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.
Above, Satsebek with the Queen of the Crocodiles and a Sebeki warrior. And below, she's impressive even next to a Beloved of Sobek, also appearing is one of the Crocodiliopolis Spearmen who is apparently very brave.

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.
