Satsebek Giant Crocodile

This Reaper Bones mini has been based ( it's a 40x100mm base) and primed for over a year now. It's big and in my way, so I finally just hunkered down and painted it. She turned out okay.

My thoughts were to use this gigantic girl for some specific scenario (heck, she would have been great in the Big Trouble in Crocodiliopolis games at Adepticon 2023 Instagram link and another Instagram link) or something. 

I went with a pretty basic color scheme and it was pretty quick and dirty. Luckily, I avoided doing water effects on the base, that would have taken too much time that I would rather spend on other figures.

Ankhara Necropolis Scatter Terrain

I've long pined for those glorious days of the WarGods Ankhara campaign and the aftermath of that epic finale at GenCon. A year or so ago, when I learned of the Necropolis28 game, I started musing on something similar with an Egyptian theme. When it clicked I lost my mind for a bit- Ankhara after the Rise of Khepri would be a  great setting for Mummy vs Mummy games. 

I planned a fancy Necropolis board that has since been put on hold, but it would be cool to have a purpose built Ankhara board. Instead, I decided more scatter pieces needed to be made. I've got several pieces that will fit in nicely with the theme, but more is better. 

This first smaller piece is on a 60mm base. It's got some skulls, a canopic jar from Crocodile Games,  and a sarcophagus top also from the Croc. 

Next comes a couple of sphinxes from an old Kickstarter Egyptian-themed dungeon tile set. They were not as detailed as I had hoped, so the whole set has been in the original boxes for a decade or more. But these sphinxes were good enough to be damaged a little and block movement and line of sight. This piece is on a 100x80mm base.

There's a random mummy with its head in the sand to help spice up this piece, I actually snipped off the head and used it on the first base with the two skulls. A couple shields add a bit of color. 

Finally, we have another 100x80mm base. This one has a single Sphinx on it, it could nicely serve as the objective for the "Riddle of the Sphinx" scenario. This base also got a pile of rubble with a sarcophagus lid. There's a fancy sword sticking out of the rubble and a rogue canopic jar.

These three pieces are hopefully just a beginning to a series of Ankhara-themed terrain. I want to use a few of those dungeon tiles that came with the sphinxes. I also have plans for a few raised areas to add a height component to the skirmish area.

Demigoddess of Poseidon - Argyra

From the Wrath of Kings Kickstarter, one of the main reasons I backed it was this figure. I planned to use her as a Demigoddess of Poseidon. Now I have finally painted her up and she looks pretty good.

There are a couple of mold lines in the plastic that I couldn't neatly clean up. I figured that they were in mostly hidden areas, so I'm not too bothered by them.

Argyra is pretty big, so I put her on a 30mm base so she wasn't hanging too far over the edge. As I was painting, I made her backstory to help choose colors. I decided she was a daughter of Poseidon and a sea nymph. So her skin didn't need to be skin-colored. I thin the mix of blues came out nicely. Once I finally decided on the colors, it went pretty quickly.

Above, we have Argyra with a Demigod of Poseidon (aka "Surfer Dude") and Demigoddess of Artemis. Below, Argyra confronts a hydra.

Tomb Guardians

These two are from one of the Conan boardgames by Monolith Games. I decided they needed to be based on 20mm squares so they could be some special Mummy Warriors. I like having a wide variety of mummies, so they fit right in with the existing mish-mash of Eater of the Dead minis.

They're both painted to match. I usually don't like mummies to match, but I made an exception with these guys because I see them as guards for either a tomb raider scenario or as guards for a Dark harbinger or Necromancer.
