Festering Honor Guard

"The soil of Valhalla is all wrong, the nutrients she has cocooned are peculiar and unpalatable, and her eggs refuse to hatch. Yet, all is not lost. In her desperation, Maladrix discovered a twisted solution: by injecting zygotes into living hosts, she has found a horrific new way to replace her losses." -Tome of Annihilation

These little dudes have such tiny details, but they were fun to paint! In the game, they can be implanted (by the hive queen) in enemy units and , at the end of each round, they have a small chance of bursting out, killing the host. Pretty nasty, but to reflect this, I thinned some red paint and used it as a wash to imply just such an event. I think it came together nicely!
