Kraken Paints

Here's to ten years of squid games! 

In June of this year, we celebrated the tenth anniversary of this blog.

Of course, due to some miscommunication (on account of me telling him wrong), co-founder Kraken Wakes thought it was last year and gifted me a lovely Blood Bowl Skeleton team (they will see the pitch soon, as soon as I paint up my side!).

And because I can never get focussed on any project, the gift that I, Stylus, had prepared only just made it in time before the end of the year.

That's probably a fair reflection of the work output of the WoffBoot blog.

But here it is - now safely transported to Sweden - a tabletop Kraken busily painting away. 

What better avatar than an actual kraken, so I used the Lotann, Warden of the Soul Ledgers model from the Idoneth Deepkin range (oh, that's a tempting range) and replaced the elf head with a human one and greenstuff.

The octopus' tools were replaced with paint cans (although I left him his wicked mould line trimmer), and the tiny space marines were kindly donated by Monkey.

I eschewed any fancy water effect in favour of just painting the texture paint, and enjoyed the surf effect so much, I now want to dream up new excuses to use it.

Here's to another decade of hobby!
