BONES 4! The Adventure of Mr Bones

The BONES have arrived.  It's an insane amount of stuff. The material has changed from earlier Bones in that it is now visible, and possibly slightly harder.  It seems that there is a lot of variation in the quality of the process, some of the little guys are good, some even great, but some is poo. A lot of the Bones specific stuff seems alright. It does smooth bug well (see pig and cart).

Another Cultist

If your idea of preparing for war in the 41st millennium is a rain jacket and a one eyed gas mask, then you're just what the armies of chaos are looking for.

Chaos all the way

At least he's got one eye protected...

I think people try too hard to make Chaos guys look orderly, all matching uniforms and outfits. They're chaos for crying out loud! All order shall be abolished!

Chaos Cultists WIP

Here at HMP I'm not trying to sell anything, so that means that I can share everything, the good and the bad. Like the title says this blog is "Miniature Painting for Mortals", here is a prime example ot the type of work that mere mortals can achieve. I had to take a break from the swampy marsh, so I thought I'd have a go at one of my cultists (link). Previously I had mentioned how I was hoping to go for a "sand people" look. At the same time, I thought the skin should look a little sickly. Here's what happened.

I like the gun

At the higher zoom, thing's look a bit dodgy

Work required, the skin is a bit too purple, and I went a little overboard on the copper patina on the fan.

Slightly out of focus... probably helps

So there you have it. Some parts are coming along, others need more work. Overall I think it's pretty cool, but maybe not exactly what I had envisioned. I like the heavy use of copper, as I think that cultists are supposed to be pretty rough around the edges.
