Title: Cthonian Larvae
Post by: Dr. The Viking on September 25, 2010, 08:04:40 PM
After going by Vikotnik and seeing his brilliantly painted cthonian larvae I had to paint the one I had at home. I bought it quite a long time ago when Rackham was still a metal miniatures company.

Aaaaaargh... I see now that I forgot to paint the string with which it's sewn together.. Oh well - I'll get that done later I suppose!  lol

Thanks for the feedback!

Now if only the 2nd larvae miniature looked half as cool.. oh well.

I hope I will find out what to use it for at some point.  lol
