Greetings Terrans, how goes it? I have a smidge of progress to share on my Blackstone Fortress set – it has been a really busy time, so not much space for hobby, but I done bagged me a Kroot:
.
This is ‘Dahyak Grekh’ apparently, and he’s a Kroot mercenary, and he’s one of the better minis in the set I think. I had fun painting him, adding some texture to his cloak and generally roughing him up. I don’t know anything about Kroot – this is the first time I’ve ever painted one in fact, so I had no real frame of reference & just went with what felt ‘right’:
.
All in all, I’m pretty pleased with old Dahyak – I may see about picking up the Kroot Killteam to give him a flock to hang with.
Anyhoo, that’s all folks. Another busy week next week, but I’m hoping to get some Warcry stuff done over the holidays.
Leadballoony - It's a lead thing 
Great colours for your Kroot character Alex, this is the only model from the set I have, not the normal colours for the Kroot but I prefer what you’ve gone for. I’m also hoping to get the Kill Team set to finish my force, guess it will be a while before it’s released as a set on it’s own.
Cheers mate – yeah, no rush though, I’ve got a bajillion other things to paint 😂
Oooh, very nice! :-)
Cheers mate, I’m pretty pleased 😊
Fantastic mate, I really like the Kroot – love the colours you’ve used for him.
Cheers dude, I just fancied something other than Krooty-green skin – the yellow seems to have worked out 😁👍
That’s cool! The skin looks great, what a nice contrast with the cloak and stuff. Fantastic job!
Thanks dude, glad you like him/her/it 😊
Nice one and I like how the green cloth contrasts with his skin!
Cheers mate – bit if a gamble that, I wasn’t sure if the colour combo would work well or not, but it seems to have clicked 😊
Can’t say I’ve ever heard of a Kroot but it is a cool figure. 🙂
Yeah, it’s a Warhammer thing – basically cannibalistic avian aliens in space (or something like that 😂)
Anyway, glad you like him mate – he is a pretty cool figure & good fun to paint 😊
Nice work. I love the way that the yellow highlights make the whole mini pop.
Cheers mate, I’m enjoying yellow more and more these days 😊
That is one very fine looking Kroot mate. They always were one of the more interesting races in the 40K universe.
Cheers Roger.
Cheers mate, they certainly occupy one of the more interesting corners 😊
He is really nice- great work.
Cheers,
Pete.
Cheers mate 😊
Love this! Really cool looking. :D
Cheers IM – good to see you back on-line! 😊
Thank you!! ^_^ Good to be back!
Nice man. He almost has an insect type feel about him.
Cheers mate, I agree – and a bit reptilian, and a bit avian… he’s a right old mess 😂
