Shinobi's first Skarrd - Grafter & Kaustic

[Shinobi]

Once again, these look much better in real life (honest!!), and the varnish is not really that shiny.......

My Skarrd are being painted with brown skin, kinda like an African / New Guinea Tribe since they seem to share certain aspects of those cultures.

The happy couple:



Grafter:



Kaustic:





Next up will probably be Hoodoo since he's half-finished, but I am tempted to do my Contradiction.

Hopefully the rest of my Skarrd order will turn up soon so that I can get all the Skarrd Demo force done.

Two of my favourite skarrd sculpts (next to Hoodoo and the Abomination). I like the brown skin and it makes more sense from a fluff viewpoint. I went for white because its easier to make them look all diseased and nasty if they have pale, sickly skin.

What else have you ordered?

[Shinobi]

Loads!!

Buzzers, 'Might' Buzzers, Bolas, more Harpies, Golabs.........

I have Grafter (painted), Kaustic (painted), Hoodoo (base-coated), Abomination, Chitin, Father, 2x 'Might' Buzzers, 2x Toxic Mistress, 2x Harpies...................... but really waiting for the Bolas and extra Buzzers to arrive to get a balanced Demo force ready!

Hopefully they'll be here soon

Those look great! Props for thinking outside the box with that skintone.

Hum... interesting line of thought. In what respect?

[Shinobi]

Tribal culture, cannibalism, minimalistic clothing approach, desert locale..............

Hey being soul-brothers does make more since than the whiter-shade-of-pale Skarrd and the figures look sweet. I am always a fan of alternative paint jobs.

Just remeber that the Samarian sun gives off no ultra-violet radiation which is why people are so pale in Brom artwork.

Huh???

Bugger!

Then its.................... errrrrrrr................ warpaint, yeah, warpaint like the woad stuff the Celts used to use, only its..................... errrrrrr brown, yeah brown like s*censored*t, easy to find, plenty of supply, and has good effect on enemies in HTH..............









Hang on..................... isn't the studio St John of African colouring?

I'm just joking that you can explain away anything in sci-fi even desert roaming albinos.

LOL, thought so, I was going with the flow
