Maledrakh's B4Core #86 Snake Charmer Nagendra

[Maledrakh]

The snake people from the Bones 4 core set "Nagendra" subset. Nagendra would presumably be Reapers name for the Yuan-Ti snakemen of D&D fame that these would be similar to.

Since I saw them I had this inspiration to do the snakes as the types that the Kill Bill Deadly Viper Assassination Squad use as code names.

Presenting from The Deadly Viper Assassination Squad:

 

 

#86:

 

Snake Charmer aka Bill

I went with a more typical fantasy colour scheme on this one as the code name is not a snake species. I imagine that snakes, being cold blooded (technically they are not actually cold, but  poikilotherm which means their body temperature is regulated by their surroundings, and not heated internally like warmblooded creatures like mammals. This again means that they are sluggish and slow when cold and quick and speedy when warm.)  would find frostfire especially dangerous and deadly.

 

These are speedpaints, and therefore all a bit rough. All done in just a few hours. My work commitments have increased significantly lately, so I do not have that much time to paint.

I might revisit them with washes, lining and detailing at a later date, but for now they are acceptable for the table top. They are all painted from a black undercoat.

 

I made a 32mm base adapter that fits 25mm bases, and used it on these to make the bases more in line with both the size of the models and the rest of my basing for the Bones models.

Great job!

Very much like the frost idea - and well executed with the frost coming down her arms - I would think it might not just do damage but also act as a way to immobilize/capture reptilian foes.
