Tomb Herald on Chariot


Mengel Miniatures

1,501 views

I finally started working on a Tomb Herald on chariot conversion idea I have had for years. This guy is still very WIP and has a lot of work left to be done, the chariot is just a stand in for right now, his will be much fancier. The raised hand will either have a flail of skulls or be hurling a fancy spear. The other hand will be gripping the front rail of the chariot. I'm also thinking of sculpting on a half cloak around his wait of scale armor like his tabard, which will be fluttering back in the wind.

I'm pretty excited about how this guy will turn out. In friendly games I will write a custom warscroll for him, in other games I will just use him as a king in a chariot.

These two images are my main source of inspiration for this model along with the description of Settra's Herald, Nekaph, from the 8th ed book.

This is the first unofficial warscroll for the unofficial Tomb Kings Battletome I am working on. I am working on my own Tomb Herald in chariot conversion and can't decide whether to model with a spear or a flail of skulls, so I figured I would give everyone else the same options. Feedback welcome, as well as recommendations for unofficial points for this guy. Right now I'm thinking 160 just like the king in a chariot.

Expect to see the return of more units such as the Hierotitan, Khermic Titan, Necrolith Colossus with bow or shield, and more as unofficial warscrolls in the finished battletome.

I started sculpting his scale armor half cloak. It's blowing back in the wind from the chariot moving. I will sharpen up these scales with an exacto knife before sculpting the top half. Fairly happy with how they are turning out so far. May put some stray bandages or random doodads hanging from his belt to break up the scales a bit.

More progress on my Herald on Chariot. The herald himself is pretty much done besides his weapon. I'm really happy with how the scale half cloak turned out.

 

I started working on his Chariot to make it fancier looking. At this point I think the one side is done, now I just need to replicate it on the other side. I'm thinking about adding scythes to the wheels, and will need to make his horses special looking too. This will have to go on the back burner soon though because I don't have a base for him yet. I'm also still undecided on giving him a spear or a flail. I kind of like the spear idea because it's more true to how ancient armies fought, but we'll see.
