Agis painted HATE (and AoS) minis - Grashrak’s Despoilers

Agis painted HATE minis

Based on the "Chronicles of HATE" graphic novel by acclaimed artist Adrian Smith, HATE is a board game of brutal combat and conquest in a desolate world of savage warriors. Created by the same design team who brought you the Zombicide series, under the supervision of Eric Lang, HATE combines the gruesome artwork of Adrian Smith with exquisitely sculpted miniatures to immerse you in a universe of cruel survival by any means.”


I really like the very unique comic so I had to support the KS. Having to many other projects I just started now to paint some minis. Above is the main “hero” Worm and a Sarassa warrior plus some trees of the KS.

Worm
In HATEs background, Mother Earth is defiled and is bound beneath the ground; humanity falls from any grace it may have had. Men enslave other men, and a brutal Tyrant rules over many. Mother Earth's spirit engages Worm, the protagonist, who is tasked to free her or bring back her power somehow. The comic follows Worm, a creature “bred for meat,” who stops at nothing to free the Earth Mother by gaining help from unlikely allies and sorcery.

The Tribe of Sarassa
"Not all that grew still lived. The spreading rot bore many abominations, among them the Garric, those parodies of life. They consumed, grew, and survived, yet did not die, save by the blade or fire. They alone captured their stock still living and drank their souls. Insatiable. Mindless. Horrific. Undying horrors in a dying world.
This cursed tribe are not really alive, so bringing them down is nigh impossible. By branch and root, the members of the Tribe of Sarrassa utilize the little of nature that still resists in the Wastes to surprise their opponents with terrible surprise attacks. While undead, the Garrics are a doomed people, so their opponent's best hope is to just outlast them in the battlefield."

Fantastic painting as always. Thanks for sharing.
I'm surprised you started with Wurm rather than some of the big guys! (I just started in on one of mine yesterday)
The Sarrassa guy is very well executed, but I feel the model came out too bright and green. He almost looks like a good guy forest spirit type guy. Again, the execution is great and better than I can do, but the end result feels a little off stylistically. I feel he could benefit from some more dark browns and grays, but that may just be me projecting how I hope to paint mine.
Thanks for sharing, I can't wait to see more!

Perfect, goal reached, I am planning to use the Sarassa plant zombie also in a Sylvaneth army as an evil tree spirit, so your observation is spot on and makes me very happy.

Well that is too funny! He indeed looks like he could fit right into a Sylvaneth army. I'm looking forward to seeing more. I forgot to mention that the trees also turned out great.

 I planned right from the start to also include the HATE minis in other projects.
Eventually some HATE minis will join forces with Warhammer. IMO the Sarassa would work fine as Spite revenants in a Sylvaneth army. To give you an idea see the pic above.

And the first two Beastgrave minis:

After hearing a lot of good things about Warhammer Underworlds I decided to give Beastgrave a try.
1st game is still open, but the minis ARE good.

Where are the tree trunks from?

Where are the tree trunks from? 

As mentioned above, from the HATE KS.

Really lovely work here, I got the Sarassa warband to blend in somehow with my Forest kin types, I don't really play games so it's all about the collecting and the ideas in my head rather than any need to fit with any game system .

The above mini is from the Dreadfane box - Brodus Blightbane. After listening to some of the AoS Gotrek novels I decided that I finally want to paint a Stormcast Eternal.
I am still not totally at ease with the mini design, the shoulder pads remind me too much of 80s Warzone minis.

Anyway, I chose a darker look to also use him as a stand-in for Trachos the companion of Gortrek.
Inspired by the great work here: Blasphemia's Dark Age of Sigmar (http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=116425.0)

Great work as usual mate. Not only are you technically proficient but your color palette really suits my personal taste. In fact, you have a way of getting me to like figures that I originally did not like the sculpt of.

Thanks, and that is exactly what happened to me when watching Blasphemia's Dark Age of Sigmar thtead!
