But what about the animals?

 

So I've hit a wall on playable classes. I'm waiting for the last 6 warriors to get printed. What I do have printed are summons//companions. The Kislevite Shaman has spells for summoning Bear, Dire Bear, Crow Swarm, and Wolves. The Amazon has a companion that changes between Jungle Cat, Monkey, and Snake. So lets knock out some animals.

First up Crow Swarm.

While adding our Sewer Expansion we added Rat Swarm as an enemy. Swarm grants the following ability:

Swarm
Swarms may move through any space even if another model or obstacle happens to be there, moving models out of the way like a large monster. While the swarm is adjacent to its target, the target is considered engulfed, losses Never Pinned,  and can’t break pinning.

Close combat attacks, missile attacks, and spells that come from models other than the Swarm and its engulfed victim, that target either of the two models must roll a D6 to see what models are affected by the action. On a 1-3, both the Swarm and engulfed victim, are affected by the action, and on a 4+ only the intended target is affected. Swarms take up a 2x2 space just like large monsters.

When re-writing the rules for Kislevite Shaman, I added some some summoning spells to the his spell book. I thought summoning Crows would be neat so I added Crow Swarm. Each of the Shaman's summon spells can only be cast once per adventure, and summoning monsters Unsummons any current Summons.

Carrion Feeders
Each time a non-undead model dies adjacent to a Crow Swarm, the Swarm heals D6 wounds (healing up to a maximum of Starting Wounds).

This summon is quite powerful early on, but quickly becomes only a minor distraction at mid to high levels.

The model I found was originally for the board game Zombicide and I found it on Telegram.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Paint Job is simple. 
Feathers: "Abaddon Black" with "Dawnstone" grey dry brush.
Feet & Legs: "Flash Gits Yellow" /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash
Beaks: "Screaming Skull" /w "Skeleton Horde" Wash

The next summon for the Shaman is Wolves:

The Shaman summons between 1-2 wolves, depending on the summoners level and the type of wolf also depends on the level of the Shaman. The wolves are reasonably good through most levels, though at level 8 or higher they die rather fast.

I'm still trying to keep a 3rd-5th edition look, so I'm just using the classic Wolf model from goblin chariots. These models were again found on Telegram.

Paint Job is simple. 
Fur: "Corax White" with "Scar White"
Claws: "Screaming Skull" /w "Skeleton Horde" Wash
Tongue: "Mephiston Red"
Teeth: "Scar White"
Mouth, Eyes, Inner Ears, & Nose: "Abaddon Black"

The last animal summon is Bears. 

The Shaman can only ever have one Bear and the type of bear depends on the Shaman's level. The bear is never very dangerous, but can absorb a ton of damage.

I'm not sure where I found these, probably on Yeggi.

 

Paint Job is simple. 

Fur: "Corax White" with "Scar White"
Claws: "Screaming Skull" /w "Skeleton Horde" Wash
Tongue: "Mephiston Red"
Teeth: "Scar White"
Mouth, Eyes, Inner Ears, & Nose: "Abaddon Black"

Here is all the summons and both Kislevite Shaman models.

The Amazon has a companion that joins here on missions. Each time she returns to a settlement, she has a chance to make a new companion to replace the current one (or get one if the last one died). It's random which of the 3 she gets and some times she fails to find a companion. The stats of the companion are determined by the level of the Amazon, so the companions get better as the Amazon does.

Jungle Cat. I found this model on Yeggi.

Top Fur: "Kislev Flesh"  /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash
Under Fur: "Kislev Flesh" /w "Skeleton Horde" Wash
Ears and Snout: "Scar White"
Stripes, Inner Ears, & Eyes: "Abaddon Black"

Monkey. I think this is a GW model, some times called "Powder Monkey".

Fur: "Catachan Flesh"  /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash
Feather in Hat: "Flash Gits Yellow" /w "Skeleton Horde" Wash
Hat: "Mephiston Red"  /w "Skeleton Horde" Wash
Face: "White Scar" /w "Agrax Earthshade" Wash
Barrel: "XV-88" /w "Skeleton Horde" Wash

 

Snake. This is one of the snakes from Lizardmen Snake swarm.

Top Scales: "Moot Green"
Underbelly: "Flash Gits Yellow" 
Eyes: "White Scar" 

All the Amazon's companions together. Still waiting on the Amazon to successfully print.

I'm up to 43 Warriors & Pals painted, 45 are 3D printed of the 72 needed as of 11/10/25. 

That's all for this post, may your lantern always stay lit.

DeMagic Tutor out.
