War has never been so much fun
Scarecrow test pieces
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.

lovely work as always, Pizza Jesus would approve.
May the power of crust compel you!
Very interesting.
An all Hallows Eve Army! Perfect timing for next month.
If only :)) Don’t think I’ll be anywhere near done by then. But I’ll be happy enough if I’ve gotten the 30 Scarecrows all done and based.
Not seen any “healthy” flesh tones on models like this before, what drove you to that instead of monstrous or undead colors? Very clean
I wanted them to look like any of us could end up like this. A twisted, malicious version of ourselves. So I wanted them to have a ‘familiar’ look. Like…you look at them and go oh, humans…but then you look closer and see the tentacles, missing eyes, teeth etc 🙂
