How I painted my 2000 AD Skullswords armed with Axe and Shield
0Welcome adventurers! Today, we turn our hands to painting a unit of three skullswords from the 2000 AD game Slaine: Kiss my Axe by Warlord Games. We are experimenting with flesh tones and speed paints, and I will endeavour to show you a quick and dirty way to get these models painted and on the table.
Background
Skull Swords are characters from the 2000 AD strip Sláine. They are the personal soldiers of the Lord Weird Slough Feg, Slough Throt and the other Drune Lords.
In general, the job of a Skull Sword is to act as brute muscle, killing civilians, looting villages and bringing their master's sacrifices. They made their début in the first-ever episode of Sláine when they wanted to arrest Sláine and Ukko for the impious act of killing a time monster (a sort of giant dinosaur). The pair foiled them by escaping into the sewers.
Skull Swords were next seen taking a third of the healthy children from a village as 'tribute' so that they could be fed to the Lord Weird Slough Feg. The desperate villagers were told that without their children, there would be more food to go around.
During the 'Horned King' saga, many Skull Swords turned on their masters after Sláine informed them they would be killed once they had outlived their usefulness. A small number remained loyal but only ended up being killed by Sláine and his axe Brainbiter.
