CRC's Crazy Compendium 2; Eclectic Boogaloo
Meet Elskling; She's NOT a Marine!
Her glorious hair wouldn’t fit in the helmet, for a start. But here she is! GW gave a name like Morgwaeth, or something like that, but Elskling is a character name I keep using in Warhammer Total War when I play it, so that’s the name I’m going with for this one. I have a Sorceress mini in the same colours called Cosmic for a similar reason…though I can’t type her original last name here… Anyway, silly names aside, this completes my Shadespire team for the Murder Girls which has taken a fair bit of time to paint 5 minis… I don’t recall if I started them in this project or last year’s project, if I’m honest. Anyhoo, here she is:
I really like the red and purple combination for colours on these ladies. The red is Khorne Red shade with Agrax Earthshade then layered back with Khorne Red and highlighted with Wazzdakka Red. The Purple is Xerus Purple shaded with Druchii Violet (approriately) then highlighted with Genestealer Purple.
The rocks on the base are something I'm aiming to make look like weathered obsidian, hence the vitreous lustre (see 'shiny') on there. It's a fairly simple basing and will eventually have some grass tufts put on once I get more of them.
She would have been a little easier to paint had I not fixed her hair in place before starting to paint...but I thought a snap-fit kit would be easier to pull apart once I'd put it all together and it wasn't...
And the traditional Lloyd Shot, with a modest covering of massive hair!
And that's the whole team finished. Now all I need to do is actually play Shadespire again...or get more Murder Girls for an AoS game...but the Shadespire game is more likely...
