Whilst I was doing camo capes last week, I used the opportunity to polish off this character. He's a stealthy space wizard, using his abilities to mask his brothers' efforts. The force sword came out much better than I expected, and I like the chequered bookmark.
Skull-o-meter™: 10
I've painted those three and touched up my earlier standing Eliminator- I've changed the markings to reflect the 10th Company. I like how his pauldron is proudly on display.
I've painted another rifleman to join my growing infantry section.
Lest we forget.
I love 40K Cherubs. They perfectly encapsulate the grimdark bonkersness of it all.
They are vat-grown bio-constructs designed to look like babies. No truth to the rumour they are lobotomised infants, no. These cherubim are carrying ammunition canisters and a censer. At some point I may add more details to their scrolls.
I have an idea for a bitter AdMech aspirant who discovers how cherubs are 'made'- the true horror is that he could do it 1.4% more efficiently! Cue conflicts and shenanigans.
Skull-o-meter™: 2
Caryatids are bizarre blue things in the underhive. They are said to bring good luck. They have been associated with Necromunda since the before-times of Confrontation (1990).
This is a plastic Caryatid Prime from 2024.
You will recall my previous Robin Hood post from January 2016. For some very meta theme nostalgia, I'm revisiting the subject ten years later.
These Merry Men are from Slave 2 Gaming. They're Mike Broadbent sculpts, but they're not his best. I did them quickly with Speedpaints, and they came out OK in the end. Absolution Green, Forest Sprite, Pallid Bone, Hardened Leather and Satchel Brown were staples, with a few other greens and browns for variety.
I asked the AHPC Antipodean chat what colour Maid Marion's dress should be, and blue was the answer. I painted Will Scarlet scarlet, but it's the sculpt for Alan-a-Dale with a lute on his back.
I also found a missing Bretonnian squire, and did a quick paint job on him. I really should have spent time doing highlights, he's a lovely Perry sculpt. Maybe later. You can buy these figures again now, $A15 each... (the S2G ones are < $4 each)...
I painted the figures from We're in the pipe, five by five, the expansion for Aliens: Another glorious day in the Corps. It is not a snappily-named series. After the above photo, I went back and added more details to their patches and her glasses.
