Slittabosses command the Hobgrot kompanies that maraud across the realms in search of plunder. They are not only the most physically imposing and dark-hearted of their kind but also the canniest. Each is a master swindler and murderous in ripping loot from the battlefield, no matter who currently possesses it.

Miniature Review

The Hobgrot Slittaboss is massive compared to the other Hobgrot Slittaz, he's not far off the size of on the regular Kruleboyz. The broad pose holding the massive sword, along with the spiked heads create a strong X shape that draws the eye to the centre of the model.

Painting Techniques

Skin

A full Skeleton Horde shade was applied using Lahmian Medium 1:2, followed by a second recess shade of Aggaros Dunes. It was then highlighted gradually from Hobgrot Hide to Ushabti Bone using mixes of the two paints to transition. A thin glaze of Volupus Pink was applied to areas like the face, elbows, knees, veins etc, and Aethermatic Blue was added around the eyes.

Leather

Cygor Brown was thinned using Lahmian Medium 1:1 as a shade.

Cloth

Red Ropes

The first highlight was Squig Orange : Ungor Flesh 1:1, followed by a second highlight of Squig Orange : Ungor Flesh 1:2.

Regular Ropes

Claws

Eyes

Copper

A first highlight of Screaming Bell and Stormhost Silver 1:1 was applied, followed by a recess shade of Wyldwood. A final highlight of Stormhost Silver was then applied.

Roundup

I followed the same recipe as the other Hobgrot Slittaz, but I did add a few extra details to make him stand out. These were mostly around the spiked heads, the blood on the sword and the scars. It's not my best paint job but it was quick at least and matches the rest of the hobgrots.
