Tomb Kings Skeleton Archers

Here's a look at the handful of skeleton archers I recently finished and added to my slowly growing Tomb kings army...

 

 

The painting of my remaining Tomb Kings models has been slow going, but I managed to finish the first ten archers with their unit champion. 

 

 

All the extra clothing really adds to the painting time, and I was beginning to second guess my color choices on the unit. I initially didn't have any uniformity to their skirts– I painted some with a red outer layer and black inner layer, and had some that were all red or all black, and thought it looked too mismatched. In the end, I repainted some to get them all with a red inner layer and black outer layer, which made them much more uniform and also matched Tomb Prince Selketta's clothing pattern (a red skirt with a black cape).

 

 

You can see how I strung the bows in the post Modeling Tutorial: Bow Strings.

 

 

Here's the army so far. I've still got 20 more skeleton archers and five horse archers to go to finish off my initial 1000 points. I was hoping to have them finished this year, but that's definitely not in the cards. Finishing these guys will definitely be at the top of my to-do list for 2025.

 

 

'Til next time!
