In a rarely seen (for me anyway) feat of focus, I’ve kept cracking on with my Northern Alliance for Kings of War. I herewith present a Horde of Ice Naiads.
These are a mixed kit from Mantic where they reuse their Sea Naiad figures and add resin (and now 3d printed) parts to change them into Ice Naiads.
Fairly simple paint jobs, I decided that I wanted them to be wearing leather outfits a bit like the outfits in the Dune films.
Cheeky bit of multibasing and I quite like the way the blue hair/tentacles flow across the unit.
In game these units are annoying as they hinder others attacking them and regenerate and so they hang around whilst their more "hitty" friends pile in to smash up the entangled unit.
And I thought people might be amused at the fact that these are only ready as I had to go for a day to my kids’ swimming gala which meant I only watched when they raced, which gave me plenty of spare time. So I took a paint station and the paints and brushes and got some "Carhammer" painting in whilst catching up on some downloaded series.
Simple for the scoring - 30 x 28mm figures for 150 points.

Focusing consistently on one project? I would suspect this had been some kind of hack, right up until the whole part about "Carhammer", which was the best and most hilarious part of this submission! I've been known to obsess about painting, but this level of commitment is tremendous, and should be applauded.
Oh, and I hope the whole swimming gala went well. :-)
Lovely work on the Naiads - sounds like they are real pests on the battlefield! I have tossed in bonus points in order to acknowledge the effort on the hobby side even with 1-to-1 scale life events getting in the way!
