Reign in Hell - A tale of dice and demons

I remember painting a Gnoll for Rangers of Shadow Deep. The only comment that stands out to me is that it was a little clean and why isn’t there any blood on his axe? I said that once he damages one of my men I’ll add some blood between games. I only half meant it but this is actually my intention this time.

There are achievements in the game that can be tracked game to game. I think there’s a rule that if a demon keeps on killing Leaders in-game that he should become your leader, but there’s no immediately prepared sheet to record the progress. I am thinking that until a demon kills anyone it gets no blood. If it starts to kill the axe gets gore and then I start tracking their progress. I will make a five bar gate style tally on their base or somewhere easy for me to mark up how many kills they get just as fun for me.

I went with some colour for his under armour cloth with Orcflesh Green Contrast and a Deathguard Green highlight. (No tartan, Celts and Gaels don’t go to hell.)

The Leadbelcher is so grainy but it worked out ok for this battered look to the armour and some Runefang Steel silver caught the edges and gave me some scuffing. On his back he has some awful super glue scarring. (Again, these were probably built by a pre-teen and I am just really grateful to have been gifted them.) I didn’t bother to try and carve it off or smooth it out. Free texture like that on my minis becomes… Battle damage. Rusty and fun.
