Lucio Posted January 2, 2019 Share Posted January 2, 2019 Clan Grots are a rich tribe, harvesting rare fungi and lichens that grow on the edges of the magma vents. Their darkened skin a testament to their living conditions. They prefer to wear red or orange robes, dyed with the local fungi to better blend into their surroundings, though some wear blacker robes due to the perpetual scorching heat. The tribe isn't numerous, due to dangerous nature of their home, but is well equiped as their wares are in much demand with other tribes. So they tend to make up their numbers with squigs grown in the cooler, darker recesses which tend to bright yellows or purples having grown in areas rich in sulphur and potassium, and in areas where realmstone accumulates they cultivate a good relationship with the troggoths that make their home there. To get started, we've got the Fungoid Shaman, who I've based on both a normal base, and an optional scenic base with a Scuttling servent who fetches his master's potions. The blue base is magnetised so it'll come away neatly and fit back securely when necessary 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucio Posted January 5, 2019 Author Share Posted January 5, 2019 Based on the advice of a friend, edged the base in black 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucio Posted January 10, 2019 Author Share Posted January 10, 2019 I'm not getting a lot of free time to paint, but posting a WIP shot of my Loonboss with Giant Cave Squig, along with the magnetised scenic base for the Fungoid Shaman 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucio Posted January 13, 2019 Author Share Posted January 13, 2019 Bit more work on the boss. With the tome out, decided his head crest is a Badloon Bossfungus and his weapon is carved loonstone (it'll eventually get a gloss finish to distinguish it from the fungus) Not getting a lot of painting time, as my hands are particularly bad at the moment but slowly making progress. Once the boss is done, Squigs are next, sulphur yellow is the goal with those 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucio Posted January 19, 2019 Author Share Posted January 19, 2019 Finally got him finished. My Loon Boss with Giant Cave Squig was just once a lowly Squig Herder for the tribe, until he was infested with the spores from a Badloon Bossfungus. As the fungus burrowed into his brain, he started to get ideas on how to attract bigger and bigger Squigs, using a cauldron of some of the tastiest fungus to recruit snotlings, who he used as bait to lure out the best squigs the clan had seen. He claimed the biggest, nastiest one for himself, affectionally calling it Slobba, and his Moon Prodda's sickle shaped blade helps him harvest foes heads as easily as it does funghi. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucio Posted January 21, 2019 Author Share Posted January 21, 2019 A couple of Squigs. I went with yellow as I figured that the fungus that spawn the squigs would absorb a lot of sulphur, and pick up the bright yellow colour 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drizug Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 Really nice loonboss with squig. Can I ask you what kind of base did you use?and what size? Keep up with this great work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucio Posted March 23, 2019 Author Share Posted March 23, 2019 Been a while since I last updated, have had problems with my hands due to a trapped nerve that's made it hard to paint. Still, got a few more done! My Fungoid shaman and detachable scenic base, plus Zarbag himself and a few of his gits. If you're thinking "that's not Zarbag" he donated a couple of parts to my Loonboss with Giant Cave Squig, but I think my kitbash with what's left feels a lot like a grumpy old Madcap Shaman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucio Posted April 14, 2019 Author Share Posted April 14, 2019 Taken a while but finally have Mollog's Mob all painted up. It was a challenge finding a flesh colour for Mollog that matches the Aqshy theme of the force but I think I hit the right balance. Also included a group shot of Zarbag's Gitz Now onto the "Night Goblin Command Squad" and the terrain piece 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucio Posted April 21, 2019 Author Share Posted April 21, 2019 A tribe isn't a tribe without a home. Building some terrain pieces to accompany the tribe, the ruins that they inhabit. This one is the test piece for the colour scheme and technique 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucio Posted May 18, 2019 Author Share Posted May 18, 2019 Sir Snagboing de Splatt, a Loonboss on a Giant Cave Squig had a vision once in a fungus brew induced haze. He saw a horde of knights with fluttering pennants and big crested helms ride down a horde of Stabbas. The Madcap Shamans told him it was a sign from Da Bad Moon Now he and his Knights that go Booooinnnggg all wear similar helms and practice this shivalry (stabbing people in the front not the back) 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucio Posted May 25, 2019 Author Share Posted May 25, 2019 Next set of ruins is done, this one I was particularly happy with the brickwork on What I may go back and do to these pieces is add some fungi growing from the edges to better represent it as Badmoon territory 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucio Posted August 5, 2019 Author Share Posted August 5, 2019 Been a while but managed to sit down to paint my test model for the Knights that go BOOIIIIINNNGG First time trying quartering, it's worked out quite well I think Other ideas to try will be checks and chevrons 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EpicMowse Posted August 6, 2019 Share Posted August 6, 2019 These look wonderful, can’t wait to see the Knights that go BOOIIIIINNNGG when they are all completed. I love the color palate that you’re running with as well 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
