Presenting the Vulgar Militia on Deathcargot!
The kitbash concept started with the wonderful snails from OSM’s Wastelands line. Spare fishy bits from @LaketideMiniatures went along for the ride figuring I’d want a unit of six… uhh… something… These models languished a while as piles of bits. Something loosely turnip, not fitting on cav bases, not hobgobliny, awkward in concept…
Eventually… I latched onto the gnoblars as base models for riders due to posing but wanted something more reminiscent of vulgar militia from Elden Ring. Strutting around Elden Ring with two big ol bloody Vulgar Militia Saws is my favorite build. Weapon bits and easy conversion ideas of ragged cloth allowed me to fill the gaps my bits box was stalling me on. Salvation was also found for this unit… amongst dark eldar bits? There’s some tomb king arms, and a Tyranid mace tail… real shells… kinda a whole mess… I just kinda glued stuff together and wished all the problems away with strips of cloth green stuffing.

Painting was good fun, falling into place with a similar palette as my turnippy clothgoblins. Hopefully some dwarfs of this style are in my near future.
Vallejo dead flesh puts in most of the heavy lifting here… Then it was just wayyyy too many different brown paints… touches of my favorite warcolours violet and pink.
Overall they’re fun little goobers and I quite like them. I may just loot this style of painting for my Kroot.
