Of all the Snatchabosses, Skumdrekk is the vilest and most kunnin'. As such, he has become a sort of celebrity to the Kruleboyz of Ghur. Owner of the Murkvast Menagerie – a huge, drained mangrove swamp that acts as prison for scores of vicious and unusual beasts – Swampboss Skumdrekk is a living legend. He rides into battle on his most prized conquest, Sloppklaw, the unusually fierce sludgeraker beast he turned to his will as a younger orruk.

Skumdrekk and Sloppklaw are embodiments of kunnin' in battle. They spring out of concealment in skirmishes, abducting poor souls left and right and slaughtering those who resist with a combined flurry of attacks from snatcha-stikk, venom-encrusted claws, and swamp-rotted jaws. A potent force on the battlefield and a consummate Kruleboyz commander, Skumdrekk also has a reputation for gambling, and is frequently accompanied into combat by his Kountin' Krew – a gang of Hobgrotz who gleefully take bets on which of their allies will be the first to fall.

This kit is comprised of 66 plastic components, with which you can assemble one Swampboss Skumdrekk, and is supplied with a Large Oval Base. This model can alternatively be assembled as a Snatchaboss on Sludgeraker Beast. This miniature is supplied unpainted and requires assembly – we recommend using Citadel Plastic Glue and Citadel paints.

Games Workshop have two broad methods for painting their models. Both are entirely viable options, though have significant differences in the paints required (detailed below). You can find all of the required paints in the 'recommended paint' section below, whether you simply want to get it out onto the tabletop ASAP (i.e. 'Battle Ready'), or want to take your time and make it a masterpiece (i.e. 'Parade Ready'):

1. Classic Method - uses acrylic paints to build layers of colour and depth. Usually topped off with a shade paint to really make the shadows pop. Probably the most beginner friendly method as mistakes are often easy to fix.

2. Contast Method - uses ink-like contrast painsts which sink into recesses, providing depth in highlights and shadows with a single layer of paint. It can take some practise to get this method to look great, but it's highly satisfying when it does work. Less forgiving when mistakes happen, though arguably the quicker method of the two options.
