Somehow these 2 miniatures took well over a week to paint. Still, the fantastic ’50 models in a month’ run had to end at some point. I think I’m looking at an unofficial target of 500 for the year, which should be achievable and leave me with just a few ‘big armies’ to paint in 2014 (well, that is until new games come out/Kickstarter deliveries come through).
These snakes complement the slaves/apostates I painted earlier in the month and leave me with just 6 Ophidians to paint to get the whole warband done. The armour/cloth/weapons are done in exactly the same gold/purple/grey/purple wash scheme as before, I couldn’t decide between green and blue for the scaly skin so tried both. I prefer the green but I think the rest of them will still be mixed to make them stand out a bit from each other (the two models are the same but with a head swap with a warrior and posing of the tail – I’ve got 2 of each of the Ophidian models and have done similar on all of them).
Challenge Tally: 384/300
