Custom gribbly

[hivefleettangor]

Made a custom gribbly. Saw some genestealer conversion online and made a hormogaunt in a similar style. Better paint it and make another one I guess. Does it look ok for a gribbly?

I think it's ok for a gribbly. It gives the hormogaunt more of a terrifying or blind hunger look. The more important measure is if you like the conversation or not

Cheers mate, they will all be running about in lush grassland meadows with 'born free' as their theme tune. Did those 32mm as test bases to get the recipe down. Now going to start doing another 15 of them in 25mm for these mini gribblers. another once over with the base coats on the blob head test hormagaunt before i get the washes and highlight recipe sorted.

The dots add a lot to that paint scheme. Well done!

Cheers. Very tempted to make the actual talons and the hoof toe things shiny gloss black just to add a bit more of a contrast and variation to the sort of overall scheme. Do you reckon that'd work?

Black can be a bit hard to pull off but give it a try and see how it goes on a test model.

This little blob head is my test model before I roll out a box of hormies to start hive fleet tangor.
I have done the claws gloss black.... and it looks..... seriously gribbly. He's finished.
Just going to quickly knock out another 20 of my bases in 25mm then I will stick a finished picture up before I start converting the first unit. We'll chuffed with this little blob head. Can't wait til I've got loads of them.

test model complete, paint scheme finalised. 12 off 25mm bases ready for further gribbly. Now to convert a further 11 blob heads.

blob head the second uses a termagant body instead.

Looking forward to blobbing out with my first carnifex when the postman brings it.
