Thanakhton Rising! A Tomb Kings paintlog

[Bearserker]

Thank you!

I went all out on the special guy of the chainrasp kit, added headdress and scarab amulet and replaced the candles with an eye symbol

Then I realized neither Phazerakt summons, nor skirmishers have the option to bring standard bearers or unit champs or anything of the like

Will still paint it, rule of cool haha

That looks AMAZING. I gotta say, I love this concept more than Nighthaunt and actual Tombkings. It seems a fun way to separate Dry Undead from Wet Undead. Apologies in advance when you inevitably see some stolen Sand Wriaths on my Log

This is superb - it makes me think of the TK special character who was made out of scarabs...goes to quickly google...ah, Prince Apophas! I'd say your model is a significant improvement over the old GW model!

On the planned dragon post - to be fair the Vhordrai pose is superb so that definitely works as well

Ooooh i should do an Apophas proxy at some point as well. Could be a mainly sand dude with some scerbs. <adds to idea pile> And Brandon Fraser while we're at it hahaha.

Dragon will need heavy planning so it fits on the appropriate base. We'll see what fits

Really liking the Tombhaunt crossover, can't wait for the painted versions!

Thanks! Soon

How goes the sculpting Thanakhton_Emissary? Obviously you've spent time on your amazing GB entry (which you're now free to post here), just wondered if your Ushabti were finalised and work on the dragon started?

Hehe, i meant to post just didnt get around to it yet because of work.

SHABTII!


No much progress onthe dragon yet! I had weeks filled to the brim, work was busy, had a lot of events lined up past 2 weeks (cosplay con, halloween, four concerts i attended and usual day of the dead cemetery visitings to put candles on graves), but I did figure out the approximate pose I want it to have

Oh wow, the extra pics highlights the amazing work on the model.....are you sure you can't write up some guides for that skin, metal etc?

On the dragon, yep can definitely see the inspiration from Vhodrai's dragon, and to be fair that is an amazing model, so look forward to see how your sculpt comes along

Brill, would very much appreciate it!

The dragon is indeed looking bootlicious!

 

[Thanakhton_Emissary]

having a rough patch with lack of motivation to sculpt, so working on my skellie archers

this will be the champ, hence fancy bow

i will remember to document how i paint the eyes i swear!

 

[Thanakhton_Emissary]

actually knocked out all of the gold on the skelebois

there isn't much of it on most of them, though, to be honest

not pictured are the 11 other archers

 

[Thanakhton_Emissary]

Glowy eyes!

1) basecoat light color

2) citadel moot green around the eyes and nose

3) vallejo model color yellow green in the deep parts of eyes and nose

 

[Thanakhton_Emissary]

Skellybois done and I'm super chuffed about the banner

 

[Seneschal]

Magnificent skills at work, I applaud you!

 

[Unas the slayer]

I'm at loss for words...

 

[Velmates]

Oh, wow. I love NMM done right - but I rarely see such great work on RnF models. Very nice unit!
