We'll find out soon enough eh.

I'm building a Tomb King-themed board for Mordheim and Rampant skirmishing, but I'm completely stuck - I have all the basic stuff I need like foam, sand etc, plus two of the Arcane Ruins sets from GW, but the detailing part is proving annoying. I'd hoped to find a decent selection of fairly cheap plaster replicas of Egyptian god & pharaoh statues that I could then use plastic or resin skulls to replace the faces...however I can't seem to see either. Best I found were some premade parts from Scotiagrendel and a handful of small aquarium features.

Anyone have any suggestions on where I could find what I'm after? Ideally not outside the EU so I don't have to deal with customs, but at this point I'll take what I can get so long as the shipping isn't exorbitant.

I need to acquire plastic Skavenslaves, can you help?

If you know anyone going to Egypt, I picked up some pieces for £5 a pop.
Or use Ebay to find ornaments:

Also I've started taking photos to use as reference for weathering which can be found here. Please send me your photos so they can be found all in one place!!

dunno about shipping sorry but secret weapon miniatures has sacks of skulls - maybe see if someone like wayland games carries them.

Also Reaper has a some Egyptian stuff you might be able to use if you search their site:

http://www.reapermini.com/Miniatures/Egypt

Some of these are larger miniatures, like the Avatar of Sotar, which make great statues for 28mm games. Many of these are available in "Bones" a PVC plastic that makes the minis quite cheap, especially useful for terrain use.

I would write the sku down, and check to see if they have a local distributor for you, before ordering off the site, just because of shipping costs. If you google the sku/name you might be able to find a site that can ship with a better rate for you too, locally.

Thanks guys, but I checked ebay first and what's on offer there and on the usual websites is far too small for decent terrain. They'll work as alcove/processional statues or wall reliefs, but I'm after stuff that's 8"+ in height to create properly huge freestanding statues, and they need to be in a workable material(ie not metal) so I can turn some into ruins.
