At long last I have finished Radukar the Beast... or at least gotten him to a point where I feel like I just don't want to work on it any more and said "close enough".
The original model is stepping over a log and I decided because all my other Soulblight Gravelord and Cursed City stuff is based on flagstone and rubble bases, I wanted him to look like he's in an urban area... so I picked up the terrain bits box and hoped there would be a bit that would fit on his base and the models could be fit onto the terrain bit...
Radukar the Beast
From the rear - you can see the other Vyrkos Blood-Born... I realized as I was editing these, it probably would have been better to take a shot from the side to show the second Vyrkos Blood-Born... From the rear it looks like... well.. I don't know what it looks like he's doing...!? Not sure what he was supposed to be doing on the original base...
I'm not totally happy with the way it turned out.. doesn't quite match what I'd imagined in my head... Ah, well.. it's painted, I'm calling it done as I have no energy or interest to work on it any more - even though my brain screams at me to "fix it"... somehow...? Stopping kind of feels like giving up and failing and... it wasn't exactly an inexpensive model... so...
I don't love the green stone of the broken statue... all the other statues I've done (or partly done) for Age of Sigmar terrain have been white - using the same colours I used for Vyrkos Blood-Born and the Vargskyr... and I felt like that would have been TOO MUCH WHITE! Feeling like I maybe could have gone with a blue-ish-grey...? But there's already so much grey on the base, I thought maybe something not-so-grey...
Anyway...
Radukar the Beast is significantly bigger than the OG Radukar the Wolf...
Even a bit bigger than the other Vargskyr...
looking at his card for Warhammer Quest... he is going to be NASTY... and will probably show up once per game from now on...
Strangely, he ISN'T one of the Vampires that need to be hunted down and destroyed in Night Wars... he's just a ferrel Vargskyr version of Radukar that roams the city eating things and is drawn to the fights...
Nice, well, deeply unpleasant but you know what I mean, I think it was a good idea to go with green for contrast with the statue, could have done with some marble veins maybe? But all done now which is great!

Ha-ha! Yeah I know what you mean... Often when I see well painted Nurgle stuff I have to say: "Wow... that is so gross! (and by gross I mean VERY WELL DONE!)"
