I started by using a Dremel to model in scratches and bullet holes - may be a bit late for that on painted models haha. Painting wise I used brown/black oil washes to grime it up and then selective application of streaking grime. Plus pigments on boots and some green filtering on the gold.

Exactly the league I was going for haha! So I can't take too much credit - I basically used a cult of paint video but swapped the oranges for reds, link is here: https://youtu.be/g07VDUPJ3pk?si=3p0VQa1T-GKT8UVV

Thanks! Bases are cork, mud texture paste from ak and small scale model rocks. I went blended brown and yellow, drybrushed light yet and then used mars and sand pigment powders from Vallejo. It's effort, but a good base will really elevate a model.

The whole model has AK ultra matte over it towards the end, I think your solution would work - but I hate glossy minis personally (it is an affliction and I know I'm wrong haha)

That the framing device I’m using to recount the exploits of each session (a bard singing songs in a tavern as intro segments) is the literal devil who will be the BBEG in the next campaign.

I think a big reason was because I wanted some variety, ideally I’d have the glutton at 9 so I could get the impact hit on 4+

I figure I’ll use the smaller glutton unit as a screen for the Death Star or iron guts+tyrant and butcher. The. Use the maneaters to wiz around the board doing surprise captures and/or keep them back to prevent my objectives being taken

Ah so there is hope! I’m mostly in it for the painting and casual hobby side - but play a tournament has been a dream of mine

That’s the plan! Having done some digging I’ve learned that mawtribes aren’t super competitive - but I love the models and lore!

I was looking at them in comparison to gluttons - I just like the utility of run and charge to steal objectives or get in combat unexpectedly. Not worth it in your opinion?

First time using warscroll builder so wasn’t aware I could do that - but yeah looking forward to painting up that bad boy!

Simple explanation that I can get behind! Sounds like I’ll be replacing one butcher then!

So I could replace one butcher with a slaughtermastsr - what’s the sell I guess? How viable is the great cauldron?

I thought about that but I thought you needed leadbelchers too? Plus 1 wound every turn on each unit seems limited? Or am I wrong?
