Building a Baggage Train

The undead have no use for cabbages or cargo, so for my Tomb Kings baggage train, I designed a cart carrying a mummified Emissary of the King, and a collection of artifacts and scrolls. Here's a look at how I kitbashed this bespoke centerpiece model.

Modeling Vampire Counts Enchantment Spell Tokens

In addition to the Necromancy spell effects, there are enchantment spells like Van Hels Danse Macabre, and magic items like the Helm of Commandment, which can increase characteristics like Movement, Initiative, or Weapon Skill from 1-3 points. Here's my process for making some Vampire Counts-themed tokens to track these variable bonuses:

Modeling Necromancy Spell Counters

I try to avoid putting cards or dice on the board to represent spells or persistent effects, preferring instead to model a counter of some kind that won't break the immersion of the game aesthetic. Here's a look at how I made some spell counters for the Necromancy spell lore in Warhammer: The Old World.
