Lump

This fella is Fellwind's some time "friend" and associate, whom we shall call a "giant", if only because he is bigger than anything else the Bloodfangs tend to hang around with.

No one seems sure exactly what his heritage is, but the fact that he is big, strong, violent, slow-witted, green and acts in a most random fashion has endeared him to the Bloodfangs in general and Fellwind in particular.

All I know is that he is big, mean and green.

And he brings his own lunch to any gathering.

And he has a wife.....

Krag

I have no idea what make this figure is. It must be at least 20 years old, but was only painted a couple of weeks ago!

50mm base, the grass tufts taken from a coir doormat and a couple of Army Painter Swamp tufts for variety. As can be seen, Fellwind also likes to paint his mate Lump with his warpaint concoction. 

The aforementioned lunch. Now that is what I call a pair of drumsticks.




Fellwind

Another of them Bloodfangs for you here. This is Fellwind. I reckon you'll know why they call him that. He is what they call a "Shaman".

Call him what you like, as what he actually is is a raving, gibbering, screeching, wild-eyed, snake-obsessed loon.

I have seen green steam come out of various of his orifices. I have seen lightning leave his hands and cleave the sky. I have seen him lay low whole ranks of enemy warriors and cause some of his own to dive for cover as wild explosions go off all around him.

Yet this guy is charmed. He don't ever die. He paints himself and his boys with all manner of crude designs in some chalky paint stuff, sends 'em all off to kick someone and does it all again with the survivors another day.

They call it magic, their warpaint that is. I call it fluke.

And don't get me started on what he reckons that puppet-like mix of bone, fur and gold is that he carries.

Fellwind in close up, a good, old Citadel figure from a few years back. I tried something different for the flesh compared with the boar boys, namely Straken Green from the latest GW paint range over the green basecoat, with a Thraka Green wash, then highlighted back up.

He brought his favourite stripy snake, "Spot" along for the picture seesion.

He likes nothing more than dancing.

It is unclear from his finger-pointing whether he is indicating something (usually that the sky is about to fall in), is about to cast a spell or whether this is just another dance move.
