Mortal Citizens Feb 2022 - Wazza, messenger squig

February's theme of the #mortalcitizens challenge was Messenger/Diplomat/Court Advisor, in my opinion a bit of a difficult theme for the savage forces of Destruction. I wasn't sure in which direction to go before finding a great piece of background in the current Codex: Orks mentioning squigs being used to deliver messages containing hastily written glyphs.

Wazza is a cave squig used by Megaboss Gorgrim Bloodjaw to deliver messages to other warlords. He was trained by the squig herder Drizgit who tried to teach him not to eat the scrolls he is given. Surprisingly most deliveries are successful.

The model used is Bonekrakka from the Zarbag's Gitz Warhammer Underworlds warband. I converted it a bit by replacing the bone in its mouth with a scroll made from greenstuff.
