CXVII. Swampfiends: Spawn Mother and Will o'the Wisp

When we last saw Spawn Mother she was a work in progress. Got her finished now, along with a Will o'the Wisp. With this I have the full starting crew for the campaign we're starting at my local club next week. I'll have to make Gupp swarms soon because, althought I won't hire any, I'll be summoning them during the game.

SPAWN MOTHER

Fish monster... I used the same colours as on the first Silurid.

Before painting I added a few bubbles made from balls of Milliput cut in half. The base was painted black, with lighter areas around the parts where legs and hand touch it.  I made ripples around the legs with Vallejo Heavy Gel. The base was then coated in several layers of Vallejo Still Water. The final touch was some foliage: flock, grass tufts and moss tufts.

One with a white backdrop. Some things are better visible in this one.

WILL O'THE WISP

The Wisp gave me some trouble. I couldn't get the skin right. Originally I imagined it light blue with lights that have a greenish hue. Repainted it several times until I settled on this. Those wings, on the other hand, were fun to do. I liked the design from Will o'the Wisp boxart so I tried to emulate it.

It's supposed to have a glowing bum. Looks slightly better in person but still I see room for improvement. I'll try to do better on the second Wisp.

I'll make a small display base for them. For now it's still in the planning stage.
