Here's a couple more muties from Eureka's brilliant (and reasonably priced) Chaos Army range by Mike Darpa. First up is Wilbur the Wild. He's more beastman than Bosch, but I think he's a great little sculpt.

Joining him is Unstoppable Sal. There are so many neat little ideas in this design: the swollen, bandaged feet (I suspect they've gone squirmy), the weird tusk skates (whatever the hell they're for), the tentacles and the look of slack-jawed horror on her face. But perhaps my favourite bit is the old saucepan for a helmet.
I've been knocking these out at pace, as and when I've had the opportunity, and as such I've probably rushed Sal a touch. It would have been nice to lean into her patchwork clothing ala the Marauder giant. As it was, I lazily used the same colours as Wilbur. But that's OK. You see, they're best mates and they were together when they stripped the corpses wearing the green and black uniforms. Or something...
Here's the gang so far.
Cheers
Nice work, they all fit together well.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea about the shoes...
Cheers Mike. It's a lovely little range. There's definitely WFB 3rd ed. vibes, with peasants abandoning mutant babies in the forest, only for beastmen to rescue them and raise them as part of their herd. I guess both are drawing on Renaissance Northern Europe for inspiration.
DeleteAs for the shoes: I'd swear I've seen some weird skaters in the background of maybe a Bruegel(???) painting, but I can't for the life of me remember which one. It's all brilliantly weird, though.

DeleteTruth.
My initial thought was some sort of fake footprints to scare locals, but I am not really sure that makes any sense.
I like it making no sense. Somehow that's more chaotic.
