Thanks Azazel!

Bam! That’s you added to the blogroll!

I think the competition was between your Fenbeast and that lovely Hydra. I’m going to be studying yours in more detail when I get to painting my own casting around October time – I really like how you worked to make all the sludgy areas different and distinct, and put all the work into bulding a marshland base. It’s so much further on than the old Studio job!

Thanks for the comments! I almost went with a Gorkamorka Mutie horso (which was another Trish sculpt), but it looked to reptilian and had him look like a Dragon Ogre.

Thanks axiom! I was cautious modifying the sculpt, as it felt slightly against the spirit of the competition – a bit like changing the words to a song when you do a cover version. But I was desperate to make the “tzebra” joke, and had to get the miniature away the generic unaligned Chaos look. Glad I got to show that the stripes were done all over, and not just from the one competition shot. (Though I’ve done a few minor changes since the competition, like the gem on the shield and more tufts.)

It was a truly fantastic entry into a challenge full of wonderful figures.

I really need to do a write up of the Fenbeast for my much ignored blog. A lot of my hobby posting ends up on Instagram now just due to ease, but I think it’s something I should really try to document for posterity.

I’m still pondering what to actually do with the figure I received from Trish too, it’s got to be something special for a unique figure.

Thanks Nico! I’m surprised the join came off – there was only a tiny bit of gap filling with plastic putty to do, and the big strap on the original Trish sculpt disguises the transition.

Cheers Warb!

Thanks Suber!
