Pegasus Hobbies make some good quality, very low cost scenery items and when it comes to buying robust scenery for a club, they are a must have. The only problem is that they are sometime hard to get in Britain.
When I completed the statistical analysis of what scenery you were likely to roll in an 8th Edition Warhammer game, it showed that you have a 59% chance of needing a river. Playing since the edition was released has confirmed we needed to buy more river...
So we set about getting two river sets. One set is just a little too short to covers a gaming tables needs.
When I say getting the river sets is the only problem, that is not quite true, the other one is that they are a little too brightly painted for my liking.
So I set about toning them down a little..
First Job, add some sand:
This photo shows two sets drying in my back yard. As you can see here, you get two 45 degree bends, two 12" straight lengths and two 6" length in each set.
The next job is just to paint in the normal way, flock and add a bit of water effect...
Voila:
The plan is to go for Dominar Rasheth as my Warlock, if I follow through on this, his tier list means that I can have more than one agonizer. Therefore it is time to splash the paint at these guys. I have decided to paint up two...
Agonizer A
I believe that it is commonly understood that these animals have lived a life of suffering. Don't fall for it. I think they just want the sympathy.... They love a little attention and will try their best to whimper at just the right time to attract it.
To try and reflect this attention grabbing behaviour I have given them big round eyes which I have then gloss varnished. I have then varnished under the eyes to make it look like they are crying. It looks better in real life, but I think you can just see the effect in these photos.
Agonizer B
There is a limited amount you can do to the posture of these guys to make them look different, so in this case I have avoided making too many changes.
The paint system for the skin matches that used on the Titan gladiators (agonizers that are allowed to grow). This is a colour scheme taken straight from white dwarf 362 for minotaurs, however I have kept it quite dark. The scheme is 1:1 scorched brown and Tallarn flesh washed with 1:1 scorched brown and badab black. This is then layered up through 1:1:1 Scorched brown, Tallarn Flesh and bleach bone through to 1:1 Tallarn flesh and bleached bone. These are then given careful washes of Devlan mud, Baal red and Leviathan purple.
Last week I started my second titan gladiator and had a go at a Celtic flag design. This weekend she is finished....
OK, I have not quite finished. The flag is no further progressed, but it is as far gone as it is going to be until I regain a little more courage to finish it off. As stated previously, there is almost no conversion work on her, she is just as she comes from the box. The only real change is that I have stuck with the green and gold colour scheme adopted on the first of these girls that I have painted.
Hope you enjoy, constructive criticism, as always welcome...
