Moonclan & Death Update 1

So it turns out I wasn't happy with Glibbins' current look, mostly being the GS moss and back shrooms (see this post), so I went looking online for some ideas on how to fix it. One such Youtube video gave the answer to that plaguing question.


As such, with this idea, I began to test it out on some Fanatic bases, before moving on to Badfang and Glibbins. Personally, this was a major help in resolving that issue and I'll let you decide if it works better:


As for Badfang and Oddball, I added a bunch of colourful funky mushrooms to the bases. This was a mixture of green stuff and thumb tack varieties to see how it looked. I like the look of these funky shrooms, though I admit I doubt some will stay on for long without some careful use so I may need to work on strengthening them later on. Either way, it is the starting point to get ideas on the kind of mushrooms I want to add to some of the bases:


Finally, I was looking for another idea to get creative with the Death faction and I think I've come up with something. I was looking at the Glavewraith Stalkers and their animal skulls and I though that with some fur on the back then they could look more bestial like:


These would be the Shrine Guardians. Given that my group was one that honoured animal and beasts as their religion and that such iconography is displayed on banners and such, it wouldn't be hard to see them having a large number of shrines and that these shrines would have those who acted as both maintenance, priest and guardian. As such, these guys would be Shrine Guardians, those who's spirits have fused with those of beasts and they flow forth on the hunt to all who dare oppose their kingdom and desecrate their sacred Realm.

My first back of green stuff fur was a failure and I had to remove it. I'm now weighing up my options as to whether I attempt a more time consuming, but more accurate green stuff attempt or if I should get a mold or the stuff to create a mold for a fur back (say, with the Fenrisian Wolves bodies). Might need to do more research on this one before another attempt.
