A striga is a human woman transformed into a monster by a curse. She is filled with hatred towards all living beings, devouring them without a second thought. She only comes out on a full moon to hunt, fighting with incredible speed and strength.

Miniature Review

I really enjoyed the Striga cinematic from Witcher 1, and it's one of the few scenes from the TV show that was done fairly well. However, I'm not the biggest fan of this type of monster being a bit too bulky for the size for my liking.

However, I think they did a decent job of the sculpt and I much prefer the look of it having arms rather than four legs that I've seen in some artwork. I also like the base, and wish more had something to stand on as it gives it more height and a more dynamic pose.

I then applied Blood for the Blood God in various places over the miniature and base.

For all miniatures in the set I'm using a mix of GamersGrass tufts and flowers.

Roundup

I was really unhappy with it at the start. I wanted a lot lighter blue, but I wanted enough coverage that it wouldn't look like a wash over white. I thought Stormfiend would be the right color, but it came out far too dark. When I tried thinning it, it just applied patchy. In the end I had to go back to regular layering to salvage it, but it has created a final result I'm fairly happy with.
