Fish Gotta Swim, Goat Gotta Fly

Even Chaos bird-goat-men need someone to boss them around, and this guy is at the very top of the pecking order...

It's the Tzaangor Shaman!

This guy has already made his battle report debut. I'm not going to mention the time he managed to beat up a Chaos Lord with a Murder Sword, but did I ever tell you about the time he beat up a Chaos Lord with a Murder Sword?

Surfin' Bird

Since I was already in the swim of painting Tzaangor, this was an easy enough add-on. Although the top of his staff proved to be quite fragile whenever he fell over (which he did a lot - this is a precarious perch), so it's now held together with wire and a lot of greenstuff, which is not quite as graceful as the rest of the spiralling staff.

To make him a little easier to transport, I planned to magnetise him to the disc - although rather than have a complete Shaman model that pegs onto a disc, this sculpt comes with feet moulded onto the disc, and a Shaman that ends at the ankle (why do you do this to us, GW?)

So I duly added magnets to the ankles, and this Shaman now has some furry fetlocks made from greenstuff to cover the join (good job they're a melange of animals).

He's the same basic paint recipe, although I went with albino-skin to make him stand out.
