Opted for 30 Scarecrows instead of Spectres. Originally I was thinking of dividing up the force. But then I watched some battle reports, and I just love how it looks, when there’s many many (many) models on a base. So will have to buy a box of Spectres at some point too 🙂

Light pale skin colors, with blues for shadows, to give it a more ‘dead’ look. Purple tentacles to tie in the blue and reds of the skin. And some rather sharp edge highlights on clothing, for a more cartoonish look.

All weapons have been rusted up real good. I really like that look, so I might use that on other troops weapons too.

Not sure if I’ll build up and paint more Scarecrows, or start on a Butcher test piece.

As always, Scale75 colors used, unless otherwise noted:

  • Skin: Corpse Pale, Harvester Flesh, Inssmouth Blue, Moonray Flesh
  • Scars: Mayhem Red, Bosh Chestnut
  • Cloth 1: SS Camo Gray Brown, Olivegrün Green, Red Leather, Strong Tone (AP), SS Camo Dark Brown, Nacar
  • Cloth 2: SS Camo Dark Brown, SS Camo Gray Brown
  • Cloth 3: SS Camo Dark Green, Strong Tone (AP), Corpse Pale
  • Cloth 4: Red Leather, SS Camo Gray Brown, Agrax Earthshade (GW)
  • Hood and Gloves: SS Camo Dark Brown, SS Camo Ocher Brown
  • Wood: Sandalwood, Inktense Wood, Nacar
  • Rope: Nacar, Light Tone (AP)
  • Tongue: Innsmouth Blue, Hiril Blue, Nacar
  • Teeth, Nacar, White, Nacar + SS Camo Dark Brown
  • Blade: Thrash Metal, Strong Tone (AP) x2, Bosh Chestnut, Tiamat Orange, Speed Metal
  • Tentacles: Eldanil Violet, Graphite, Nacar, SS Camo Dark Brown
  • Hat 1: SS Camo Ocher Brown, Strong Tone (AP), Nacar
  • Hat 2: Bosh Chestnut, Agrax Earthshade (GW), Bost Chestnut + SS Camo Ocher Brown
  • Pumpkin: Tiamat Orange, SS Camo Dark Green, Light Tone (AP), Dark Tone (AP), Tiamat Orange + Moonray Flesh

Not seen any “healthy” flesh tones on models like this before, what drove you to that instead of monstrous or undead colors? Very clean
