herald above, here's a Horsemen horde;

Fear the horde of crappy Horsemen and the average hero's fury!

 

[Mad 'At]

Man, all those characters look amazing. Loving the combination of metal figures with platic details

 

[xFallenx]

Wow! This is seriously the sauciest desert corpse army I've seen. Great work! The black on that titan is amazing!

 

[Mioum]

Thanks a lot, glad you like it

 

[Mioum]

Here's the latest update for this month.

First, I've finished up my mummies at last (Tomb Guards with halberd)!

Then I've painted a scenery for my TK;

 

[Mad 'At]

Great looking mummies

And I love the colour of the stone structure, how did you paint it?

 

[Mioum]

Thanks!

The stone were base-coated white, then washed with watered down Karak Stone. Then I gave it two coat of Seraphim Sepia, and it's pretty much it!

 

[Sharkbelly]

Very nice. The little mummified cat is great!

 

[Mr Saturday]

Aw, that's a GREAT unit. Were I to do a tomb guard unit I'd do exactly the same thing. Nice conversion with the standard bearer. I see uyou've even got the old Heroquest mummy in there!
