so these are mummies you've been writing about for so long...

I really wanted to begin the campaign with a whole gang painted (everyone knows that painted minis get higher dice rolls ), so I really had to push my painting time to the limit. I thought that my band was kind of finished, but Mordheim is a funny game where everything changes soo fast. After first 2 games I know I already need to make a new skeleton with a sword and a hired sorcerer. So even most of the band is painted, there are going to be new characters to join them!

Mordheim game is about searching for wyrd stone, so I wanted to make some counters:

IT WORKS, I CONFIRM!!!
nice to see the gang nearly done - I don't like the levitating scorpion though: why can't it walk?
and until now I haven't learnt what mummies do so far from araby

IT WORKS, I CONFIRM!!!

...especially when you roll for Leadership in Warhammer or similar games

@demi
1. the scorpion isn`t levitating! it is a metter of picture.
2. the have been sent by Nagash to look for wyrd stone.

Generally I don`t like how the mummy has turned out, so I`m think how to change it. Additionally the mummy will get a shield and I am also thinking about giving it a nemes on it`s head.

I know what is their task but reanimating corpses in mordheim appears to be muc easier than transporting about dozen skeletons hundreds or thousands miles

[sea.man]

I have played 5 games with my tomb kings
- 3 wins (2x with orcs, Reikland)
- 2 defeats (high elves shadow warriors, gunnery school of Nuln)
As I already said, this band is far from finish. The core may be finished, but it will be developing until the end. The next one to join me is a mercenary sorcerer.
The mini is almost finished, the only thing it is missing is the lion`s fur. I want to make him look like a crazy warlock from distant Araby.

I like this, its looking good but were the thumb prints on his cloak on purpose? because the regularity of it actually gives the cloak some texture which is interesting since it's very consistent across the whole area.

good conversion, he should fit well with your band, yet is not overly tomb-kingish, so you can say easily it's a hired mage
and do something with fingerprints on the cloak, ok?
