Big Gobb heard them before he saw them.
The deranged cackle, honking clown horn and buzzing chainsaw.
The rumbling shamanic ramblings.
The weirdboyz had arrived.
One a depraved clown. The other a long lost mystic. Together a formidable psychic force.
Big Gobb liked bright uniforms and luxury. He wasn’t too sure about psychic warfare, but he was a Bad Moon and Bad Moons always had weird boyz. He just hoped they didn’t explode while he was standing nearby.
Phew! That was close. Very close.
Look hard, and you’ll see that the paint on some of this month’s minis is still wet in the pictures. It was a photo finish, but I bloody did it!
And I had fun in the process! The weirdboyz are great models – a Hero Quest wizard I’ve had for more than 30 years and a one off from the amazing Warmonger Miniatures. They each have two minderz to keep an eye on them (four minderz in total).
I also added some more nobz to Big Gobb’s retinue. These are from Old School Miniatures and again, were loads of fun to paint. I didn’t have much time to get them done, but still thoroughly enjoyed it.
And finally I added a mekaniak, a classic Rogue Trader miniature. I experimented with a slightly different colour scheme, which I don’t love and won’t repeat. But hey, you’ve gotta try!
Onwards!

Well done on making it over the line and extra bonus points for use of an HQ model in your 40K army. It definitely works in that colour scheme :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! It was great fun. Finally getting him painted after all these years!
DeleteI'm glad you managed to stay in the challenge and got the chance to add these fine models to Big Gobb's Big Mob! I've always loved that Mekaniak model-he’ll definitely come in handy when it's time to fix that tank!
ReplyDeleteVery true! You can't have a tank without a mekaniak!
DeleteWell, they certainly grab you by the eye sockets and shake you!
ReplyDeleteGrimbright!
DeleteGenius! :)
DeleteWell done on getting through another month, great idea to use the Heroquest Shaman as a Weirdboy. Clever move.
ReplyDeletefantastic! I love the quartering of the drum and beaters - something that's never occurred to me to do. It looks 👌
ReplyDeleteAlso - 40k HeroQuest FTW!
