Tapping Into The Warp

Today I opened my third eye and, in order to make sense of the howling insanity of the empyrean, painted a couple of wyrds for, variously, 40K stuff and Necromunda:

On the left, a Bad Squiddo mini who will now work as either a Daemonhost or a psyker in an Inquisitorial retinue; on the right, a Troublemaker Games mini who is now a Necromunda Wyrd

Cwen the Wys is a name I've used a few times in various TTRPGs and even a LARP; it seemed appropriate for this unsanctioned psyker in the Underhive

The combination of ashen-grey skin tinged with an inhuman red, and the bright green glow of the eyes and mouth, and the pose - which is fantastic - all combine to make this mini one of the more obviously dangerous psyker figures I own

I'm really pleased with how the psyker/daemonhost turned out. It's a very simple palette, a very simple paintjob, and the combination of pose and paint have given me a really quite scary little mini who wouldn't look out of place in any 40K game. She'd even work well in a Chaos force or as an objective, or similar. A fantastic figure from Bad Squiddo Games as per usual, props to the sculptor Shane Hoyle.

The Necromunda Wyrd will make for a great and very useful Hired Gun for any Outlaw gang, and is quite intimidating in her own right - I messed up her eyes a bit but they're red, with either running black mascara or some kind of ichor (your interpretation) drooling down her cheeks. And she is, of course, in a quite appropriate combination of tattered overcoat and semi-uniform style blue dress. 

Next up is probably the Count Binface model, and perhaps the Bad Squiddo snake priestesses to go with my slowly growing Song Of Blades And Heroes snake-worshipper band.
