I’m not sold on the effect, but I also don’t completely hate it – it’d be a good one to keep in mind for anyone wanting to give the roofs of the Sigmarite Mausoleum a weathered metallic look, but perhaps not armour. Commander's Banner. While you are holding the banner, you gain the following benefits when you use your Legendary Action to command a horde:
Horde. The horde can occupy another creature's space and vice versa, and the horde can move through any opening large enough for a Medium infantryman. Additionally, the horde is immune to any spell or effect that would alter its form. In this article we focus on one particular method for running hordes. I selected this one for a few reasons: Skeletal Fragments - Chillwind Point, Western Plaguelands. Starting NPC: Alchemist Arbington. Kill undead skellies around Andorhal and Sorrow Hill and loot them for the Skeletal Fragments. Once you've gathered 15 of those, return to the quest giver for your XP reward and the quest continuation. (lvl 57/ obtained lvl 55)
The spirits – both those on the base and those inside the mount – were based with Celestra Grey, washed with Biel-Tan Green, and very lightly highlighted with Ulthan Grey to achieve the below effect. Given how straightforward this was, I was amazed by how convincing and multi-toned the end result was Likewise, I wrote another article on reskinning big monsters into swarms. This system seems elegant but it fails as soon as the characters try to hit the "swarm" with an area of effect spell. A fireball should be very effective against a swarm yet does nothing special to a single big monster treated as a swarm. The same is true with spells like hypnotic pattern or abilities like turn undead. Against a big monster swarm, its either all on or all off. That isn't ideal. Thus, I prefer systems that still treat monsters in a horde individually. Another Tool for Fantastic Stories Start with one in four and then slide the gauge up or down depending on the situation. This is a nearly math-less way of determining how many monsters succeed or fail that we can do in our heads without the use of a table or tool. Thus, it's the lazy way. Skeletons are also a great way for beginners to practice some highlighting techniques. When I painted my first batch of Stormcast Eternals and started edge-highlighting in light gold, I found the process to be really unrewarding and dull, as gold on gold still looks like gold, so the effect isn’t obvious to a more unskilled painter. I only started noticing a real difference when it came to spot highlighting. But with skeletons, I find the difference is clear from the get-go. After you finish that, you'll be given two quests, though honestly, you only need one for the key quest. Take the one marked Scholomance, which takes you about two feet away to his friend Apothacary Dithers.
The DC for this saving throw is equal to 8 + the horde's proficiency bonus + the commander's Charisma modifier. OverwatchMy other thought is that with doing a double Zenithal, you might actually get better results using Citadel shades or Army Painter shades over it, for the simple fact that those shades are much weaker than Contrasts and the Zenithal will show up much, much better under them. For bone details, I basecoated Ushabti Bone, washed with 1:2 contrast medium to Skeleton Horde, and highlighted again with Ushabti Bone. I wanted to keep a specific tone and brightness for the bone – think of it as “Harryhausen skeletons from Seventh Voyage of Sinbad played on my childhood tube TV”. Steel details get Vallejo Metal Color Gunmetal, washed with Nuln Oil and drybrushed / highlighted with Stormhost silver. On weapon blades, I glazed Nuln Oil a few more times (avoiding the edges) to get the dark metal center I was looking for. Once you get past how delicate these models are, they went together excellently. As usual with Underworlds models these are push fit so you could get away without glue if you so desire. The mold lines are placed in nice obscured parts or are easily cleaned if needed, so building is a breeze. If you want to, you could leave the models off the bases to paint and hold then with a clamp on the feet pegs, but that does risk casualties to broken bones by accident. The Design Odd bits of bone crop up all over the 41st Millennium, especially on Imperial armour, and the Necron Warriors take up the mantle as futuristic shambling skeletal hordes – you just can’t keep a good minion archetype down.
Adeptus Mechanicus: The Adeptus Mechanicus are a faction of human cyborgs who have augmented their bodies with robotic components. Skeleton Horde can be used as a base color for the mechanical skeletons and bones that make up their cybernetic enhancements. While a commander is within 60 feet of a horde it commands, the commander can take 1 legendary action, choosing from the options below, at the end of another creature's turn. The commander regains the spent legendary action at the start of its turn. I've got lots of models I painted with Contrasts over the past year, and I honestly can't tell or remember what primer I used! I was really taken with the deep-sea, almost luminous look of the cape on the box, so I decided t go with the recommended mix of an Incubi Darkness base, a Coelia Greenshade wash, and then a Kabalite Green drybrush and Sybarite Green highlight. i think the effect is spectacular.

Condition Immunities charmed, frightened, grappled, paralyzed, petrified, poisoned, prone, restrained, stunned, unconscious The skeleton horse is an undead mob that is initially neutral, but become passive after their rider is killed. Skeleton horses behave like normal horses, roaming idly and occasionally stopping to rear, swish their tails, or lower their heads as though eating the grass. Unlike sheep, the eating animation does not actually cause any grass to be consumed. Skeleton horses can breathe in water.
In combat, hordes are often accompanied by powerful individuals which serve to direct and empower the horde by serving as a commmander. These creatures should roll initiative as individuals. Commander Eligibility When spawned in any way except breeding – for instance, using commands, spawning naturally, spawning as part of a skeleton trap, or using spawn eggs – horses are assigned their stats within certain ranges, specific according to their horse type.
The Design
When I put Guilliman Flesh over Desert Tan I was surprised how close it actually was to putting it over Wraithbone. The flesh WAS somewhat darker, but not drastically, at least not to me. The characters have extraordinarily high ACs, like the use of a shield spell or some other big boost to AC. This tally idea seems complicated but it scales well for any number of monsters. You can run a dozen orcs this way, or one hundred skeletons, or five hundred goblins and the same system applies. When you command a horde to move, roll a d8. The horde gains a bonus to its Armor Class equal to the result until it stops moving.
Great Deal
