Bad News Travels Fast
Thanks! I learned a thing or two working on it and I've got high hopes for the next two in the warband

It's Monument / Rogue Hobbies dark hot pink for the base coat; recess shade is Scale 75 Eldandil violet (similar to but has better pigment than GW Phoenician purple imo) and the highlights are just good, old fashioned GW Kislev Flesh built up slowly

Thanks! Monument Hobbies "Dark hot pink" doing the real heavy lifting here

Thanks! And yeah good call: I was just joking about this dude being the real Ayatollah of Rock-n-rollah. Personally, the chain isn't as bad as when you get sculpted scales, like on a dragon, etc. for me it goes braids, fur, chain, and then scales, from least to most obnoxious haha

This guy is a Yoke Fiend from the game Trench Crusade: I got the STLs from only-games.co and my buddy printed them on his Saturn 4 Ultra 16k in resin

Thanks!

Yeah I also really like these yoke fiends...probably more than the rest of the warband. I plan to paint most of the Court, but I honestly have no idea what the heck I'm going to do when I get to the locust haha. That model ...baffles me

Yeah! This one is mainly Monument/Rogue Hobbies "dark hot pink", which is an absolutely top paint.

Thanks! It's from Trench Crusade! I initially thought TC was all soldiers and artillery witches, but there's some demons and monster creatures peppered in among the warbands

The Ayatollah of rock-n-rollah!

Thanks! I'm going to try some other figures in the warband to match this guy, and I've got a few more ideas about some hellish effects that I'm pretty excited to try out.

Thanks! I remember when I first looked at the sprue years and years ago and I thought to myself, "it's gotta be green flames on this guy"

Thanks! It took forever! Also, multiple repaints on the left leg, right arm, etc. 😅

Kingdom Death: Monster, so not at all far off. In fact, that's a really really good summary, now that I'm thinking about it haha
