Playing all those undead lately must have got to my head... I've never found zombies, ghouls and most undead as appealing as now...
Like some sort of sign from destiny, I was offered the chance to paint a few of the scavengers by Macrocosm. Those just fit perfectly with the kind of characters I want to be able to put on the table just to put a bit of pressure on players.
Those have been sculpted by Adam Gayford and the sculpts have a very nervous and straight to the point style that makes them both enjoyable and quick to paint.
Since they were all wearing the same sort of outfit, I opted for a semi military/militia look which will make them stand from the mass of soulless meatbags around them.
Painting wise, you might have noticed a bit of "influence" or "inspiration" from John Carpenter's "they live".
If you want to get those scavengers (and there's more coming), go check them out HERE as a limited edition set before the Kickstarter airs.
Now with those in the pipes, I realised I had 3 Mantic ghouls left half done on my desk. They were models I had forgotten to build when My brother Crooks and I had this little painting challenge. Just like for the first 8, I really went for the most shameless speed painting standard which, given the nature of the model and standrad of the sculpts, you'll forgive.
Three is a crowd but 3+8=11 is even better of a crowd and looks a bit more menacing in the streets of whichever city or town I'll make them roam...
I'm very glad to now have a good variety of space undead to populate tables or maybe to use in a campaign I might have the idea of...
Oh yes, that's right, can't really think of having zombies in the underhive without #justiceforgary, can I ? (I can't).
In the meantime, I have to prepare a few things for a gaming convention in a couple of weeks. I'll have the occasion to see a few friends and meet new ones, all around good gaming opportunities. Could be worse.
Oh and just because (one of my favourite CC songs) :
Another brilliant collection of miniatures!!
ReplyDeleteCheers mate !
DeleteThis crowd is... So full of life :) great job !
ReplyDeleteThey're so full of it they literally won't die !
DeleteBrilliant mate, those scavangers are really smart - I'll have to keep my eye open for the KS! Oh, and the ghouls are pretty darn cool too :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks, I hope they'll see some action soon enough ! ^^
DeleteSuch beautiful colors on the undead. :)
ReplyDeleteCheers, they're pretty simple, just tried to keep things not too saturated.
DeleteWow, those are quite the sight! Good paintjobs on great sculpts. Excited to see those Necromunda zeds given [un]life too!
ReplyDeleteI'm eager to get to them as well !
