Why does it always have to be snakes? Tomb Kings Armies on Parade WIP

Photobucket

After another late night, we have some Stalkers ready for painting.  As most of you have already seen in the post about painting the interior of the tomb, there are some sneaky snakes coiled around a few of the pillars.  I have had to change my original idea a few times.  This was the first concept:

Originally, the whole unit was supposed to fit into place underneath where the Empire guys were digging that hole.  However, it became very clear when I positioned the pillars in the sketch that this may not work out.  Once I went to the actual board assembly, that was the final word.  I would have to have each of them out "on their own", so to speak.

Now, these are magnetized so that when I need them for a game, they will go on bases already set up for them.

The basic part of the coiled snake is made of Apoxy Scuplt, with layers of green stuff over that.  I had to scale back on my original sculpting plans here, since time's a wastin'!

    1. Thanks for going back and checking out the army! I realized a few months ago that to many folks, they have never seen the Tomb Kings or Lizardman armies! So, time for some reviews. :-)
