“Beware the Jabberwock, my son!”
May’s Monsters - Borogroves and Beastmasters
Well we are now entering May and it’s hard to believe that it’s week five or is it six in lockdown? Weekdays merge into weekends and it I hadn’t been mothballed work-wise and didn’t have model making and painting to do, I’m sure I would have lost my marbles by now! This hobby is so therapeutic, everyone should give it a go…
Anyhow, another month and another mini project to focus on. This time I’m going back to find some more monsters. The Borogroves from the tale of the Jabberwock are described as beaked and bird-like and gather in numbers. Well I don’t have a load of chickens but I do have three Citadel C22 pre-slotta Scorpion Dragons that are suitably small enough to act in a crowd but large enough to be a little vicious. I see them as a group of raptors with their beaked heads, wings and stinging tails.
For the Beastmasters, I will use two 40K Inquisitor Acolytes and will change their iconography from the side of good to chaos. One Beastmaster can command the Borogroves, whilst the second will be guarded by another monster from the tale of the Jabberwock – to be revealed as I progress, but suffice to say I will mount this second one on a watery Foundations of War 100mm round base that I’ve found in my bottomless bag of holding.
