Well was a bit unsure of what to watch one of the nights this week so I stuck on Batman Mask of the Phantasm for a change and finished off all of my Penguin Crew.
I need to find the time to read up on this game as I am going over to Pulp Citizen's for my debut game of the Batman game in a couple of weeks time.
The Penguin himself
Penguin Emperor
Penguin Emperor
Titan Blue Penguin
Titan Blue Penguin
Blue Penguin Shield
Royal Penguin
The Whole Crew so far
I need to make some objective tokens so I've also started on those though they require painting still I'm sure they won't take long.
The the markers are loot (Sack of cash), Ammo (the rifle and ammo pack) and Titan Cannister.
Doh just realised the ammo pack on the assault rifle has moved. I was intending on painting the tyre underneath first then gluing the weapon and ammo packs down on top lol.
Went to watch Mad Max: Fury Road on Friday night it was awesome It took until Saturday afternoon for my brain to finish reeling from what we'd watched. It requires a second watching I think as I'm sure there are bits I missed. Its visually stunning and I think its a great addition to the Max Legacy. The characters and factions are ace I'm sure there will be some fab models being converted from it.
Also if you love 80's movie I watched this yesterday afternoon its awesome and full of cheese but I loved it. I don't normally do Parodies but this amused me greatly its only 30 minutes long but I thought it was brill. Its NSFW btw due to the swearing.

Well done mate - the crew looks great together, and I am looking forward to that game. :)
ReplyDeleteExcellent work sir. :)
Cheers Dude me to!
DeleteGreat looking figures, the Pinguin is a piece of art, love him!
ReplyDeleteThanks very much. Its is a nice rendition of the game version.I'd of loved a Devito version of him.
DeleteTerrific stuff Simon. Stunning paintjobs on them all. What a great looking Penguin and his motley crew.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much mate.
DeleteGreat gang.
ReplyDeleteCheers Dude.
DeleteAbsolutely cracking work Simon. Individually excellent and the blue makes them a very cohesive looking gang.
ReplyDeleteThanks Bob. I really wasn't sure what to go with but blue is my favourite colour and it looks cold so thats my excuse :D
DeleteThe Penguin crew look fantastic. There are some really good articles about playing BMG on the Crits Kill People blog, including some specific ones about the Penguin gang.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Kieron. I'll look it up :)
DeleteReally splendid looks there.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much dude :)
DeleteThat is Lovely work on the penquin and the rest of the minis
ReplyDeleteCheers very much mate.
DeleteNicely painted gang, Simon. I totally agree with your comments on Mad Max: Fury Road. What a great film!
ReplyDeleteThanks Bryan. Yes it was brill I want to watch it again!
DeleteNice work. The crew looks awesome. Agree on Mad Max. I watched it last weekend. Very cool! An interesting fact I was unaware of is that guy who plays the bad guy in this one was also the bad guy in the very first Mad Max movie. Will we see some Car Wars posts on your blog soon? :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks Will. Car wars isn't my thing though I am tempted to do a Warboys gang for across the dead earth its an idea thats bubbling away as I summarise modelling options.
DeleteThere are some really cool snippets in that movie if you know where to look.
This looks like a serious gang! Not quite the Vaudeville escapees who are often portrayed as the Penguin's crew :-) .
ReplyDeleteYes indeed. Very much so the computer game are the batman miniature games figures based on.
DeleteYou really managed to capture the character of the Penguin ganf with your paintjob!
ReplyDeleteWell done!
Thanks very much mate. They will be getting there debut game in 2 weeks time :)
DeleteYou painted these up in no time, and all very impressively done. That rogue with the shield reminds me of the riots in Ukraine a year or so ago.
ReplyDeleteYou did a fantastic job with these Simon. Just gorgeous, the way you've done the highlighting.
ReplyDeleteI've got a rather large amount of post apocalyptic figures. I'd like to give some of them away as I've duplicates. They would work as survivors as well. And I think they'd be perfect for your style of painting.
If you're interested in having some, please email me at

Thanks very much Anne they have such nice detail. I'd love to take you up on your offer Thank you :)
DeleteThe blue colour scheme works ... it just does ... great work Simon!
ReplyDeleteThanks very much. I thought so to.
DeleteBrilliant Simon, I love the way that you managed to tie them together with the blue - cracking job Sir.
ReplyDeleteCheers Michael. I kind of felt like I fubared the colour choice mainly when it came to painting the blue emperors body armour and helmet. But I think the darker blue works ok still.
DeleteGreat stuff. I envy all you folks out there who paint faster than I do! I'd much rather play a game with painted figures.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much mate. Looking forward to seeing your own Bane crew receive some brush love.
DeleteCor! They're great.
ReplyDeleteCheers buddy :)
DeleteOutstanding, Simon. Great paint on some rather cool minis.
ReplyDeleteSuperheroes is another genre that has passed me by so I cannot appreciate these the way many others will. That said I can and do appreciate the painting and work involved. They really do look good villains! Dastardly!
ReplyDeleteThey look great, he is the best batman bad guy. LOL I watched Kung Fury the other night, funny stuff
ReplyDeleteyou've used such brilliant colours on them! Gorgeous combinations of blues! And their skin looks almost real! And I wanna have their wardrobe to wear :)
ReplyDeleteSimon, your Penguin crew is amazing. I love the skin on the big fellow, it's very convincing. I think I've seen him at my gym a few times. Very fine work.
ReplyDeleteI really should see Fury Road, I hear nothing but good things about it.
Cheers,
Michael
