Very disturbing, but in a good way.
Very neat modelling

Thanks! Water is done with Artists oils for base- slapped on to give volume and depth of colour, sealed with a layer of gloss varnish and then LOTS of thin! pours of Johnson’s Kleer floor polish, white water/Lilly pads etc added before last few layers,

Looks rubbish, really rubbish,
until you get the volume of layers on top
Quick and easy to do- but takes a lot of drying time and faith before you get to the end

I’m sure resin would work better but stick with what I know

I do not want to meet the lady of this monstrous host. Just to watch her from a safe distance. All the creatures look suitable horrifying!

I just saw this thread.

Amazing work! Far beyond anything I've done. I'm jealous!

Love the water effect, I'll have to try your recipe.

I love the way you made the Slaaneshi daemon on the last page look somehow more bestial and more realistic through the muted paintjob, which makes it look even weirder/more uncomfortable.

Great thread.

Missed this set of posts up until now, but gorgeous creey nightmare figures.

Looks like most of the smaller figures are mixes of GW plastics, Sylvaneth dryad/tree things and some of the more recent ghosts/spirits/ghasts/etc?

Thanks
And yes mostly based on dryads and a large supply of the cheapish chain rasp/ghosty types from the newsagents reject pile
