Bot War - the war wages on (clearing the backlog)
Demo day - Entoyment (July 2022)
In July I ran a demo day of Bot War at Entoyment in Poole as part of their store anniversary.
Painting wise I was able to complete Darkstone and his 3 Golem Lieutenants Magmoar Crystalor and Nucleor. These are the original metal releases so are quite hefty in weight, Darkstone needed some pinning and is quite fragile given the weight of the claws. I do have plastic versions of these minis as well now, and have plenty to be able to field 3 Golem platoons that make up the remainder of the faction options.
For Darkstone I went with a retro inspired paint scheme based upon the Black Zarak character from the Japanese Transformers cartoon series. The black and gold. Work really well together and give off an evil regal-Ness. Also the colours suit the sculpt which in my opinion gives more than a subtle nod to the same inspiration.
For the Golems I followed the original artwork, I want them to be obvious who they are on the battlefield as the sculpts are very similar.
