Second model from the Bird and Mercenaries set is Cuchillo he seem is armed with a knife and is on a par rep wise with McGregor the machete armed merc from the Bane starter pack. Where this knife guy truly differs is in his traits. Cuchillo has Stealth so models have to be within 20cm to see him and he also has tireless which means he can perform a run by only using a special counter instead of a special and a movement. Making him very fast. Give him the backpack equipment for carrying loot for free and he is the perfect loot grabber for the Bane crew.
To represent his stealth I kept his colours to blacks and greys.

Good work as usual mate. I like the white on his face mask - is that canon or a personal addition?
ReplyDeleteCheers Dai. It was on the studio paintjob. Its very similar to Bane's mask. Originally I was going to leave it off but then decided to add it in at the end as I felt another colour needed adding in.
DeleteI like the simplicity of this one, both in sculpt and the way you've painted him. Nice one.
ReplyDeleteCheers Kieron I must admit he was very easy to paint. I am finding School boy irritating however his vest is harder to get to.
DeleteHe looks like a modern day ninja.
ReplyDeleteIt's a very cool model.
Thanks yes indeed he does. One of my faves out the set.
DeleteExcellent work on the painting mate, and he certainly did his job when you used him. :)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely an upgrade on McGregor IMHO as he gains better/clearer purpose. :)
Thanks Leon. Yeah indeed I'd use McGregor to go after other henchmen now I think.
DeleteSounds like a very useful fella. Strange pose on the sculpt though
ReplyDeleteI don't think its strange looks like he has sneaked upto someone and is about to deliver a nasty blow from behind.
DeleteFantastic work like always!
ReplyDeleteThanks Michal!
DeleteI like the dynamic pose. Looks like a good addition to any crew.
ReplyDeleteCheers Clint I love all the mini's in this set they are really nicely posed.
DeleteSweet. You kept him interesting despite the restricted palette. Pretty nice!
ReplyDeleteThanks Suber. I think he has like a camouflage scheme on the studio job but I decided against it and went with trying to keep it simple.
DeleteIt's tough painting blacks. You did a good job despite that fact.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much I've got some varying shades of grey and use washes to tone down the highlights a bit. Experimenting mostly but it seems to work ok :)
DeleteLooking good mate.
ReplyDeleteCheers dude!
DeleteHe sounds like a right nasty piece of work to me; a 2-bit knifeman and thief :-) .
ReplyDeleteIndeed aren't they all! Bloody Criminals!
