Massive Darkness Kickstarter set
Old Two Eyes
Right, two massive beasties this week – meet the Cyclopes!
Cliff the Cliffbreaker has a massive throwing rock, and it makes him a bit back heavy. Can’t have your whacking great monster tipping over (despite an urge to homebrew rules that mean anything he lands on midgame gets killed), so I counterbalanced the base with a stone, an old bit of Necromunda lead and some 2p bits glued underneath. Plenty of sand and grit on the base too, so he’s a lot more stable now.
Sheila the Shieldmaiden has yellow-brown skin instead, custom mixed from XV88 and Zandri Desert yellow from Citadel, and a turquoise shield to contrast. That’s another custom colour, fifty-fifty Ahriman Blue and Kabalite Green. I’ve got a bit of a hybrid mix of paints in my box these days, although the majority of it is Citadel. There’s also some Secret Weapon wash on there somewhere, and some Army Painter skin tones in the leather. Barbarian Flesh, if I remember right.
Sorry the pics are pretty blurry. I’m useless with a camera, and have no idea how to fiddle with the depth of field settings. Models this size almost always end up half out of focus, it’s kind of frustrating! But you get the general idea, at least.
There’s no real rush to get the last eight done, I’ve given myself until the end of the year. But I’ve also got Deep Madness about to arrive any day now, and something in me wants this batch out of the way before that hundredweight of plastic clogs up the intray! So onwards and upwards…
