02603, Skrug the Bugbear Shaman

[Metalchaos]

Hi everyone, here's  02603, Skrug the Bugbear Shaman. This model was sculpted by Ben Siens. It’s mounted on a 40mm round base and was painted with Reaper's MSP acrylics paint.

 

After a major earthquake shook the mountain range of western Zenitonia, Skrug and his clan had no other choice then move. Their entire lair was destroyed in a dreadful collapse. Dozens of Bugbear died or were trapped under the unstable rubbles, survivors had to leave.

 

Has Hruggek abandoned his fateful worshipers? For, after traveling by night and hiding in a valley of the Vermillion Hills, the horde had to stop by the Lynx River torrents. There, they were decimated by a group of adventurers passing by looking for Belladonna berries. Only two families managed to escape the slaughter crossing the river on a makeshift raft.

 

Belladonna or Wolfsbane berries are very toxic, they are also an essential ingrediant to concoct the cure against lycanthropy. But this is another story.

Very good!

OUTSTANDING! The Big personable Shaman & the equally personable skull on his staff painted up BEAUTIFULLY. I love your color choices AND the base is SPLENDID. VERY WELL DONE!

[Metalchaos]

Thank you. I'm glad you like it. I mostly used dull colors to paint the Goblinoid. I think it helps see some detail better, like the tooth-shape jade gemstone, the magical effect running down its staff and the feathers. Also, I like how the left horn of the ram skull is bended differently. It was a great model to paint.

Another great paint job and a great narrative!

I really like that skull on the end of the staff and how the teeth color is different from the rest of the bone. I usually just paint it all a bone color, but may try this out in the future.

I love the magic effect on the bottom of the staff. Once I noticed it, my eye wants to linger on it.

As expected (after seeing other paintjobs by you) again a great paintjob and yes I also think you made some pretty good colour choices here. Thumbs up!!!
