Kommordore Deffgit and The Gloomwyrms - part 7: As the Crow Flies

Five more Kruleboyz are ready to join the Gloomwyrms crew, as they venture into Frorholm!

+++

Udrom Krowtoof

An underhanded and devious Shadowcalla Shaman, Krowtoof never missed a chance to lie, cheat or steal to get an advantage. Through the use of crafty stratagems and treachery he always seemed to manage to end up on top. He recently "found" a large notebook, filled with inky drawings of crows and scribbled notes about Frorholm.

Hubble

A fearless and very adventurous Pot-grot, with a feathered crow skull tied to his head.

+++

I didn't want crossbows in my warband, so I replaced the bow parts of my Boltboyz with Kharadron gun barrels and they became Blastboyz!

+++

Dursh

The leader of the swivel-gun team and probably the best shot, but even so he somehow ended up with the least impressive firearm.

+++

Rogbat

Humourless and abrasive, Rogbat disliked most of the crew and was always quick to tell them so.

+++

Umog

A troublemaker who delighted in starting arguments and fights. He never seemed to hang around when the punches started flying though.

+++

All the painted ladz so far:

And I have been making some Ulgu themed scenery to be Frorholm in Animosity V. I kept the time and money needed down by updating a load of the bits I made for Shadows of Commorragh, a narrative Kill Team campaign we played a few years ago. It was mostly made from Age of Sigmar and Middle Earth plastic kits anyway, so it didn't need a vast amount or work.

I remove all the overtly drukhari parts, like bits of Raider wreckage, high-tech weapons and a lot of blades and spikes. I added dark green stone paving slabs (I cut up dozens of bits of plasticard, then undercoated and painted them before gluing them onto the scenery bases) and grey sand texture to the bases around the paving and buildings. I repainted all the metal-work as "old gold" and gave all the green stone and grey sand a light but unifying dry-brush of Ushabti Bone.

There are still some more pieces to update, but I already have enough for a Warcry board. And the first edition starter box board colours match the scenery very nicely.

I've taken a few atmospheric photos of the Gloomwyrms exploring Frorholm for my Turn 1 Animosity submission.

As the Crow Flies

In their first foray into Frorholm, swathed in mist summoned by their navigator-shaman Rognor Deadeyez, the Gloomwyrms broke into several buildings in Turning. Kommordore Deffgit led them from the front, as they ransacked an austere building full of bound volumes, which was either a library or a private book collection. They were sure that there must have been something of value there, at least to one of the other factions on the island.

They offered the pile of leather-bound tomes to the Blackwings as tribute to their god, just in case the Great Gatherer was actually Mork in a feathery hat (because that is exactly the kind of trick he'd pull).

+++

Finally (for this post) I have completed the build / greenstuff work on the next batch of Gutrippaz for the Gloomwyrm's crew.

I found a forgotten box of bits I had set aside for a Tzeentch project, that stalled a long time ago. So the wings and feathers from that went into the Gloomwyrms' bits box!

+++

Mogak - wearing a bicorn with tatty feathers, and a very big coat with a wing attached. Carrying a wooden club and a crow-skull totem with twigs and leaves for "feathers".

+++

Nargo - wearing a tricorn with a fancy feather. Carrying hakka in his right hand (made from a cut-down spear), a dagger in his left and extra daggers on his belt.

+++

Ogash - wearing a broad-brimmed hat with scruffy feathers in it, folded up at the front, and half a dead raven on his back. Carrying a pick-hakka and flintlock pistol.
