Starting with the Gark, I chose a colour scheme that was somewhat inspired by a crown of thorns starfish - a bluish body with red spines. I figured his belly needed to contrast, hence the cream colour. I tried to make a spotted transition between the colours, and it kinda worked but not as good as I had imagined in my mind. It was good practice though!
All in all I am happy with the result. The armour on the right arm and the crystal trident are my favourite parts. It was also fun to try a different paint scheme from the official pictures.
Next up was the Steel Jaw Placoderm Fish. This beast of a model painted up quite easily. The details are quite pronounced which made drybrushing and highlighting quite simple. I chose a few colours at random, and here was my result:
I don't think I would want to see that while snorkeling for treasure...
Here is a group shot of the finished Horde. Next up, I will start to chip away at some Fortune Hunters to oppose them.
Hope you like it!
