Citadel ADD79 Mind Flayers, variants 1C, 2C, 3C.

Skin is ProAcryl Faded Ultramarine base, Contrast Ultramarine wash, mix of the two, then highlighted mix with ivory, and mix with GW Bloodshade.

Not because I think there's demand for a good Illithid skin recipe, but so I'll know when I get around to the other six.

Colours based on a piece of Wayne Reynolds art.

Rogue Trader RT603 Ambull

Rogue Trader RT603 Ambull

Bought this one new as a kid! It languished in poorly painted state (basically some cheap krylon tan with a brown wash) until I stripped and repainted this past month.

Opted for a classic style, though I was tempted to make it match my tyranid scheme.

Backdrop by Jon Hodgson, terrain is pretty standard foam spires and cactus, textured and painted up appropriately.

Citadel DG6 Tom Meier's Zombie Dragon

Citadel DG6 Zombie Dragon, sculpted by Tom Meier.

Currently you can still get this one from Ral Partha EU, but the one in the photo is the old lead one from the boxed Citadel set (which happens to have my 2nd fav piece of art by John Blanche).

I started this project back in 2024, but only got around to finishing it this month.

It's a lovely sculpt, with oodles of ridiculous detail. Because I'm a gluttony for self-punishment, I added even more detail to the base:

  • Ral Partha rat
  • Ravens from Crocodile Games
  • Resin branches and tree stump from Epic Basing
  • Resin skulls terrain piece from FW
  • Self made cattails/bullrushes and mushrooms
  • Obligatory lots of plastic GW skulls

Quite happy with how he turned out! He'll do quite nicely as the centerpiece to my Citadel undead army.
