One of the areas of Carnevale I haven't really gone into yet is the wackier and more monstrous sculpts. As such, when giving instructions for potential Christmas presents, I asked for some 'big-gribblies' from the Rashaar faction.
Mrs Cheaphammer is not afraid of wandering into my FLGS asking questions for which she has no context and so I received a pair of Lesser Ugdru as part of my gift.
Admittedly, Lesser Ugdru are not the biggest of gribblies available to the Rashaar, but they are definitely gribbly.
Also, I may already have two from the starter set, but they are the sort of thing that it feels right to have multiples of, and they are different sculpts too.
I was delighted with this gift.
When I came to painting them I wanted to ensure they matched the two I already owned. Fortunately, I'd meticulously listed the paints I'd used on them when I posted almost three years ago.
As I still had all the necessary paints, it was an easy recipe to follow.
The only bit of awkwardness came from one of the bases, as I needed to reclaim one of the 40mm resin bases from another miniature, and as such there were chewed up bits that needed masking.
The leaping Lesser Ugdru's foot (his ankle REALLY worries me) sorted one of the ugly areas whilst a small pile of gubbins from various sprues and bits boxes did for the other.
All in all, I'm pleased with these two, but I do still want some bigger gribblies.
Finally, I've got around to painting the third of the pack of MDF bridges I bought for the game when I first got into it.
Again, I've tried to match styles I used three years ago, and I think I've been successful.
In other news, I've managed to sell a chunk of old metal Blood Bowl miniatures, and so the Lead Mountain has taken a bit of a hit. I'm really hoping to make inroads into it this year.

Excellent work on the gribblies, and hope you get the bigger ones to show us as well. great work on the bridge.
ReplyDeleteThanks. I think if I want big gribblies, I might need to source them myself.
Deletenice, can't wait to get started on my own Carnevale minis
ReplyDeleteOoh, what have you bought? The starter set or a specific faction?
