As mentioned during the kickoff of Aegyptus April, the option for August has been picked up and it looks like several other WarGods fans are taking part in this one. So August begins with a conversion of a Young Shefdu and an Asar female who can fill many roles.
From Dark Fable (I think it was the Set worshippers campaign) is an Asar Priestess/Mistress of Words/Witch or whatever. She's a very nice simple sculpt and I think the color scheme lends itself to multiple roles on the tabletop.
I've gone on and on about Shefdu Sootootma in earlier posts here and there will be more of that in the future (Crisis of Infinite Shefdus is happening!). This is a long-awaited step in representing the origin of Shefdu as a young adventurous scribe.
Based on an Anubi Slinger, I chopped off the sling and drilled out the rock in his right hand. His bag full of rocks was carved out a bit for an extra quill and a rolled up scroll. The scroll in his right hand is a glue strengthened strip of masking tape (it's got a good texture for scrolls) wrapped around a length of pin.
To fix the gap where the Tethru head was mounted on the Anubi Slinger body I used a combination of some UV Resin and a couple types of texture paint. The hair in the back isn't good but it looks okay and I'm not going to fret over it because the overall figure turned out great.
I got this idea back a decade or more ago when I was encouraged to convert some Tethru Slingers from Khemru and Anubi bodies. This unit turned out really cool even though my sculpting skills on them were not great, except for the one that I sent to Alex Bates to paint for me- his hair is perfect (the one in the back left corner of the unit).
And here is the growing gathering of Shefdus from throughout the scrolls- the Crisis of Infinite Shefdus!
