Gutrippaz form the slimy heart of the Kruleboyz. These mobs of sadistic greenskins are known for their vicious kunnin and the spiteful amusement they find in laying low the enemy with their wicked, poisoned weapons.
Miniature Review
This squad was another eBay lot, but was purchased separately to the others. It was built with a banner bearer, a couple of musicians, some spears (or Wicked Stikkas) and the rest having Wicked Hackas. There's 12 in the unit so I guess it makes it possible to swap some options in or out.
They fit in well with the other unit, having even more variation in poses and armour. I hadn't noticed until painting this unit just how long their arms are, making them a lot more lanky than I previously thought. The shields are still my favorite part of them, but I do also like the detail of the hand hanging from the drum.

Because of how they were previously painted I think these may have come out a little messier than the previous unit. They still fit in well with the other unit and the rest of the army though, and I do'nt think it's noticeable when looking at the army as a whole. It's just been really great to get these large squads painted so quickly, the army is really coming together!
