'Mercenary' from Barks: I am Kroot!





Dahyak Grekh is a Kroot mercenary who has found his way to the Blackstone Fortress. Kroot are half-bird half-lizard half-man hunter culture aliens, who were almost their own thing until they were bundled into Codex T'au in the late 90s. I'm pretty happy with the earthy tones and contrast on this figure. Being a Kroot, he's 40mm from toe to crown so I'm angling for a cheeky 7 points here.

    Oh wow, very nicely done there. Surely a favorite for the brass ring.

    How did you do that skin tone? It's spectacular and very worth stealing.

      Thank you! The skin is Army Painter Kraken Skin with Soft Tone wash, and highlighted with the Kraken Skin again.

      Perfect. I shall snag some this weekend. Be great for gobbos, half orcs, and spectral thingies.

    Was there ever a Kroot that didn't look surly? Great paint job.

      If the Skullometer had shoulders, it would be shrugging them confusedly.

    So cool! The Kroot are great figures, this sculpt in particular is awesome, and looks really good under your brush. Well done Barks!

    I like the bright skin colour and the contrast with the browns and greys of his clothing. Well done!
