Orruk Brute for scale (it's a BIG skeleton!)
I've wanted one of these big beauties since they were first previewed, but
somehow only just got round to actually pulling the trigger.
I added a few branches from old Citadel Woods, so it looks like the forest is
overgrowing the skeleton a little. I think that, once mixed in with
the Wyldwood trees in my collection, they will help sell the idea.
Like those trees the Megadroth Remains will serve double-duty in both
The Harrowmark
(because a big skeleton is never out of place in the Realm of Death) and
The Prowling Forest, in the Scarlands (because a big skeleton is also never out of place
in the Realm of Beasts!).
Update: I was asked for the bone painting recipe on Facebook, so I will add it
here too.
- Spray undercoated black, zenithal primed grey.
- Painted the bones with Wraithbone then Skeleton Horde Contrast.
- Dry-brushed with Ushabti Bone all over then White Scar on the sharper edges.
- Painted a little Plaguebearer Flesh Contrast onto the lowest parts, but with a "ragged" edge so there wasn't a "tideline".
- Horns and spines then got a coat of Snakebite Leather Contrast.
Beautifully painted: i bought a Magmadroth Remains kit, when I watched the Cult of Paint painting demo for Warcry: Heart of Ghur: your version is even better!
