Squiggoth Stampede - Gnawzilla

It's may, which means it's Monster May(hem), so of course I had to join in and paint a monstrous miniature. As teased in my last post and correctly guessed by Dave, I chose to paint another one of my Squiggoths. The model is a Gnawzilla from Kromlech, a large chunk of resin, that's beautifully sculpted and quite fun to paint.

 The painting process was quite simple, the Gnawzilla is mostly skin and armour. The skin was done using Orruk Flesh base coat (over black, which worked quite well), followed by diluted Ghillie Dew Speedpaint and drybrushed Ogryn Camo for simple highlights. To make the armour more interesting, I painted some metal plates in red and added Dirty Down rust effects as well as some decals and checkers.

 The howdah is magnetised, so it's detachable and the model already had holes for the magnets which is pretty neat. Since the mini is meant to be used in WH40K, I decided to make some adjustments by adding wooden planks and animal pelts to make it better suitable for fantasy settings. The pelts and lizard skin were made from greenstuff using convenient texture plates from Green Stuff World.

If you're wondering how big the model is, it's on a 160mm base and the howdah is wide enough to hold a 50mm based miniature (Update: and up to 6 minis on 25mm bases).
