The Crone and Cavalry

Title reads like a village pub's name.

But it's at least accurate to this post's content.

Was up late finishing painting this mini for my upcoming Barbarian rpg setting. She's made from pieces of the Games Workshop Corpse Cart driver, a Mantic Ghoul hand and the maggot pile is from the latest Nurgle Plaguebearer kit. I wanted her to look as though she could easily blend in town as some deranged street-dwelling woman, screeching out claims of the End of the World, etc. So this version of her is more her real persona, rising to command small groups of undead to eat her enemies, or to throw filthy hexes about her out of spite.

Added some grey to the skin colour to make her look somewhat pallid. Also some different grey to her hair to hopefully help show her advanced aging.

What took so long to paint was her shawl and cloak. Wanted very similar colours, but subtly different. Think it worked out well enough. 

Spending so much time on the street leaves one's once clean garments somewhat otherwise.

It wasn't until I was editing this picture that I realised that a piece of her hair had snapped! Bugger....

I also FINALLY finished up the dreaded CSA Cavalry regiment! Pics are a bit naff though - seemed no matter how much light or little, how close the camera was to them, I just couldn't get good pics of these things. O well. They are done now and I'm happy for it.

Terrible sculpts, but they do look good all arrayed for war.

All I really need to do now is make and paint a matching pennant for their dismounted version Standard bearer.

I think that by finishing up this Cavalry regiment, I earned back another Joker?
