Second Batch of Gloam-Hyyn

There have been some distractions, real life and other hobby projects, but a second group of Gloam-Hyyn have rolled off of the painting desk.

This group includes a Medic, made from a rhyfler who's carbine broke during shipping. So I cut the stock off and gave him some Crusader small packs. Along with bandages and pain killers, he's got jars of salves for treating the various bites, parasites, and infections that soldiers everywhere get fighting in jungles and swamps.

A Messenger Squirrel Handler.

An officer who has "Gone Native." In the fluff, officers are attached from the Coftyran Crymuster, much like British officers attached to the Indian Army during the Raj. So they wear their blue Coftyran uniforms and rubber hip waders. Don had printed me extra officers, and I had a rhyfler who had a broken rhyfle, so I thought "why not put an officer torso on rhyfler legs and add some camouflage netting and neck curtain?"

The camouflage netting is made from cheese cloth and tea leaves. The neck curtain is made from shop rag.

Easier said than done. The join was a mess, and required me to use Miliput, not just superglue. So at the back I hid it with a scabbard, small pack and small bed roll. In the front I made a big tasseled knot from embroidery thread and tried to make it look like a sash.

In retrospect, I should have swapped arms, and put officer arms on the rhyfler body. Although I can't remember if the rhyfler body I started with had its arms away from the body. Most of the poses don't, so it would have been impossible if that where the case.

Another broken weapon resulted in this rhyfler getting an SMG with drum magazine from the Tolly-Maeryn figures, which just required trimming the cuff a bit. He will probably become the QM Yawdryl and mind the Ganga pack beast I've built for this force.

Finally 6 more rhyflers with carbines and a rhyfler with cryfen LMG. I forgot to grab a Yawdryl for them to complete the squad. Oops. Although I guess the fellow above could be their Squad Leader too.

Up next is the fourth and final squad of rhyflers, some more HQ figures, and the start of their Scout and Tracker Section.
