Painted in 2021, these nothics were the first time I had used Army Painter "tone" washes as a shade, believe it or not. Game changer! While the various "dip" paints get a bad wrap from many painters they really do speed things up, and these days speed is the name of the game for me. I tend to use them as a middle step in combination with classic layering, lining and washes, so my process is still a bit more involved than the standard Strong Tone paint-job.
I intentionally went very muted palate for the bodies so that the focus would be on their most remarkable attribute and weapon, the eye. Don't think bad thoughts around these fellas!
These models are 3D prints from Epic miniatures. Note to self: print more of their stuff! they have a huge catalog of things I need on the table.
My most immediate need was for LMoP, where a single nothic appears early on. I feel like I'm getting close to having all of the combat encounters in the module done! I'm sure I will finish next year sometime. I have started adding a label for monsters in that module so I can track my collection.
