As NWG looms ever closer, it's starting to look like I might get this army done in time after all. Two more marlwyrms join their previously completed brother to bring the unit up to three. The ogre parts I had hoarded were a Godsend, providing the musician's horn, the mantrap, bags, body parts and other bits and bobs. Scibor's Celtic shields really did the trick too. For now, the unit is complete, though I will add a fourth wyrm later on, the
Gáe Bulg wielding Brodar. I have to locate an appropriate barbed spear head.
On the painting table at the moment are five hounds. The colour scheme is based off Celtic mastiffs, and it does look pretty cool if a little fiddly. I have some base work and detailing left to do, then it's the army packing headache and we're off to blood the Fir Domhan at their first tourney as a full army.
Here a couple more images of the completed musician and standard bearer.
I thought one Marlwyrm Rider looked fantastic - three if them: awesome! :)
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to some group shot of the entire army

ReplyDeleteTruly wonderful work Dave- it's always been a highlight of the day to see when you've posted an update- I'll miss them when you're done...
ReplyDeleteAragh thanks Len old buddy! I think you're safe enough there, there's plenty of stuff to add yet...
DeleteAppropriately disgusting, looking forward very much to seeing these in the lots and lots of flesh.
ReplyDeleteThey're all packed, fingers crossed for safe passage to Wicklow.
DeleteYeah they look really amazing, so much character. I especially like the musican, you can tell that he is blowing that horn right before the charge. Truly inspiring unit and army
ReplyDeleteThanks Johan.
