Its been a busy but enjoyable break from work. Back to the grindstone tomorrow and back to school runs etc etc! Been to loads of places this week with the family visited the Think Tank science museum in the centre of Birmingham and a great time was had by all of us. Another day out was to wonderful Stourport by the river a lovely walk, played with the kids on there excellent park then a fish and chip supper by the river!
Anyway have managed to get all of The State Gang completed though I've only managed to take photo's of SIWOC the Scout from Jesters IAO squad. THe bloody camera has died so that is now on charging before I can take pics of the other two and get some of the completed gang.
This has been one of my favourites from concept to the sculpt from the get go I really love this figure.
Siwoc
Siwoc picked up his name from an off-hand utterance which became a catchphrase in his first squad (“Situation is…world of chaos!”) Assigned to Jester due to his hatred of the Gang lifestyle and way of life, Siwoc wishes to bring
order to the chaos around him. Precise, quick witted and showing an amazing alertness to tactical opportunities, Siwoc makes for the perfect eyes and ears in the squad.
I only have Crimson and the proper release miniature of Skylar to paint and then I will have painted the whole set of currently available Across The Dead Earth miniatures! Woot Woot. I have plenty of figures to convert though and I've seen some top secret concepts and other pics of some of the upcoming gangs and I can say I'm really quite excited about what is going to be coming out so stay tuned for more info soon.
Great painting Sir!
ReplyDeleteVery nice! There is a lot of great PA stuff that's tempting me into 28mm.
ReplyDeleteYes very much so. I love the style of this range from Across the Dead Earth. But I also really like the Wreck Age range as well.
DeleteThis is hands down my favorite miniature from ATDE so far. Great paintjob, I love the earthy tones instead of blacks.
ReplyDeleteThanks mate. I kind of deliberately didn't want them to just look like special forces troopers in black etc.
DeleteTerrific work. The delicate shading on the clothes adds a lot to the figure. SIWOC is a great acronym, mind if I steal it?
ReplyDeleteThanks and help yourself!
DeleteOh hello ;-)
DeleteHey, I really enjoyed this one. I think the colour combination makes it look just perfect.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much I really enjoyed painting this guy up. I intend on getting another and giving him some melee weapons.
DeleteGreat figure and great paint job, Simon. I'm sure Lord Siwoc himself would approve!
ReplyDeleteThanks very much I hope. The suggestion of a pink shell suit with a bunny on the back was not approved of!
DeleteNice mini, lovely paint work. Where's Johnny!
ReplyDeleteThanks I have no idea but probably drinking mead with a whiskey chaser!
DeleteAnother well painted character. Love the mask - oddly having an engaging appearance to it;)!
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Dean.
DeleteStop it stop it stop it! They all look so good I am in danger of getting side-tracked so stop it you!
ReplyDeleteHa ha thanks and No! :P
Deleteanother cracking paint job and on a great figure too.
ReplyDeleteCheers Dan!
DeleteVery nicely painted. By the way, is that a new blog banner ... the artwork is absolutely fantastic!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much. Its going to be a regular change to the blog so keep your eyes peeled for new ones :)
DeleteHe's all aces no fanying about.
ReplyDeleteThanks Robert yes indeed none what so ever :P
DeleteNice painting, as ever. What's with the mask, though? Is it to intimidate people he meets, to preserve his secret identity or to hide some terrible deformity :-) ?
ReplyDeleteIts obviously to protect his face from people trying to gouge out his eyes with rottenwooden spoons
DeleteVery nice, Simon. The hockey mask suits him.
ReplyDeleteThank you mate!
DeleteGreat work again mate!
ReplyDeleteThank you kindly good sir :)
DeleteEek! Creepy mask!
ReplyDeleteIts just great love it.
DeleteVery nice. and Johnny rocks! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks he does indeed!
DeleteI feel like I already know this guy - great paintjob as always.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Yes very familiar!
DeleteGreat stuff as always; I really like all your takes on AtDE! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks mate. I shall look forward to yours and Robs :D
DeleteI could have sworn I had written on this!!
ReplyDeleteGood work mate! And yes...I made a VETO on the pink bunny suit!
Looking forward to getting my mini me!!
Thanks and you probably commented on FB :D
