At the border of the manling domain of Sylea, where the verdant land is pierced by the jagged peaks of the Dracos Tooth mountain range, the gateway to the Dead Lands.
Many foul beasts make their lair within the mountains, but none are more abhorrent than the loathsome Shaggoth! This abberation is said to be part ogre, part dragon and wields a mighty axe which can cleave a horse in twain.
Since the manlings first settled in these lands, they have been blighted by the Shaggoth’s penchant for pillage and slaughter. Many a hero has rode into the mountains to slay the beast, none has ever returned…
Lordy, that’s pretty! Where does one procure one of these Shaggoths?
It is a Games Workshop model. It is currently made from the lamentable ‘finecast’ resin but was originally made in metal. I got a metal one last year at a wargame show.
I have somehow managed to never paint a GW model! Beautiful work, sir.
Thank you. I have become bent upon collecting and painting the old GW minis that I used to see in White Dwarf magazine years ago but could never afford.
Lovely work on what is a fantastic model. Your work on it has paid off very nicely. I finally found an unpainted metal one on eBay last year, though Leonard the Cat took it down from the desk, so now it’s an unassembled, unpainted metal one.
Thank you for your kind words. That’s unfortunate, I dropped this fella while painting him but as luck would have it he stayed in one piece.
