YAY!  Clearance items begotten from Game Kastle and I managed to find not one but TWO of the minis from my wishlist in their clearance!!  WOOOHOOO!
 
HERALD OF BLOOD
This golem or construct of the gnomes from deep within the world is brilliantly painted by Martin Jones in the Reaper Catalog:
 

Painted by Martin Jones
 
And while I didn't want his work to influence mine I will be doing at least two things the same:
 
A.
Glowing Runes and Eyes
 
B.
Not Stone Spikes
 
I assembled this gentleman first with the idea of "full menacing pose" so both arms are over his head.
 
And amusingly, without referencing the above image, I swapped his arms.
 
So to start off, here he is Primed, Basecoated in Vallejo Game Color Yellow Olive and the Runes are in Vallejo Panzer Aces Stencil.
 

 
GOAL!!!!
On the base, is a piece of slate and green stuff to simulate cavern floor.  Two fallen or unused mine supports are behind him.
 
What's next ... well, I think the final colors are going to be Purple / Black Granite with a Green under-color.
The Runes will be a glowing Reaper Rach Red .
 
The Spikes will be converted into Crystals.  Which might entail some blunting of the ends to get a more crystalline appearance. 
These crystals will ultimately be Red/Purple or Purple/Green to fit the theme so far.
 
ENJOY and Stay Tuned!
