Drukhari: MURMAIDER

Having reached a point with the rowdy goatherds where I felt like it was time for a break, I’ve spent the last couple of weeks finishing up the last few drukhari for my kill team, hereby officially named The Murmaiderers. These flooded chemical forest dwellers have only taken the best part of 6 months to get done, which for me is practically speed painting! Away thee from the Shelf of Shame, and unto the Cabinet of Completion you go.

Gethys Ancarryn, called The Last; Skaithe, Spite-sayer of Anhar Sump, Aenurh Mistdancer

Feiverh “Dream” Vaxal; Ievann Skol, thrice-dead; Yseult Trestyn, The Red Rain
Keryth Malhadris; Xorel Noosewinder; Brythene the Unmaker
Senua Xanthris, Bladewife of Bathor Arena

Drukhari: The Bladewife of Bathor Arena (and friends)

Nothing quite finished to show off just yet (because if it ain’t based, then it’s not finished, is it?) but I did manage to get most of the way there on another three Wyches this week. 3 left and I’m done!

It must be said that pictured here they look like an incredibly disjointed bunch! I always add a few variant colour schemes into my armies & kill teams – it just so happens these are all three of those at once.

L-R: Ievann Skol, the Thrice-dead; Senua Xanthris, Bladewife of Bathor Arena; Yseult Trestyn, called The Red Rain; Brythene the Unmaker; Aneurh Mistdancer; Feiverh “Dream” Vaxal; Xorel Noosecrafter.

Does that make any more sense? Will I ever manage to effectively photograph a model that’s leaning forward off her toe like that? Who can say.

Anyway, I might go back and make young Feiverh’s coral-pink hair a little more noticeably pink, but otherwise I’m pretty happy with them.

Drukhari: dynamite fishing

After an extended Thracian vacation (Holiday in Bulgaria?), I decided to return to my toxic forest friends.

Your standard impaler is kind of a two-pronged, giant toasting fork type of thing, which obviously is designed to evoke the trident of the retiarus gladiator. I decided I wanted something heavier & stabbier, so I nicked a different spear from the scourges and flipped it so that she uses it overhand.

Also:

This blaster warrior got a simple head swap (also from the scourges) and then a hair swap – the braid on the original head would have stuck out a mile and almost certainly broken off as soon as I transported this dude for a game, so I nicked a different haircut from the wyches and now the whole model fits a bit more comfortably on its base.

Anyway, enjoy some cool mermaid hair and be careful in your local haunted forest.

Drukhari: 2nd steps

Retail hell is over for another year! Time to finish building these elveses.

Taking it from the top:

 – Aneurh Mistdancer got a hellion head that I’ve been waiting forever to use on somebody, along with a spear from the scourges, because in this house we use our spears overhand like proper fuckin weapons, thankyou very much.

 – Senua Xanthrys, Bladewife of Bathor Arena was already mostly built, but I added some trailing trophy heads to imitate the train of a wedding dress and emphasize that weird bridal aesthetic.

 – Skaithe, Spite-sayer of Anhar Sump got her gun slung behind her (because really, she’s supposed to be warrior, not a wych). 

 – Feiverh “Dream” Vaxal & Yseult Trestyn, called The Red Rain are the only two completely unconverted models in the kill team!

– and finally, Keryth Malhadrys & Xorel Noosecrafter join the party with a little bit more fire support. Shout out to the kabalite splinter cannon for being one of the worst, fiddliest, pain-in-the-dick GW models I’ve ever had the displeasure to build and a reminder of just how far the company have come in a few years in terms of engineering their kits.

Looking foward to having an opportunity to get out and prime these lads & lasses! Hope you all are doing well.
