Another
Enemy Pack for Shadows of Brimstone, this time the Swamp Slugs of Jargono. As I
mention in the
previous post on Hell Vermin, I’ve got these two packs that are not a part
of the Kickstarter a while ago.
I
was a bit sceptical about these first, as they needed quite a bit of
green-stuff to be presentable, but when that was done… I really like them. The ick-factor
is great with these carnivorous slugs.
In
my mind they are ambush-predators, lying in wait, submerged and with only the
eyestalks visible. When an unsuspecting prey comes close they rear up and
attack. Also, as they have teeth and fangs I think that they are far more than
slugs, so I gave them a pink-red fleshy underside and mouth.
I
do believe they came out really well, and look forward to see them on the
gaming table (possibly in tonight’s game)

ReplyDeletein a good way :-)
DeleteYep, excellent painting. Still YUCK!!!
DeleteWill you buy any for your game?
DeleteSplendid beasts!
ReplyDeleteNot if you're a 28mm hero :-)
DeleteLovely...if that is the right word...and the sliminess is spot on!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Gordon!
ReplyDeleteReally pleased with the end result, but I do think our heroes will curse them in tonights game (if they meet)
Love their slimy look, wonderfully gruesome.
ReplyDeleteIt is a great concept. Poisonous slugs with fangs and big teeth.... shudder
DeleteLooking fab, agree with the others they look really icky. They can be a tough threat with the endurance rule ( and elite level buffs ) depending on your hero's capability's.I hope you meet them soon and then wish you hadn't 8P. Brian.
ReplyDeleteWe met all three.
DeleteThat was the last that bunch of heroes saw :-)
They are incredibly tough!
They look disgusting - in the nicest possible way! I can see them being great for all kinds of horror, Pulp and SF scenarios.
ReplyDeleteI like my monsters versatile, and these certainly are. I guess they will see action in other games too, Pulp Alley comes to mind.
DeleteSuperb DEADLY slimy looking slugs
ReplyDeleteHaving faced these beasties last night I can say that their ICK!-facktor is nothing compared to their OUCH!-factor. Those are very, very brutal beasties!
ReplyDeleteStill, it says a lot for Brimstone that we got kerb-stomped twice in one evening and still had great fun and want to to it again.
It was great fun seeing your characters being smashed to pieces... after mine was beaten to a pulp...
DeleteYes, there was some ultra-violence done there, mostly to the poor heroes.
In our defence, we did dish out some fine tolchockings from time to time. Just not enough. Not enough by far.
