Wyrd traditionally releases a limited edition gender-swapped ‘Miss’ model at Gencon. Usually this takes a male character and reimagines it as a female with a clever name like Miss Deed or Miss Feasance. For 2018, they went the opposite way and made this male Shikome. Since I painted up Kirai, it’s finally time to put him together.
I quite like the giant wings, though I wish they rested a bit more evenly on the base (or maybe I didn’t quite align them correctly).
Kirai offers a chance for a different take on the Resurrectionists than the zombies of McMourning.
Kirai herself is a more refined model, with a fluid pose and incredibly large shears.
Datsue Ba has a cool octopus lamp.
Ikiryo sadly didn’t get a resculpt in the M3E box. There’s something about her that doesn’t do it for me.
Lost Love looks angry.
The Onryo are dancerly, like Kirai.
The other warband in the Direchasm box is The Dread Pageant. This four-model crew features more diverse models than their boxmates, Myari’s Purifiers.
This warband gave me an excuse to play with purples and blues, which was fun.
I still struggle with lighter colored bases like this. At least it contrasts nicely with the model and statues that make the base details.
I think it would be hard to put on a shirt with a crab-arm like this.
Looking at this now, it would have been cooler to make the shield fleshy instead of metallic.
Myari’s Purifiers is one of the two warbands in Direchasm, the latest season box for Underworlds.
I haven’t been keeping close eye on the Age of Sigmar factions, but I guess these are representatives of a new kind of elf.
All the models are exceptionally tall, making fitting them into foam tricky.
Myari’s owl is way cooler than Farstrider’s eagle. Fight me.
I’m getting more confident painting white. The secret, of course, is not to actually use white, but various grays.
