This beasty is a 3D printed miniature from eBay. I just searched for 'boar miniature' and this was one of the results I found. It arrived in the mail with one of its tusks broken (darn posties 😒 ), but that was easily repaired with glue.
Stupidly, after finishing all the painting and basing, I snapped its legs when I was removing the miniature from the blue tac I used to secure it to the handle I use to hold miniatures with as I paint them. Much cursing and a little more super glue later, its back together. So you may notice some weird glue gum around the base of the legs. The actual miniature doesn't have that obviously.
Painting was simple enough. I just did the following:
* basecoat in black spray
* wet brushed the model in dark brown
* heavily dry brushed the model in grey
* dry brushed the hair in dark grey
* painted the tusks in a variety of browns and tans
* inked the tusks in Agrax Earthshade
* inked the base in Agrax Earthshae - Gloss (this was to create a wet muddy ground look)
* paint eyes in Blood Red.
A pretty basic paint job but it looks great on the table or on the board for our role playing game.
So this beast is the "grown-up" version of one of the players pet's, a pig. Which just happens to also be a transforming wereboar. Something she found out by accident when both her and her pig were suddenly beset by ghouls. Fun story producing much delight to her and the others around the table.
