Showcase: Killaboss Zagnog

Showcase: Killaboss Zagnog

Published 2024-08-19

Killabosses are the warlords of the Kruleboyz. Each has wrested their position from rivals by being not only a potent warrior but also possessed of true Morkish kunnin', willing to use anyone or anything to garner an advantage.

Miniature Review

Zagnog was released as a commemorative series miniature for the new edition of Age of Sigmar. Similarly to Murgruk they went with another small Kruleboy boss, rather than something bulkier and more powerful. The detail on the miniature is really sharp, especially around the face and shield, but overall for me it's a bit of a letdown and doesn't really stand out compared to even the gutrippaz.

This guy was fairly simple, I painted him using the same techniques as the Gutrippaz and the other Killabosses. I didn't spend too long on him as there wasn't much detail to really separate him out from others in the army.
