The Divine Demon Molgolgoth was once said to be able to reveal great treasure and divine inspiration to those willing to sacrifice to his idols. Now, the idols are left alone, to molder in the dark depths of the Underworld or within the shifting bounds of the forest realms.

This is a wargaming terrain piece that I printed on my Bambu A1 Mini. I then glued some Citadel Creeping Vines onto it to make it look like it has been overgrown with vines and ivy.
I’m not quite sure where I got the STL file from, but I think it was MZ4250 ? However, I can’t seem to find the exact file.
First, I sprayed him with multiple layers of cheap spray paint. I didn’t use the gaming specific stuff for this step as I explictly wanted something thicker than normal to try to cover the layer lines, which I think I’ve managed to do.
I then glued on the vines. I did this after the first set of spraying as I didn’t want the multiple layers of spray paint to clog up the details on the vines.
Sprayed again, this time with Army Painters Matt Black spray for a fine layer of primer. After this, I glued him onto a cardboard base, applied some texture paint to the base, then decided that I didn’t actually like the look of that and I removed it. Alas, I did not take any photos of that but if you see some bits of left over ground, that’s why.
I then used a makeup sponge to apply a layer of Deep Grey+Warlock Purple on top of the figure.
Applied another sponge later of a lighter paint, making sure to move the angle of sponging more towards the top of the figure.
Applied a final, more red layer and then basecoated the vines with a brown and green.
I then basecoated the red gems with a dark red, painted the bowl with a Silver Speedpaint (that I didn’t like and painted over later)and applied an Army Painter Strong Tone wash over the ivy.
I then painted the gemstone eyes, trying to use the technique I found here from Vince Venturella. I don’t think I did a very good job of it to be honest but I think I did well enough to kind of sell the effect. Finally, I covered the bowl with a layer of Warpaints Fanatic Shining Silver to cover up the speedpaint that didn’t work quite like I wanted it to.
The final model with some other figures to scale.
I think it’s come out pretty well. It’s not going to win any awards but it’s the first terrain piece that I’ve done for a few months and I enjoyed painting him. At the end of the day, enjoying your hobby is what's really important about it.
