I don't understand all the people who are annoyed at Emil for converting up models even if they're OOP. There are thousands and thousands of tomb kings armies around the world already. This is being turned into a one of a kind army that will stand on its own. I think he's creating something even better than the original Tomb Kings ever were, keep it up Emil ❤️

The first piece of GS in the video, the one 'mounting' nagash to his base - for such applications, and general filling in gaps and sculpting softer, organic shapes/fabrics, but not necessarily big, unsupported hanging cloaks, I prefer an 'enhanced miliput'. Standard, usual yellow-grey miliput, take X of part A, X of part B, mix. Now, into that ball you can add anywhere between X to 2X of plasticine, and it will cure just fine + no problems with priming and painting. I use sulphur-free plasticine I have for making molds, but just because it's super soft, softer than standard one for kids. The benefit is that miliput will be less sticky, but softer, smoother in feeling and it can be smoothed with water even better than the standard, non-plasticine one.

@netherane2 жыл бұрын
My honest take is to go real nightmare-fuel on this one. Snap the Skeletons in half, break off Skink limbs and heads, butcher everything. Then go about creating units around patterns, ie a unit of Skink-heads, Skele-torsos, left Skink-limbs, and right Skele-limbs while you make a unit of totally opposite composition.. Mix up some Saurus & Cold Ones in the same way with the chariots, having say a half-Skele-horse and half-living Cold One, or a chariot with one Cold One and one Skele-horse. Heavily lean into the aesthetic as if Kroak and Nagasha are almost warring for control, but both driven in the same direction as they swerve between each other's powers, creating half-living, half-dead amalgamations of their minions, creatures, and weapons. Make it a truly hellish nest of creations that are bound to their masters, as the Tomb King soldiers were smashed into the Skink and Saurus, creating an army that defies the laws of Nature and reality. This could lead to an unholy level of sculpting (pun intended), as you gotta take living parts and make them look genuinely attached to undead parts, but by GOD would that army look fucking cool. A true hellish blend of Seraphon and Tomb Kings would be an army for the ages, as befitting their leaders smashing together in blasphemous cohesion.

No. There is now a poor little box of Tomb Kings sitting on his shelves, all unpainted and accumulating dust...poor little Tomb Kings, I'm sure they don't mind the dust, but being unpainted?

IMO you could just make the lore that they're undead from a region formerly colonised by the seraphon - the dinos have long since gone feral and the inhabitants now worship Nagash in place of Sotek, having been abandoned and cut-off from their former masters. There's tonnes of inspiration to be found in real-world mesoamerican (Aztec/Incan/Mayan etc.) culture in terms of the death gods in their pantheons. There is a skull-faced death God is Aztec religion called Mictlāntēcutli. In Mayan mythology there is a deathly bat spirit called Camazotz as well EDIT: to resolve the loincloth bits issue, you could have decorative items that overlap from the main body over the break in the cloth to cover it, while still letting you paint the two separately.
