Showcase: Witcher Foglet

Published 2023-12-22

If night ever catches you in the swamps, stay put and wait for dawn, even if it means standing waist-deep in water with leeches crawling down your trousers. Most important of all, if you see a light in the fog, never, and I mean never, go towards it.

Miniature Review

The Foglet is one of the smallest miniatures in the box. It's a fairly simple sculpt, but has a good amount of detail on the face and a number of bones and mushrooms on the base. The cutout in the stomach looks a bit odd, but does make it easy to add the famous glow.

Roundup

To start with I really wasn't sure what colors to use. I wanted a dark bluish green, but didn't want it too dark to hide the details or too light to look like a fish monster. I think I got it about right, I could maybe have made the skin a bit more green, but I didn't want it looking like a goblin or orc. The glowing belly has come out ok for only using a few colors.
