Time for a chaotic interlude, not much to see here for faithful servants of Sigmar.
Here is a Mutalith Vortex Beast in all the glory I can bestow upon it. This kit gets a lot of flak on the internet but I kind of like it (though the slaughterbrute head version admittedly is terrible). I don't like the stock pose of waving-and-about-to-fall-over so repositioned one arm which required a bit of shoulder surgery. After some back-and-forth I decided to leave off the vortex thing that should be on its back, the model is incredibly busy as it is.
I kind of like how otherworldy blue it looks. The big horn on the top left and the armor plates right above and below is what I added to cover up the hole left after the arm repositioning. I think it does blend in because again, the whole critter is such a mess of armor plates and spikes and horns.
so many spikes. I admit painting got painful at times. The wall became necessary because I couldn't get the arm to reach all the way to the ground. But, now I like it.
"There is something behind me, right?"
Seriously, being a soldier is hard enough when fighting bad guys with guns or swords. but this? Not sure how the Empire finds recruits. Or maybe these Old Worlders are from a hardier stock than me.
While I was at it I also snapped two pictures of these guys...they took the wrong turn on the Path to Glory.
This is the freakiest part, looks like Gollum failed to reach demonhood:
Finally, just to prove I haven’t given up on the Empire, here are the first of the Scarlet Curs assembling (also some Reiksguard in the background). I want the Curs to look like seasoned no-nonsense soldiers. so few frills, proper boots to hunt down beastmen in the soggy fens of Ostland and so forth. We’ll see how it goes.
That's all for now. No Volganof counter this time, it would be too depressing.
