I know “it’s magic” is a lame excuse, but if you’ve made dark pacts for necromancy and bone crafting, and want to make a point by displaying a corpse prominently, you going to let reality and the laws of physics get in the way?
I think not.
Thinking about it again, I feel that I’ve seen this setup before. Old black coach?
The "spear" looks crafted in one piece with the shaft.
Also looks like it could be part of a chaos star vehicle decoration.
My conclusion: Traitor Guard tank upgrade.

"Talk back to me again and I'll make you eat that bloody spear. Blunt-end first."
What's the 'teardrop' shaped mass where the skeleton's right arm should be? Is that meant to be cloth, like the remains of a shirt or coat?
Also, the wound to the side of the skull could be a bullet-hole.
I doubt it is for 40k though. They wouldn't miss the opportunity to add cybernetics or recognizable faction armour (almost certainly guard) to a skeleton.
I actually thought that could be a thing and googled it. For that humiliation alone, I will be making an anti-anti scalpers group, where exclusive models are sold for unreasonable prices. I shall call it Evil Bay. Or E-bay for short.

In WFB, no. Nor have dragons been mentioned in the history of Khemri. And anything bigger than "normal" for Tomb Kings is a construct. Even the giant skeleton that the Tomb Kings had was a construct instead of just the skeleton of a dead giant.
However, as someone else noted, there was a "zombie dragon" in the Warmaster Tomb Kings list. So a Tomb Kings dragon wouldn't be completely without precedent. Still unlikely, though, imo.

You are forgetting that the blade is quite thin and you could do it quite easily at a diagonal. As someone who has worked a lot with human remains, you'd be amazed at how easily it is to manipulate them.
As for the what army is this - whatever is the undead in AoS these days.

Yeah it does bring that piece to mind.
Very coincidental that the black coach has a 40 years of warhammer article on the community site this week
Saw that, and it saved me the trouble of digging around for my old coach. I remembered it had a skeleton on a spike in an unusual way, and wanted to check vs. the rumor pic. But the old kit was not a though the mouth spike, but through the ribcage.
