Oathmark Barrow Worm

 Barrow or Ghoul Worms are enormous burrowing creatures that having consumed dead flesh have become undead themselves.

Necromancers can control (with difficulty) the creatures, unleashing them on their enemies.

Having wanted to add some heavy hitters to my undead army, I was looking for something suitable.
Crooked Dice had their Corpse Scavengers but they are rather complicated to assemble. They also have a Death Worm. This is a one piece resin model.
The model was undercoated with Citadel Corax White.
The base was painted with Humbrol Dark Earth 30. The body (except the claw/fangs) was painted with Citadel Rakarth Flesh. The claw/fangs were painted first with Vallejo Old Wood. This was followed by Vallejo Dark Sand. They were highlighted wit a mix of Vallejo Dark Sand, Vallejo White and Army Painter Stone Golem. The wound was painted with the same Dark Sand/White/Stone Golem mix with the holes painted with Citadel Mechrite Red. Open sores were painted with the Same Mechrite Red. Citadel Drakenhof Nightshade was applied to the sores. The pustules were painted with a White/Stone Golem mixture and then Citadel Gryphonne Sepia was applied. Citadel Drakenhof Nightshade was applied to the mouth.
