OK, I kow I've been posting quite a lot lately but today's a bit peculiar. It's been 2 days I'm stuck at home with a bloody headache and nausea. Bless paracetamol and a stupid stubbornness that won't allow me to end a day without at least one small achievement. I've decided to paint what felt like an easy model.
The model is a pack mootant from Wasteman by Thunderchild miniatures. I strongly recommend you to have a look at the stuff there if like me you're a massive Fallout fan.
I like the sculpt, it's very nervous and straight to the point and I really mean this as a compliment. Very effective and immediately evocative. I wish I had got some of the unpacked ones now...
But what could I use a pack mootant for I hear you ask ? Seriously ?

Have a good one you all ;)
Thunderchild mini does awesome minis. Yet this one never particularly caught my eye. I have to admit, under your brush, it's becoming veery nice. And perfectly suit a wasteland brawl :)
ReplyDeleteI did more than a basic job on this one really. Jason (TC miniatures' boss) is a very good painter and I do like his style a lot. I had often thought about getting this model but it first came with pilgrims I had little use for. Now it comes as a stand alone, it's a no brainer really.
DeleteDamn you JB, I wanted one of these first! I just never got round to buying any. Now it will just look like I'm copying you!!
ReplyDeleteNothing like copying between us Jon ! Mere cross inspiration at worst. I'll need some of the unpacked ones. ^^
DeleteOne day we'll come together and place all of our complementary models and terrain in one awesome mega-game / display. Your mootant will lumber past my alien pet seller, while my navigator will try and pick up an Eldar hooker :)
DeleteYou're just wording a fantasy of mine ^^
DeleteLovely painting, you've captured that down-trotten beast of burden look very well. I like the different skin tones too.
ReplyDeleteThunderchild miniautres are great, I picked up a couple of them at Salute this year. This creature would work nicely in evil/Chaos armies baggage trains.
Hope you are feeling better now, keep up the painting. :)
It's getting better thanks ;)
DeleteThere are many possible uses for those really !
Nice work. Hope you are feeling better
ReplyDeleteCheers !
DeleteAstounding that you can paint to this standard when ill!! I really need to paint the minis I just like the look of more rather than for upcoming games
ReplyDeleteIt was mostly washes on top of a Zenithal preshading ^^.
DeleteI cannot advise you enough to paint models you want to paint every now and then instead of painting ones you need/have to paint. To improve both quality and quantity, I've really noticed pleasure was the key these last 3 years. Every 3 or 5 or ten models, it really depends on how you feel but it should never be a chore the way I see it.
I've had a chat about this with other guys and it often came up that when tired of painting, painting something else was often a solution as weird as it may seem.
O so much character and very fitting for your game's setting! The eyes are what makes this piece for me. Nicely done mate.
ReplyDeleteCheers, it's one of those little pieces that can add a lot of depth in a game I reckon, I'll have a few more if I can.
DeleteThat's one funky looking beast of burden! <3
ReplyDeleteAs a fallout fan, I just felt in love with it !
DeletePretty nice work indeed. I also have this model (and others from the ranges) on my radar, really cool to see you r work on it!
ReplyDeleteGet well soon!!
I already feel better thanks ;)
DeleteI think those will fit perfectly well in your own setting !
Lovely job mate, such a useful thing to have... Now I need to get some, damn you! Get well soon mate ;-)
ReplyDeleteI need MOAR myself !
DeleteI love that last photograph - great stuff.
ReplyDeleteCheers, these are the kind I'd like to do more of eventually ^^
DeleteDis donc tu ne t'arrêtes plus toi en ce moment !! ^^
ReplyDeleteJe n'ai pas eu le temps de commenter toutes les dernières sorties mais c'est de l'excellent boulot comme d'habitude ^^
Serviteur,
