Showcase: Ossiarch Bonereapers Teratic Prowlers

I’ve always been a big fan of the Ossiarch Bonereapers range, and with the release of Warcry: Briar and Bone, it was the perfect time to paint a few of these “bone samurai”. In this post, I’ll show you the Teratic Prowlers from the Teratic Cohort, which I used as test models for my upcoming Warcry warband.

The dog-like Teratic Prowlers are formed from the bones of unfit Mortek Soldiers and are doomed to eternally hunt their prey. But all I care about is whether these fierce little bone-doggos turned out to be good boys. Check out the Teratic Cohort kit in my Warcry: Briar and Bone review here.

Painting Prowlers

For the painting, I chose a combination of the Slapchop technique and a zenithal base coat, similar to what I used on my Skaventide Skaven. I primed the models with Colour Forge Drake Scale Green [similar to Stegadon Scale Green] and then applied a zenithal base coat using Warpaints Air Toxic Mist and WPA Yeti White [Corax White]. I followed this by gently drybrushing the models with VGC Dead White [White Scar]. I then washed the bone bodies with Vallejo Xpress Color Starship Steel [Gryph-Charger Grey], thinned with Contrast Medium for the larger, smoother bones. To sharpen the highlights, I mixed Vallejo Model Color Medium Grey Blue with white. To cover any patchy areas, I used pure VMC Medium Grey Blue mixed with P3 Coal Black [Incubi Darkness] as needed.

The inspiration for my colour scheme came from the ‘Eavy Metal version of Katakros, Mortarch of the Necropolis. I aimed for light construct bodies with a petrol-coloured hue and royal dark blue armour, complemented by bright white gold, green soul energy, and purple gems.

I hope you like my colour scheme; it’s quick and easy to work with. Next, I’ll be focusing on the Aviarch Harpies, and I aim to complete the entire Teratic Cohort of the Ossiarch Bonereapers, along with a fully furnished Warcry gaming board, by the end of the year. More on that soon here on Tale of Painters.
