I recently finished this gigantic snake for my Lustria-themed Warhammer Quest collection. It's a hard rubber toy that I've had since my childhood (retrieved from my parents' attic). It took model paints well, & I'm pleased with the outcome. I'll be using the Giant Snake rules from the excellent
Warhammer Quest Chronicles website. Those stats make this a tough Monster for the adventuring Warriors, worth 570 gold for slaying. For comparison, a basic Ogre is worth 400 gold, a Gigantic Scorpion is 450 gold, while a
Kroxigor is 750 gold.
As with my
Gigantic Scorpion, following the size logic of giant & gigantic spiders in
Warhammer Quest,
I termed this huge snake 'gigantic', & will count it as a Large
Monster, because it required a Ø60mm base (2x2 dungeon squares). It
will probably need a few Wounds added to it's profile to account for
being potentially open to more Warriors attacking it at once, & a
slightly higher Gold value as a reward for defeating it.

Wow! That looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteCheers Michael, it did turn-out nicely :-)
DeleteGreat paint job and nice to repurpose childhood toys :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Stuart. Yeah, I'm glad it is once more gracing tabletops & being played with, instead of gathering dust in an attic.
