Gorgai Blood Sister

I used lots of interesting techniques on this Gorgai Blood Sister! I made the drips of blood by supergluing my own hair to the heart and then running gloss varnish on it, once that was dry I gave it a coat of Blood for the Blood God.

Gorgai Blood Sisters are powerful warriors used as bodyguards to High Priestesses or Bloodwrack Medusae, or as a potent vanguard for the war covens. Each Gorgai Blood Sister is equipped with a heartshard glaive – a heavy polearm ideal for driving driving through armour and ribs to cut out an opponent’s heart.

Gorgai, the unit leader: she can be distinguished by her uniquely jeweled mask, specific heartshard glaive and her grisly trophy – the heart of an unfortunate victim, clutched proudly in her left hand. 

The NMM gold is painted using XV-88, Moot Green, Balor Brown, Dorn Yellow, White
