A Snotling Pump Wagon is little more than a ramshackle wooden hut on wheels. It moves under the power provided by the frantic efforts of Snotlings, crushing and piercing any foes unfortunate enough to fall beneath it.
Miniature Review
This Snotling pump wagon is from 1987 and is one of the first miniatures I ever painted (I fondly remember the old blue capped Chestnut Wash paint). There's so much character on each of the snotlings faces, and I love the one dressed as a wizard flipping the bird. The pump wagon itself is a simple design, but it has some nice details such as the fungus and the faces on the pump.

Base
The cave is made from corkboard and the ground was covered in a texture paint. As with the squig I gave everything a shade with Nuln Oil to darken it right down, then highlighted it back up with Dawnstone and Mechanicus Grey.
I then applied a mix of flocks, rocks, tufts, flowers and leaves grouped below by company:
Games Workshop
Geek Gaming Scenics
Army Painter
Gamers Grass
AK Interactive
Finally I painted the outside of the base.
Roundup
The wood is maybe a bit flat and didn't come out as realistic as I'd hoped, but I'm glad it's simple enough to not distract away from the snotlings themselves. I'm happy with the skin tones and the faces on each really stand out. I'm glad I painted some of the metal pieces yellow as it gives the piece more interest and ties some of the yellow on the snotlings together.
