The Cosmic Amphibians - Space Slann

Technically this post is made up of a couple of spin-off projects from a spin-off project. I painted up the unreleased space slann to bulk up my Five Parsecs from Home crew into a Stargrave crew. Then the Colony 87 figure and terrain pieces just followed suit!

The two new models are a Citadel unreleased space slann which I have had for donkey's years (long before the collecting of unreleased figures was as big a deal as it is now!), and Adjunct Gilda Citlax - one of the amphiran characters from Crooked Dice's Colony 87 range.

I will use the unreleased slann as a Pathfinder in my Stargrave crew - I figure the exotic hunter / scout vibes work really nicely in that role. The model itself is a little tricky to decipher with all the layered details, but I think it's come out nicely in the end.

I quite like the contrast between the long and leggy slann and the stocky grumpy-looking amphiran. I had a lot of fun painting the face and tunic folds in particular. The colour scheme for both figures was taken directly from the original slann and Colony 87 slann I painted back in 2017.

The scenic pieces are the final section of this particular painting train of thought. The two monoliths were from the Katsina Miniatures Bizaza Kickstarter. I don't think they're currently available in the webstore, but there are other cool frog-person miniatures.

The calendar / plinth is from Fenris Games. I painted all three in a very quick session with just drybrushing of successively light blue-greens, but I think they look really nice!
