Thanks for the kind words everyone!

That purplish hue is reserved for only character models; the nameless rank/file will just look more like ancient, dry bones. Once I actually paint a rank and file I'll put it up (the necrosphinx is next to be finished though).

Very impressive; they look fantastic.

I too am presently doing a TK army; it always good to see what others are doing for inspiration!

EDIT: Would you mind posting your recipe for painting the models? I'm especially interested in techniques for bone, bandages and metal (as I'm just starting my tomb guard), but I'd appreciate a complete recipe if you don't mind sharing/typing. Thanks!
