EDIT: This model is now ready to download, print and paint! Merry Dredgemas.
This first release has been a huge undertaking and I'm sure you'll agree, worth the wait! Let me present the much anticipated Mthulus, prime lord of the dredge.
What a pleasure it's been to design this ancient warden of the deep. I wanted his armour to feel regal and gothic, so while keeping the same kind of tropes in other dredge armours, it was completely built from scratch. Being so massive, it allowed for rare details like skulls and arch ways, even scratches in the fingertips.
One of the main challenges I faced with Mthulus, was how to represent his ability to fly. The dredge are slow, relentless, looming from the depths. Flight has never been a major part of their vibe. However, Mthulusneeded to fly. And I didn’t want to go with classic demon wings. So, he’s got a legendary jump back powered with barnacle-pocked turbines. Exploding from the jump pack are huge, lugged tentacles which help build the silhouette of where giant demon wings would be.
Mthulus has an entourage of jabbering dredgelings. One is riding a mutated crab, one is toting a rusted tide sword, and one is swinging from a chain, jiggling its shark tail and mine belly.
This model is absolutely huge. This is the centrepiece, the helm of your dredge army. Some parts have been designed to be hollow, not just hollowed with drain holes, but for example the torso is open at the back and the jump pack is open at the front. This is to make the model lighter on resin and not so top-heavy.
The second release for December is an orc runt herder, something much requested to keep an eye on all the cheeky runtz we’ve released lately! This hilarious model is almost done and will be ready soon after Xmas.
Again, I want to thank you all for your support and especially for your patience while I prepare the best miniatures I can for you. Mez
