In the beginning
I made some resin forest bases (these have now been made into 25mm round bases)
I painted some test models, Grots and Squigs and these turned out okay.
I cleaned all the mould lines from the models prior to carrying out a mass undercoat and base coat using an airbrush. To do this efficiently I pinned each model (I will be using homemade forest resin bases) with a long paperclip to a cork to create a cork spraying carousel. See image below.
I love the Fellwater Troggoth models but wanted greater variation in them so I set about converting them. I also sculpted hair onto the backs of their necks with greenstuff to tie them in with the original metal models and to cover up the smoothness of the neck. I added fanatics being molested and changed some of the weapons and arms.
I have completed five Fellwater Troggoths so far.
I also set about converting the Giant Troll Hag from Forgeworld. I added branches to the tree walking stick and added some ornaments to it. Hair was added from the Gorgon kit. The idea with this piece is that Bog Momma is chasing the squig hopper who has a bunch of flowers in his hand. This is to lure Bog Momma to war through the forest. All the forest creatures flee before her as she tramples her way through the forest leaving a path of destruction. They are also fleeing from her stench. She craves 'pretty things' and things which may make her smell nicer but she inadvertently kills everything with her foul odour. Pictures are of the finished model although this requires rebasing.
I have completed the Squig Hopper unit with its scenic regiment tray. This maybe used during games of Aos to speed up unit movement so I have added a leaf litter insert into the bottom of the tray for when models are removed. I intend to do this with all the massed infantry units.
I am currently working on the Forgeworld Colossal Cave Squig which I have converted. WIP mages will be posted on Twitter @bishmeister1 and here once completed.
Thanks for looking.
