Clan Alibon is next. The second faction in the Invaders from Afar expansion for Scythe and also the last faction to paint in this series. They represent the Scotts and are green.

They look like little squatting chickletts. I went for a mossy green colour for the figures and then a mossy type wash from Citadel.

I added the metal parts to the figure, I went for the darker steel colour of metal. I wanted the whole figure to look more drab. Then a black wash and a brighter dry brush gave it depth.

I decided to go for mud and bog basing for the figure. Like the Scott moors and the animal for this faction is a hog so I thought it would be appropriate. I also wanted it to look wet. I mixed together a bunch of stuff for the base, fine sand, brown paint, and water effect. This made a thick paste that could be sculpted onto the base. Once dry I added some more water effect straight to the base in the deeper parts to make puddles. Finally I added the flocking that looks like reeds in the field.

Since the figure for this faction is wearing a kilt there was really no way out and I had to paint it with tartan. I had never done this before and it was hard. My lines are not steady or clean but at arms length it doesn’t look too bad at all.

The red on this figure really takes over, so I painted his jacked the same green as the mech and also all the bags and pouches on the hog.

All Done! I did it in time for Christmas in the end.

I’m very proud of how it all looks together in the end, it makes playing the game a much richer experience.
