Iron Painter #2: Villainous
Feb. 7th, 2010 02:26 pmThis is my entry from Iron Painter, Round 2. The theme this time around was "villainous" - so I've decided to use the contest as a good excuse to finally paint some Wyrd miniatures that I bought at GenCon Indy in 2007.
Wyrd now have a skirmish game called Malifaux, using all the figures they've sculpted to date. No idea how it plays, but the miniatures are nice... These figures mostly fit into the Resurrectionist faction: neo-Victorian necromancers and their assistants, with a host of different undead. I've also converted the figures a bit to make them fit in with an Unhallowed Metropolis RPG that I was planning to run.
From left to right:
Sebastian: "Doctor" with a bonesaw. No conversions here, but I tried some new techniques for gore and splatter using red ink, black paint, and an old paintbrush.
Mourner: Made from a Dark Age miniature (previously carrying a flamethrower), now with a new right arm, a rifle, and an umbrella to keep some of New London's acid rain at bay.
Nicodemus: One of the necromancers; usually carrying a vulture familiar on his right arm. Aristocrats in UnMet often pick up ranged weapons to stay away from the zombies, so I've given him a sniper rifle.
Mortimer: An Undertaker, with a multi-purpose shovel (and a jumper his Mum knitted for him). Good for dealing with uncontrolled zombies, or creating more bodies for the Master to raise.
Thrall: A familiar from Rackham's Confrontation line. When I saw the little creature lugging a shovel and a sack of body parts, I figured it needed to join the crew...
More pictures ( beneath the cut... )
