“Beware the Jabberwock, my son!”
Beware the Jabberslythe my son!
A bit of a delay but January’s monster is now finished. I kept the 120mm oval base and mounted the Jabberslythe as if he was clambering up the rockface. The rocks come from garden decorative slates and polyfilla was used to fill in the gaps and create a rougher surface for the open space on the base. The rocks were painted black and highlighted and washed with Drachenhof Nightshade and Thraka Green.
The open space on the base became a water pool using Baharroth Blue, Lothern Blue, Scorched Brown, White Scar, Drachenhof Nightshade and three coats of ‘Ardcoat to give a glossy shine.
The knight with the vorpal sword is from Citadel Minuatures Oldhammer F4 Paladin Sir Errol de Swash but I wanted to choose a character that was a close resemblance to Michael Palin who played Dennis Cooper, the reluctant hero in Terry Gilliam’s Film Jabberwocky.
Hope I’ve done it justice? Hope you enjoy the miniature duel.
Jabberslythe
