Day 9

Well, I didn't slack yesterday; my camera batteries died on me. Really, though, two plus hours of putting spots on the wolfsquigs wasn't that photo-worthy in any case. Still, that bit is done now and I'm pretty much down to smoothing the green stuff, basing and priming. Given my time frame, I'm hoping to get these to a rough sort of evenness, and figure that the painting scheme will have to cover a lot of the flaws.

Much like the wolves, I decided that the boarsquigs had to lose the tails. I was pretty tempted to add big ol' ass-cheeks, but instead opted for a smooth continuation of the general ball shape.

The boar squigs are nearing completion as well, with only one lacking a full face, because I decided that one needed a tongue. I might need to go back and adapt a couple of wolves as well.

I also added lips to most of the models. It seems to add some character, and occasionally gave me a jowly look as well.

Tomorrow it's down to trimming the mold lines off the spiders and all of the various riders, and I hope to throw together a fast conversion of a Gorkamorka scrap prospector into a savage shaman. His unenviable task will be to use his mighty leadership 7 to keep the trollsquigs in line... Anyway, probably no new pics for a while until I make some progress on building the three big models.
