Crazyredcoat's Crazy Compendium of Collected Creativity
Just imagine I made an amazing snake-based pun here...
The penultimate member of the team is finished! The snek ladies are usually my least favourite model in the range for Daughters of Khaine (I’m just ignoring the Doomfire Warlocks), but they have grown on me a bit. That being said, a mammalian reptile is a questionable notion but this is fantasy and minus the push-fit leaving a few obvious gaps here and there is not a bad mini.
Just went with a simple pattern on the snake part. I'm not planning on having too many of these units in a larger army, so I will probably make the patterns on later minis different and unique and probably go a bit beyond this first mini. Might even change up the main body colour of the snake bits.
I went with a less natural purple hair colour here, just to switch things up a bit and because the snake 'legs' aren't exactly natural. Or is it leg? Not really a tail at this point...seeing as snakes actually have quite short tails...let's stop thinking about that problem...
Tip for anyone who overdoes the starkness of highlights; glazes are your friend. Originally I had some VERY sharp lines between my shaded base colour and my highlight on the bow, but a nice glaze of my highlight colour smoothed it all out nicely. Also shades work quite nicely for eyeliner, if anyone is wondering.
And the traditional Lloyd shot. My Khorne Red paint is sort of drying out right now, so I just decided to do the fletching with Mephiston Red to save what little is still usable...but also to give a different tone to it. Could have picked a brighter colour to contrast better, but I like the idea of the Murder Girls having blood coloured fletching. I'm wierd.Might be a bit of a dry spot for update on this project…and I think it might actually be getting too full as well…so maybe it’s time to start a part 2? Who knows… This project does a lot of strange things for me. The ‘Previous Page’ tab never even appears at the bottom of the page for me… We’ll see what the future brings, but that’s all for now!
