Spined Thresher Monster

This big thing was a nice surprise at a local game shop earlier this year. It was marked down so much that I couldn't NOT get it- and there's a different posed one that I haven't assembled yet. I want to eventually have a totally chaotic warband of Titans which either means a ton of conversions of the available miniatures from Crocodile Games OR going outside of those for other monsters. This find should fit in as a Titan Overlord or something.

It's a nice chunky plastic figure that went together pretty easily. I think there was only one obvious mold line that needed to be sliced off.

The base was completed first- it's a 60mm mdf base. I put some scraps of my favorite temple floor stuff down and slapped on some texture paste so it was obviously a ruined building of some kind. It was a series of drybrushes and some target washes to make the stones pop and give the rubble some more definition.

For the Thresher itself, I went with lots of drybrushing and a bit of targetted washes to make his muscles and other nice details stand out more. It was a pretty quick paintjob- probably only a couple of hours altogether. I think he came out good for a giant crab/demon/scorpion monster.

Above we have the Thresher with a copuple of unfortunate Corinthians. Below, a Beloved of Sobek is enthusiastic about the challenge this big thing represents.

And here's the Thresher confronts the Amazon Raider Heroine Kylissma. An epic battle that they'll write songs about ensues...
