Kill Team Terrain - Bheta Decima

Image
  Bheta Decima is the new Kill team terrain for season three, it comes in a box that took me ages to get hold of. I pre-ordered in December and got hold of a box in March, having cancelled my original order.  I like the look of the new terrain, a sea of nasty stuff and some platforms to jump around on. The plastic bits were pretty mould line free with minimal construction, I sprayed my stuff black and then I sprayed the legs and furness with grey in a rather lame attampt at a zenithal.  The legs I just washed with a sloppy wash I mixed up, kinda blacky brown, then added a few extra streaks and a bit of light grey dry brushing. I sprayed matt varnish on them all and then added some gloss medium at the bottom to prepresent it being wet. The top got a sponging of deep red and then a lighter sponging of light red. Followed by further sponging of black and silver. I then touched up the recesses with some silver and then a dark brown wash in them.  To give it a bit of colour I added some red

Image
  Here's my list of painted figures for 2023, 226 figures across six games. I have been apinting stuff primarily for Kill Team, but there are a few items for Necromunda, Saga, Turnip28, Necropolis 28 and Warmaster. No DBA elements at all this year, I need to get my NKE finished off...

Sludge raider Ogryn

Image
 I needed an Ogryn for my sludge raiders, I couldn't find anything that really fitted the bill. So I made one. I printed up some arms, legs and a head and then made up a body from air drying clay. A quick coat of PVA and then it was painted up. I added a little rearing goat from Knucklebones just cos it's a super little figure. The figure is pretty massive and quite imposing on the field. He's done very well as a meat shield so far, especially when teamed up with the Corpseman and rocking a 6+ extra save.

Complete? Sludge Raiders

Image
Recruited straight out of Wiltshire's dankest village, the Sludge raiders have devoted their foetid existence to the furtherance of chaos across the known and unknown universe. Travelling from kill zone to kill zone via the vagaries of the warp. Becoming more twisted and sodden with every jump. They arrive with the rains, torrential downpours of acid rain turn fields to mire. The stomp of hobnailed boots turns the mire into sludge populated by the maleavolence of the raiders. Your land is our murk, our boots crush your feeble resistance and out knives slice the puckered skin from your failed existence. These figures are based on 3D prints from Knucklebones miniatures. I have mirrored and chopped them up, added bits and bobs and sculpted a bit of anatomy here and there  The Ogryn bits were again 3d prints and I stuck a lump of clay on them to create a greatcoat. I wanted a dirty brown, sludgers look inspired by Mad God and a WWI aesthetic. I'm contemplating adding the 20th opera
