Greetings Terrans, it has been a while again but I have made some more progress on my Slaaneshi warband – I needed 4 Beastmen to complete the band that I initially rolled back in April, so I decided to go big with 3 Slaangors, plus the OG Slaangor ‘Slakeslash’ that came with the Dread Pageant warband. Look at this for a bunch of sexy moo-crabs!

Here they are as a group – a unit I’m unofficially naming ‘Surf’n’Turf’:

These are very interesting models – they are big, (at least Minotaur size in oldschool 28mm scale), but they are slim and more graceful than any Minotaur mini that I can think of. The claws are a disturbing addition, and leave you in no doubt as to which power they belong to, though I find it strange that the one from the Underworlds warband has a ‘normal’ hand rather than a pair of claws… because Chaos I guess? All in all, I’d say these models are a hit.

Painting these took quite a while – there is a lot of detail to get your teeth into, and the full range of textures to play with. I stuck with the purple & the metallic pink, and used a slightly hotter pink as the basis for the claws. On that subject, the claws were particularly fun, with loads of scope for wet blending those lovely Contrast paints. There is loads of flesh on show, and I reckon a better painter would have a great time with tattoos and so on, but that’s all a bit beyond me these days! :-)

Here they are again, with Warband leader Keshala Glimmer-Tongue to show you just what big boys they are:

Anyway, that’s it for now. I’m back on to studying again so things might slow down a bit, but with these guys done, I am free to start up my 4th and final Realm of Warcry band… Blood for the Blood God!!
