Proper post today though. We're going to look at one of the new miniatures that is going in Sedition Wars: Battle for Alabaster - the Cthonian.
Phase 5 Strain are unique creatures - characters for the Strain really, so there is just one Cthonian.
Here is the SolCom scientific report on it -
Phase 5 Exo-form
– Cthonian
A
massive conglomeration of evolved bio-mass combined with a powered armour
carapace. The outer shell is a fully functional exoskeleton wrapped around a
squid-like body composed of extremely resilient tissue. Capable of regenerating
damage with dark matter conversion, this creature is nearly impossible to kill
without the use of high output energy weapons. In addition to its defensive
capabilities, the creature is armed with a gravitic beam weapon and a lethal
nano-weapon capable of mutating a living target almost instantly.
In
addition the Cthonian also seems to be able to exert the same empathic
influence on infected subjects as the Grendlr.
At
its core is a bio-organic computer, containing an amalgam of the Firebrand
Cthon AI and ancient nano-spore techno-directives. Recovery of this system is
of prime importance in understanding this outbreak.
And the concept from Roberto Cirillo -

That's now my favourite model in the Strain range. Great work. I love the mottling on the carapace.

Very very cool model. My new favorite in the Strain range. I can't wait to get my hands on it.
Am I right in thinking that in the concept, the top two pictures show just the organic parts of the Cthonian, and the new bits in the bottom two pictures are all mechanical augmentations?
Also, is there any chance of a short article on how Ali painted the mottled texture on the chitinous bits?
