Svrill Slithers Forth and Heralds a Reptilian Age from BaneLegion
April 23, 2012 by brennon
We saw the concept for this serpentine monster late last week, but here is the model for Svrill from BaneLegion and Maelstrom Games.
This popped up on the blog of the sculptor. You can check out his Work-in-Progress model below...
Not a bad looking miniature at all. Love the attention to detail on the body right down to the tail. The neat flick at the end adds a nice bit of movement to the model. Even if you didn't want this for BaneLegion you could see about fitting this priest into your Lustrian Lizardman army perhaps?
What do you make of Svrill?

Hmm. I like the idea, but the pose looks a bit too much like Michael Jackson. Good, but not Bane Legions best.
The head is craned a little too far up to really give the impression of reading the scroll and the join at the waist will need taking care of, perhaps sanding rather than filling to make it sit flush. I do however like the ridged serpentine belly and the realistically ragged scrolls, plus the way the bits of robe hang give a sense of the wind whipping up a little, as though magical energy is just starting to flow. The bolt upright stance is very commanding too…liking this one overall.
Loke the concept but not a fan of the pose tbh
Just feel the back could be more bowed, the neck longer and then the head more horizontal for a serpentine S
The left arm is too straight for my taste too.
I love level of detail that this model has got. Althought I wonder is Svrill related to Thulsa Doom.
For such a static pose it has a lots of movement in the robes. I can see this with a bit more work, it will look just fine 🙂
