The Ossiarch tithemasters often demand their grisly bounty be left at designated nexuses of power. The soul energy and raw bone of these sites can be drawn upon to heal nearby Ossiarch constructs. If the vassals and mortals nearby refuse the tithe or break contract, the statue at the nexus’ heart lets loose its deadly gaze.
This terrain piece casts its deadly gaze over the battlefield and punishes any who defy the will of Nagash.
I got this piece to fit my Eternian terrain theme. I thought this would be the perfect opportunity to finally go with some purple Snake Mountain themes as I have got a lot of Grayskull Green.
I really enjoyed how this turned out.
Very cool! That purple and green combo is excellent, fits very nicely with your aesthetic, and at the same time the more naturalistic bones help to ground the piece.
ReplyDeleteHow did you paint it?
Thanks! I primed it various shades of purple, gave it a black wash and then drybrushed the highlights. I then dry brushed the bones up to white. When I walked in one day I noticed the over brushes of white looked like mist and it gave me the idea to add green like it was glowing. So basically me rushing and making mistakes gave me the idea to have wispy green glowing around the bones. LOL Hope that helps.
DeleteLooks excellent, the colours really work well together. Great piece of terrain and a good sculpt!
ReplyDeleteIt really is fun and has that Snake Mountain look to fit my game terrain aesthetic.
DeleteThat’s an amazing set piece. I love the colors you went with. Awesome job! I really want to play on this beautiful terrain you are painting.
ReplyDeleteI would love to have games where people can come in. If I didnt live seriously in the middle of no where.
DeleteWhilst I think the whole Ossiarch range is garbage for the most part, this kit painted in your “Snake Mountain” (tm) scheme looks bloody good!
ReplyDeleteWhat abilities will it get in game?
Ya I'm not a fan of the range, butthis terrain piece is perfect. I see it having several abilities depending on game objectives or whatever is needed. You should no by now my gaming is very adaptable to fit what i need at the moment. ;)
DeleteFor a second I thought you'd gotten hacked by AoS spammers, but the green and purple make it all good. ;-) *phew* Sorry I doubted you, Grove. This will make a fantastic target, er objective rather in your next game. :)
ReplyDeleteHey I'm all in on Warcry and I dont mind modern pieces if they fit a certain look that I need. ;)
DeleteI respect this about you, sir. Completely and honestly. It's not the age of the toy. It's how you play with it. And you, sir, play very well.
DeleteIt fits really well, skeletor approves!
ReplyDeleteI find the bone color clashing with the purple tho... maybe it's me but bones could use yellowing or perhaps purple or green on the nooks and crannies.
GJ anyways!
I totally get what you are saying. I just chose to make this quick and dirty. Glad skeletor approves. ;)
DeleteThe Nexus is one of the stand out items from the Ossiarch range.
ReplyDeleteIt has a classic fantasy look, like something from the background of a Conan illustration.
I love your Warhol-via-Eternia paint jobs too, as you know airbornegrove26. There is enough brown in the world already :D
Many thanks my friend. You've been a wealth of inspiration with terrain and other things lately that I will be sharing very soon.
DeleteThat piece is fantastic. I love it.
ReplyDeleteReally appreciate it.
DeleteOh, wow, that's an impressive piece! And I really like the colour choices you took. So cool!
ReplyDeleteGlad you enjoy it Suber!
DeleteLove it! It reminds of one of my favorite death metal album covers - Domination from Morbid Angel. :D
ReplyDeleteIt does look similar.
