My painting time has really stalled out this Challenge, but I forced myself to get some figures done. These are a variety of beings you may find in the Underhive.
The malstrain is a corrupted genestealer. I slightly trimmed back and toned down the excess spikes of the original sculpt, as I thought they were a bit much even for me. I've got more of these to paint but its a slow fiddly process. He's a big boy on a 40mm base. I've gone for a severe cataract eye. The pustules remind me of the original plastic 'stealers.

Next, I have some winged figures- two caryatids and a cherub. Caryatids are nearly mythical figures to underhivers, and are associated with good luck. The smaller metal figure is a very limited sculpt associated with Colony 87- read more
here. He's on a 20mm base, and is definitely a 'he'.

This cherub had a goatee and hair but I trimmed it back to be more Churchillian. |
Somewhere in this medic servoskull is a skull!
I really like this underseer sculpt. It nails the bizarre bodies and mechadendrites of the tech-priests.
Postscript: I was bullied/peer-pressured into painting some patches onto flight suits and trying to get a mirrorshades effect onto Ferro's aviators. Are you happy now?
Six figures of varying sizes... 25 points?
+1 skull for the skull challenge (total 45)
From Millsy:
Any submission that makes use of the term "denizen" is a winner in my books! These are all superb mate but I am particularly impressed and at the same time a bit disturbed by the underseer. I have little idea what mechadendrites are but I suspect I'm better off that way.
Kudos for your efforts on the mirrrorshades and patches. I've awarded a bonus five points because I resist every temptation to revisit something so if you can be bothered it should pay off.
Cracking stuff Barks. 30 more underhive credits for you.
Cheers,
Millsy
