Out of the Diehard Miniatures loose models come a slithering of snake men. These all come from the earlier Kickstarters so again have been gathering dust for a few years. I wanted to give a multi-coloured set of warriors so using internet images of real snakes for inspiration, I set to task…

Blue Snakeman - model chosen Diehard Miniatures Sculpted by Tim Prow Lasharr-Chaos Snakeman SKU: CSTP03. A great mini to start with although with the positioning of the spear, I mounted the Snakeman on a slightly raised 40mm lipped Micro Arts Troglodyte base.

Yellow Snakeman - model chosen Diehard Miniatures Sculpted by Tim Prow Sythpharius-Chaos Snakeman SKU: CS05. A fairly dynamic pose for this chap swinging a huge halberd. The trickiest bit was actually painting the face as it appears to be licking its lips with a short tongue. As with the other snakemen, play sand has been used on the 40mm base. This time a Mirco Arts Ancients 40mm base was used

White Snakeman - model chosen Diehard Miniatures Sculpted by Tim Prow Two Faced Sanvarr-Chaos Snakeman SKU: CS04 . Probably my favourite of the three because of the two heads, but again a lovely model to paint. I’ve used similar gold armour colouring to link the trio as a unit and the bases are all washed the same colours even though this one is a 40mm lipped round Micro Arts Halodyne base.

Next up… more from Diehard Miniatures with another Snakeman, but which needs a new tail sculpted and perhaps a leader for the snakemen? Also, I think with a bit more ferreting in my box of loose miniatures, I can find a group of Arabian Adventurers…
