The tomb in particular is especially stunning. How did you make it?

They came with two head choices each. The bottom right one of mine is helmetless.

ahh you spotted it. im not great at freehand. so very much a learning process for me. the bits I pick up from ebay. im forever checking up on auctions (never buy it nows as they are always overpriced) and just grab whatever collections I can. anything I never need I just sell on afterwards. it ends up costing me pennies and sometimes I sell those bits on for more than I bought the originals :)

Goblin-King wrote:The tomb in particular is especially stunning. How did you make it?

well of course I used the original as the base, then I built the basics of its base up with plasticard, then I covered this base in milliput white (the fine stuff) and sanded it down, this kind of gives a brick like feel. the details are a mixture of bits and greenstuff, the swords were chaos warrior swords, that I then put the ribbon effects over. the skull with wings is some 40k bit and the wreath I believe is also 40k.
