Squiggoth Stampede - Brutgoth

For Keith's annual Monster May(hem) challenge , I decided to paint a Mountain Brutgoth from Shieldwolf Miniatures. I got the model a few years ago from a Kickstarter and thought that now would be a good opportunity to finally get it painted. The Brutgoth can be seen as an alternative model for the GW Squiggoth, albeit for a fantasy instead of a sci-fi setting (Shieldwolf also produced a sci-fi version, the Steelgoth). The model is a big chunk of resin and a great cast with lots of detail, although some gap-filling was necessary. The painting took a lot of time mainly because of the size of the model and my choice of primer - I opted for black, but should have gone for white in hindsight since painting yellow on black took ages. It was also one of those moments when I wished I had an airbrush, it would have saved so much time. The howdah was a lot quicker to paint, since I primed it in white and used Contrast paints. The same goes for the crew, which are two Mountain Orcs also from
