Scribbs' Incidental Diversions
Mercenaries
These are the first half of a set of resin mercenary figures sculpted by Meridian Miniatures and based on artwork by Black Crab Art.
I’ve had these for almost a year now, mainly as I was a bit intimidated about painting them. I sometimes worry about doing justice to good quality figures, which can lead to them getting sidelined, completely negating the point in buying them in the first place. Normally as soon as I start putting colour down, everything gets easier and I lose myself in the painting process.
This lot (and the wildcat in the last post) are some of these awkward models that I have struggled with, but I’ve challenged myself to try and work through a few before the end of the year.
These are really nice and nicely painted. The guy with one foot is my favourite. I honestly forgot completely about this miniature range.
I’m hard pressed to pick a favourite sculpt, but I am fond of the skulled bird on the pointing chap. I think it’s between the swordswoman and the gunner. I may change opinion once I’ve done their four companions.
