Well I blame good friend Mister C for this, off I go painting yet another new army. This one is for Kings of War and is the Empire of Dust; a sort of undead ancient Egyptian army. Mister C suggested we buy an Ogre/Empire of Dust starter set and split it so we went with that; an excellent way to each start a new force. A few weeks later and I have painted all the figures from the starter set and a couple extra so here are a few photo's of my progress so far.
Everything I have painted so far, marching off to find some Ogres to kill.
All desert scenery has been 'borrowed' from my Bolt Action Afrika Korps collection and it seems a perfect fit.
My characters pose beside my regiment of revenant cavalry.
Note I have only used 8 of the 10 figures supplied, based in 4's (troops).
A regiment of skeleton warriors.
Here I have used 16 figures for the regiment and to me, they fill the base nicely.
A troop of skeleton spearman, 8 figures on the base.
Two troops or one regiment of skeleton archers.
The characters, a Cursed High Priest (from MaxMini), a Mantic Ahmunite Pharoah and an Army Standard Bearer which is from a unit of MaxMini mummies.
Next up will be some Enslaved Guardians and Scavengers (both from MaxMini). MisterC also suggested we get another starter set which we have done, doubling the basic troop types I can use. I will adapt some of the cavalry into mounted characters and Skeleton Archer Cavalry and will definitely paint up another troop of Skeleton Spearmen so I can make the existing one into a regiment.
