Aeon Trespass: Odyssey (ATO) by Lawnor

I’m not 100% sure where this guy goes.  I’m told he’s a cycle 2 model, but there’s some suggestion that he can turn up in any of the first three cycles.  He also comes with a battle and map scale mini.  He’s a nice crisp clean sculpt and I knew exactly what I wanted to do with him.  I took him from primed to varnished in about 24 hours and I don’t feel like I rushed.

Ball Stone
This is my basing scheme from KDM
Base: Mission Models MMW006 Transparent Dust (I’d usually use P3 Trollblood Highlight, but I’m running low and this was the closest colour I already own)
Heavy Drybrush: GW Karak Stone
Medium Drybrush: GW Screaming Skull
Light Drybrush: P3 Menoth White Highlight

Gold Legs
Base: P3 Blighted Gold
Wash: p3 Cryx Bane base mixed with P3 Brown Ink
Targeted Wash: P3 Umbral Umber mixed with P3 Coal Black
Drybrush: P3 Brass Balls
Post varnish Highlight: P3 Brass Balls mixed with P3 Radiant Platinum

Black Ooze
Base: Revell Aqua Colour 36106 Tar Black
Highlight: Tar Black with a little Revell Aqua Colour 36174 Gunship Grey
Highlight: Above mix with a little Revell Aqua Colour 36176 Light Grey
Highlight: above with more Light Grey
Glaze with GW Nuln Oil to smooth the transition out
I didn’t push the highlights far enough so the two glazed needed to blur the transitions took the highlights down a little too far.
Gloss varnish when all is finished

This model makes me think one thing, and one thing only:  “Feed him to the Sharkticons!”

I’ve got the rest of the Cycle 2 models on my painting table ready to go and it’s made it apparent that these models don’t have a fixed scale.  Look at this pic below of two humans.  One is twice the size of the other.  I suppose he could be a giant or something.  I’ve not read anything yet.  I know it doesn’t affect the gameplay, but a lack of consistent scale bothers me.

Update 10/2/23:

I asked on the discord and here’s the responses I’ve gotten about the big little human.  Seems he is a character and might well be larger on purpose:
