Kermit the Llurgh

Finished my first squad of Khurasan's excellent Llurgh. I only took closeups of each individual pose, of which there are six, including the leader with sword raised and the tricranial mutant. These are excellent figs, sculpted by Whiffwaff(if I remember correctly), and a joy to paint. I had to go green on these guys and I feel they are a cross between Kermit the frog and the original Dungeons and Dragons TROLL. I only have 4 squads of these guys to paint up (small raiding party or mercenary band) complete with 4 Llurghwagon semi armored personnel carriers I crafted( see a prior blog post). Cant wait for the Khurasan control battalions.

15mm Llurgh swamp battlewagonAPC

Hello, just a fewpics of my new APC for my Khurasan Llurgh battlegroup. Hope to have 4 of these made soon. Very reminiscient of Ork battlewagons. armored sides and front; underslung support weapon? anti infantry or anti tank; drivers compartment; and my favorite- rear offloading ramps. It has a hurried metal drybrush, but I will make the tracks brown or black or rust.
made from an Indiana Jones rocket sled, 2 robogear tracks and several platformer pieces, knocked together in about 30 minutes

Llurgh recipe

my finished Llurgh. now for my secret paint recipe(lest I forget- and I do, quite often)
almost all paints used are cheap craft paints-Decoart, americana acrylic.
1. black gesso
2. drybrush entire mini(avoid guns) with celery green
3.hair-black green
4.rope-khaki tan-also cigar
5. scabbard/armband- honey brown
6.hooves-delta ceramcoat-dark olive
7.leaves on armband-deep periwinkle
8. gun/blade-reaper pro paint-steel plate
9. teeth/bone jewlery-dove grey
10. fire on cigar cadmium orange
11.eyes-true ochre
next is a sloppy wash of future black(actually a strange mixture of black drawing ink, future,water,acrylic flow aid, and reaper brush on primer- a real kitchen sink experiment)
after the wash go back and apply hilites where needed,almost drybrushing with original color
I know - alot of redundant steps and it usually changes from month to month----main reason I am writing this all down
---these guys would make good not-kroot for 40k in 15mm, but that is a dark place to which I shall never return.
just got 4 indiana jones rocket sleds to convert into primitive APC/hanomags
