Statuesque Miniatures Gauge and Pulp girl


Done a bit of miniature preparation this week just gone. Cleaning up some resin and metal figures from Kitbash games Supers range. I need some milliput to base them before progressing further but my LGS is out at the minute so I've turned my attention to my box of shame whilst I source some putty from elsewhere.



So needing some characters to lead and pad out my sky pirates I started painting up Gauge and Pulp Girl from Statuesque miniatures. Gauge got finished first as I ended up having to sort out an eye problem with Pulp Girl. I went for a similar scheme to the pirates but went with an earthy green for her trousers to make more like a mechanic. Casting wise I plan to user has a Crackpot inventor, Scientist or Technician depending on Ratings I have spare.





For some reason I really struggled with Pulp Girls left eye. In the end I had to add a line of flesh wash around the eye. I tried to do a glow effect from the gauntlet type gadget in her right hand. Its washed out a bit in the photos here. Casting wise she will be either an Angel of Justice or perhaps a Mad Scientist If I got the villainous route.





Pulp Girl, Gauge and my Sky Pirates I finished last year and forming the core part of my cast. I'll probably be taking these to 7TV Day III in July as its a Pulp themed event. Though they will be getting an excursion this Thursday as I go over to meet a friend at Board in Brum to play some 7TV. I'll try and take some pics I think I am facing a Shiva cast led by the Destroyer! 


All my Statuesque Ladies so far. L-R Gauge, Pulp Girl, Minerva, Golgo Satana then the Sky pirates. I have a number of the male models to do at some point. Phantom Ace, Mak O'Reilly, Captain Wolf and Dr Fang.

The weekend I managed to try out two games of Here's Negan. The first (Solo but with all 5 Saviour's) went quite well with everyone and Negan reaching the exit of Scenario 1. Negan is a git lol I blocked his path twice and he reduced everyone reputation significantly as a number of them were tied so they all lost there hard earned rep. All surviving quite well until Laura got bitten on the last tile but soldiered on.

The Second game involved my two girls sharing there 5 Saviours between us all. Negan was a real git in this one and we only just about made it to the last room before the threat level peeked and ended the game. This was much tougher with a random fire in one of the rooms rapidly increasing the threat level and lots of pants rolls trying to take down walkers. This saw several of the Saviours incapacitated a few times. I have some questions which I couldn't find the answer to but plan to ask in the facebook group for responses.

Once I'm more confident with the rules I'll get the figures painted up and do some game reports .

  5. It’s hard for me to relate to this post since I don’t paint eyes on miniatures....😀

    The whole bunch looks good and has a certain flare. I hope your girls are old enough for walking dead games! 😀

    1. Thanks very much Stew. They have been playing zombie games since they were 6 and 7. They are now 9 and nearly 11 :D

      Personal choice for sure regarding eyes. I like the challenge and look it gives.
