Premium Content: Marilith and Episode 4 of “The Hopeful Dopes”

April 8, 2021

Oh, Dear Subscribers, do I have a surprise for you! I have had some great progress on the Marilith, and although she’s not quite done, I got a bit further. You’ll see what I mean.

Six-armed, snake-bodied figure holding swords. Dark skin, green scaled tail. On a small grey base.
Miniature figurine of a multi-armed warrior with a serpentine body, holding swords, and wearing armor; green and brown.

This is her with the first coat of shading on her, Agrax Earthshade by Citidel. I like it because it’s not too dark and it’s not too light. The only issue here? She needs more than one coat of shade! She’s a big girl, so it was needed.

Miniature figure of a snake with a warrior riding it, holding a bow and staff.
Six-armed green-skinned naga wielding swords. Dark armor, snake tail, on a stone base.

As you can see, the second coat of shading was a necessity. It really brought out the scales on her tail, and the larger scales/vertical lines on her abdomen scale things (oh, I’m not sure what it’s called; the part on the bottom that’s lighter!). Due to the multiple coats needed to dry, and the fact that I don’t like drying miniatures artificially (leaving them to dry naturally is best in my opinion), I couldn’t begin doing the drybrushing, which is what is last here. I really think that you’ll like the final look, though.


Episode 4 of “The Hopeful Dopes”

For those of you unaware, our very good friend who plays Talion (and played Rain; he’s on his third character of the campaign; just bad luck!) is also our chief editor for the podcast. He’s done some amazing work, and I hope you enjoy this week’s edition!
