This week I finished these 1D3+1 giant leeches for Warhammer Quest in Lustria, the land of the Lizardmen. These nice miniatures are Rebel Minis Ripper Worms. In hindsight I wish I'd bought another pack or two, before the Rebel Minis shipping costs to the UK seemed to rise dramatically. 
They don't present much threat to experienced Warriors, & are only worth 35 gold for slaying (compare that to 20g for a Goblin, 40g for a Skink, 55g for an Orc warrior, & 150g for a Saurus warrior). However, giant leeches do have the Ambush & Bloodsucker abilities. Stats for Lustrian creatures & Lizardmen can be found here.
They were very straightforward to paint, & I gave them a double-coat of gloss varnish to make them look suitably slimy - although this doesn't show up as well in these photos as it does on the tabletop.Here's a photo of them with a Saurus warrior for scale >
Ambush monsters are always a bit of a bastard, as unless you can magic them away, they'll have a chance to hurt the warriors without you having a chance to do anything about it.
ReplyDeleteThey look wonderfully horrible. I like the basing as well.
