Gnancy the Gnoll

[Pragma]

Meet Gnancy the Gnoll. A friend of mine had the idea of a gnoll character who was considered too beautiful to live among the gnolls (their patron goddess Lamashtu exalts deformity and ugliness). So she left the gnolls to pursue a life among humans, and became a paladin of Sarenrae - pathfinder's neutral-good sun deity. It was so delightfully incongruous, I had to paint her!

 

 

I started with the bones gnoll warrior, but did a lot of converting. I mended the tattered kilt, and added a sunburst image to the belt buckle. I replaced the mace with a scratch-built scimitar, which is Sarenrae's preferred weapon. But I'm most proud of the shield, which I converted into a giant holy symbol of Sarenrae. Hooray for greenstuff!

 

Now Gnancy and her party are about to begin their quest through Katapesh. I hope to have the others painted soon!

The conversion and paint job both are very nicely done!

Thanks everyone for all the gnice comments :)

 

I am definitely most proud of the shield, which fit over the gnoll's spiked shield just perfectly.

The conversion to give the gnoll the holy symbol of the specific god on the shield, and the weapon conversion are both awesome.
