Latest project: Skaven Hellpit Abomination & Beast Handler

[Hobby Services]

Not exactly a new sculpt, but I finally got around to painting this monstrous abomination three years after picking it up in a trade.  Impressive kit, even by GW standards.  Little over the top but imaginative.  If you clipped off the teeny tiny rats on the "engine" it would be a fairly scale-free piece, maybe useful as a life-sized mad scientist's experiment (Victor Frankenstein college thesis project?).

Next on 'Cloning Gone Bad'...

Nice work on the green flames.

And another random old-ish Skaven mini, this one a mutant beast handler.





And here he is with his big pal/science project.  How does he keep that thing under control again?

[Vermis]

He's Throt! That's how he keeps it under control. Nice work.

Oh, is that Throt the Unclean?  I thought he was fatter.  Maybe there was a variant sculpt or something?

[Vermis]

Well, he's fatter in the art and background, but that looks like a standard Throt Mk II.

Are you planning to use them for anything?

Nah, just ebay paint-ups.  Age of Sigmar killed the local Warhammer community stone cold dead, and I haven't been much interested in the game since 4th or 5th edition anyway.  I look at most of the new stuff for the game and just shake my head in amazement at how far the Warhammer aesthetic has drifted over the years.
