Catachan Jungle Fighter from Warhammer 40000.

Veteran Sergeant Katra van Blaze, Arcadian 4th Marine Infantry Regiment "Devilbacks", day 128 of the siege of Khan Senhi combat base by Heretic Guard forces, Evioc Eleven campaign.

*** Who knew that Catachan take very well to be painted as Vietnam Marines. Now GW just needs to release a new infantry kit for them and I'd be willing to do more of them.

Also, realised earlier that I have now painted up Minka Lesk, Severina Rayne and now Ripper Jackson all with non-caucasian skin tones. Without even planning to do so.

Otherwise, biggest hassle was freeing her cybernetic leg from the overly elaborate base it came attached to. It took some careful scalpel work, but got it off without too much damage to the model. Or the base bits. Really wish they would stop doing that. It's annoying.

Beyond that, very uncomplicated project, beyond me having to strip the bolter after painting it, because it turns out it won't assemble properly with paint on it due to how the kit has been split up. Which was slightly annoying to find out.

Also I spent way too much time trying to figure out how to do the proper reddish brown tint of the soil.

"Major Wulf Khan"

A mercy their name is not some americana name like "Sergeant Jackson" or "Captain Roger Roger".

Eight Comics to Sooth a Savage Soul

From Primordial Warriors and Jungle Heroes to Woodland Wildmen and Mutant Berserkers, here are eight comics appeasing our animalistic, hunter/predator-fight or flight-lizard brains. Reminders that man is just an animal trapped in his own zoo

Lord of the Jungle (2022)

A compelling tale starring the og jungle hero, Tarzan! I picked this up on a whim and it became one of my most anticipated reads each month. The writing pulled me through each page as effortlessly as the gorgeous art swings Tarzan from tree to tree

Ka-Zar Lord Of The Savage Land (2021)

Ka-Zar is essentially Marvel’s answer to Tarzan. With animal based powers and a family to protect against the invasive technological metaphor for deforestation, fracking and industrial pollution, this is a really cool and gorgeous miniseries

All Against All (2022)

Pushing “Tarzan” even further into the realm of sci-fi than “Ka-Zar”, this story centers parental trauma around an alien war mining Earth’s creatures for biological weaponry. Ultra violent with hyper intense art enhancing the vibes

Sheena Queen of the Jungle: Fatal Exams (2023)

Sheena is back and is now attending prep school? I’m gonna be honest, not having read any previous “Sheena”, I’m not really sure why she’s there or how old she’s supposed to be, but the school drama is fun between her ecoterrorism!

Bloodrik (2023)

A hyborian hunter looking to eat! This is a 3 issue mini, with the finale issue set to drop next month. Minimalist storytelling sets the stage for phenomenal art with heavy metal overtones, while it’s unique page layouts are giving CLAMP on T

Kroma (2022)

This comic is very different from the others on this list, playing a sort of twist on the Giver crossed with elements of the Wickerman. An absolutely stunning story about propaganda, religious indoctrination, and a sacrificial scapegoat ready to bring it all down

Shirtless Bear-Fighter! (2017)

Are you ready to punch some bears!? Shirtless dedicated his life to protecting the forest, until something happened that turned him onto the war against bearrorism! A really cute comedy with a surprising amount of depth. Raunchy but fairly tame tbh

Wolverine (2020)

Of course I’m adding the most iconic wild man of our time to the list! The current run is a great place to start, especially when paired with X-Force (2020), but any entry in his bibliography is gonna be a wild, messy ride from start to finish.

Thanks for reading my list! Hopefully one of them peaked your interest enough to check out. Here are a few savagely honorable mentions that’re also definitely worth looking into:

Animal Man, Berserk, Conan the Barbarian, Red Sonja, Sabretooth, Swamp Thing

What are some of y’all favorite wild man comics?

I want the Catachan girls to step on me...

This is heresy, but I'll allow it.
