Hrud Warriors

Here are the last ten of the Warriors. All Base coated with a single layer of white primer. Followed by a thick black wash. I've seen a bunch of articles on the Internet offering the advice of black or white primer, but this how I base coat. The ink allows for the white to show through to help build up bright colors if need. At the same time it gets in all the hard to reach spots and adds an instant layer of depth and shadow. This set up lends itself to ink and wash painters... but hey, that just my style.

Green stuff is Shiny.

More Hrud Monster mayhem! Hopefully, I will get some paint on these guy this weekend. I hope... the work has stalled a bit for one reason or the other... this week. Distractions where left and right. I will paint this group over the next two days. It must happen as the old ones are waiting. I really did try to take some pictures of the all the finished Hrud warriors, but the darn putty keeps reflecting the flash. It's time to just throw on the base coat... see if that helps it or not. They do have allot of green stuff on them.

So.... I built this thing. I don't know... if i like it yet? Mr. Ilg commented that it looked like a Nid! Which took me by surprise. Mr. Z, thinks it should hover over the ground in some way. It had a horn, I broke it off. It was kinda puny. So... I'll dwell on this one while painting.

Squidmen assemble

This is it gang! This past Sat. nite... I stayed up way too late and spent the time knee deep in green putty. With files in hand... the Hrud Warriors finally have appeared and taken shape. Got all the squid head's done.... all ten! With the add bonus of finishing all face tendrils. I'm 5 Kilts and 30 Hair Tendrils away from finishing the squad.


Now i did take a bunch of pics as i did the work, but my camera skills are not in the same league as my putty. So... most turned out crummy... I will fix that in the next day or so.

They last picture is random. The infestation has grown.... time to paint.
Real squids wear skrits.
