Kitbash Games Roughneck

I've been very lucky to have been given some figures to paint for Kitbash Games Upcoming Kickstarter.The kickstarter will have a number of supers themed miniatures to support their upcoming Supers Unlimited game. You can find more info about the game and a number of the characters and factions here.

The first figure I have finished is Roughneck. You can read more about his bio on this page from the Kitbash Blog here. The model is resin and comes in two pieces body and left forearm carrying the bat. Roughneck was really easy to clean up and assemble. I spray primed in grey and then
 painted him up. The Resin is top quality and I had no issue getting good coverage. The details are really nice on the figure and it was a pleasure to paint.




I went for a slightly different scheme just because its what I fancied doing.

    1. Cheers Dave. Yes me to. I can imagine using this guy as a raider leader in post apoc gaming or as a merc/perp of some kind in Judge Dredd

  3. He looks great, Simon. The eyes show up very realistically within the face mask.

    1. Cheers Suber yes it is. Someone mentioned it would make a good Road Pig Dreadnok from Gi Joe. So I think getting another and converting him is on the cards.

  7. Great work on a great miniature. From a certain angle you could be forgiven for thinking it’s Casey Jones...you should probably do some Turtles now.

  10. Looking great! He certainly wears his influences on his sleeves. And shoulders. And face...

  11. Roughneck looks great there Simon - the fiorst one finished! :) Very well done and thanks for showing him off. :)

    Funny story time, around 25 years ago I created a character as a cardboard counter piece which was very similar to this design (just ask Mr Bresnen!), but with red shoulder pads but no baseball bat. Then I was able to pick up the Comfy Chair art which inspired this final sculpt and it was one of those excellent pieces of serendipity.

    1. Thanks very much mate. Yes the first of many. Thats so cool to hear. I bet its nice to get something you imagined in miniature form.

  12. Nice looking figure Simon. I wish someone would get on with some generic supers. I'd be all over those. I have a whole universe of supers from my Champions RPG days and would love to bring them to life with multipart kits. Sometimes I'm even tempted by dollies.
