We’re back to the trashy D&D models today, this time both models are completely awful sculpts – to the level where if I wasn’t tracking everything that I paint with the blog I wouldn’t post them at all, and even then I’d not be posting them if I had some other monster models from the same set to bundle them in with. But with the days of May at their end, I’m just treating the blogging process for these two models the same way I had to treat the painting process – like ripping off a Band-Aid! Now apparently the Shadowdusk clan feature somewhat in the fiction of D&D, though I’m entirely ignorant of how important or how featured they are across the media, particularly this pair of siblings. Apparently they’re Death Knights and most likely undead by the point in the timeline that we’ll be encountering them in the aforementioned Dungeon.

It’s hard to understand how a company with any level of art editing would let these two sculpts through for anything beyond shitty grunts – let alone a pair of named characters of any importance. Even Gary Morley’s original Nagash sculpt was an imposing model! With that in mind, along with these sculpts being absolutely shit-awful, I decided to ignore the worn, rusted metal that they’re depicted as having and go straight to colourful plate. A little inspired by World of Warcraft in some ways, but equally since they’re supposed to be bosses of some description in the game, and plain armour with shitty underwhelming sculpts would just make them look like a pair of unimportant grunts. So to make them stand out, they both got metallic armour in different shades of purple, so they can both stand out from the grunts in the game while also being able to tell them apart.

Aaaand that’s pretty much it for these two…
