Skull Brethren Part 6: Mere Mortals


Hey guys, back with the World Eaters again. This time we are looking at the small folk of the Skull Brethren. The Jakhal Cultists. I really liked the look of the Jakhals when they came out. They have a lot of character. Although they are a bit of a pain to build. Connecting those chains with the wrists with my ogre fingers was a bit frustrating.

In my warbands lore, The Skull Brethren uses lots of Jakhals. Draxxigor Bloodhowler is the mortal commander of the Skull Brethren, he's famed for his ability to drive mortal cultists into suicidal frenzies, using his booming, vox-amplified war howls to whip the cultists up.

I lost the blood backpack on the icon bearer. I know its somewhere in my room but for the life of me, can't seem to find it. I submitted and the bit is coming via ebay.

When I started painting the Jakhals, I wanted to use all of the skin tones I had at my disposal, but when I used pallid wych flesh paint for this skin they started to look like the Warboys from the recent Mad Max Fury Road movie. So I chose to make another squad all pallid flesh. It helps to differentiate the units. I would like to think that the "Warboys" Jakhals are from the Apocalypse Imminent, the Skull Brethren's space hulk and they are pale because they haven't seen sunlight for ages or something like that.

So there are my Jakhals, next time we will look forward to my plans with the World Eaters.
