The Sow has long been on my list of models to buy, but somehow managed to be out of stock whenever I was filling out an order. Well, no longer.
Because I already have plenty of pink piggies, I went with more more colors here. I don’t know that there exists an orange breed with a dark stripe down its back, but I’m pretty sure there isn’t a three-headed breed either.
I got Alphonse, so figured I’d keep filling out the Wong crew with some Flying Piglets.
These are nasty undead creatures. Not quite so explosive as a Stuffed Piglet, but more oozie.
I added some Plaguebearer Flesh, a GW contrast paint, to random splotches to play up the undead quality. The translucent paint did the trick of tinting things an unnatural yellow-green.
Oops, somebody left this guy’s head in the pot for too long. Oh well.
Alphonse is another new M3E model that I got through the special order program. This one is a henchman for Wong, since Mancha Roja got pushed over to Zipp.
The Void Hunters are the new minions for Tara in M3E. It comes packaged with the Scion of the Void, which I already had, so I got these with the special order program.
They’re on 40mm bases, which I didn’t have a ton of in the Secret Weapon desert mesa style. But I did have a random swag base from Wargamma and decided to give it a go. It fits in well enough.
I don’t know if it’s intentional, but the poses on these models make me think of cats.
My core Tara crew is lightly painted on Wyrd’s translucent plastics, which is pretty much impossible to replicate with just paint. I guess the Void Hunters are a bit more corporeal than their friends.
