A last few Marauders, and that's the last of my stock of 25mm bases used up. A total of 52 (hoard shot forthcoming), which ought to do me for now!

What was I thinking? And why? The green stuff dried in a rather lopsided pose, sadly,
not what I'd intended. But close enough for me not to fret over degenerate unit filler. |

| Skull iHelm! Now with built-in headphones |
 |
| And that's the Khornate Marauders up to 25 |
I've still got tons more vikings on the sprue. I've not counted them, about another thirty or so at a guess, plus a few more actual marauder bodies. So I'll be adding more in due course, but not for a while.

Joining them are a pair of new spawn. Good to have a few spare, I reckon, just in case. These are conversions of the warshrine bearers, which I liked too much to leave them as mere pillars for something more eyecatching. Nothing fancy, just some spare bits of giant and a touch of green stuff to cover the flat bits where the shrine would usually rest.

Every time I photograph my models, I feel irritated that the old Flesh Wash I use looks so streaky and yellow. It's much better in real life, I'd swear. But I thought I'd try a different approach for the first spawn, using a 50:50 mix of Abaddon Black and Dwarf Flesh as an undercoat then Dwarf Flesh as a heavy drybrush.

He's actually got a horrible fleshy bulb where his scrotum is.
I painted hair on it, because I'm gross. |
It's not great, actually, a bit too drybrushy (no surprise there) and needed touching up a lot. Disturbingly, his buttocks have come out rather splendidly.
The other one draws on my goblin palette:
 |
| Didn't manage a good photo with the whole model in focus, so here's just the head... |
 |
...and here's what's holding it up.
Also, what it's holding up. |
He was a bit monochrome in the end, so he got tiger stripes to break him up a bit. Blue tiger stripes, he's chaotic.
 |
| Might do a couple of stripes on his hump too, not sure. |
That leaves my 'to do' list for the WoC army done! I've had some interest in my hired brush offer, though, so I may have some zombies to do for Kas. Because that's exactly what his Vampires need, more summon fodder.
Fantastic Spawn - that axe in the back is just the cherry on top (so to speak). It looks properly freakish and dangerous (unlike... I'm casting my mind back to the mid-90s embarrassment that was the 'tiger-centaur-with-tentacled-arm' - less a creature of malevolence, more an escapee from the Wuzzles).
ReplyDeleteAnd the Marauder with the goat-skill head and purple arms - I hope you'll be sculpting a mixing deck for him? ;-)

ReplyDeleteAnd why has Kasfunatu got you drybrushing zombies when he claims to be fielding Daemons?
ReplyDeleteIs this another of his 'look-at-my-newly-painted-daemonettes-oops-I'm-fielding-Khorne' bait-and-switch tactics?
I... I don't know! I hadn't thought about it. The Vampire Counts are being fielded, though, aren't they? Maybe it's a second-hand request? Maybe he's discovered a rules loophole that allows Tzeentchian armies to steal spells from the Vampire Counts Lore? Maybe he's fielding undead daemons?
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff! I have plenty of spare 25mm square bases for when you get round to basing the remaining vikings (in fact, I could do with trading for 20mm bases as I've run out!).
ReplyDeleteAh well now, I've got thirty-plus of those! I'll bring them along to the 'Boot. Speaking of which, Stylus and I were tossing a few ideas about for the WoffFluff - don't suppose you're anywhere near picking a team? No pressure at all, just casually wondering (rustles potentially useful army selections under table)
