Aleksandr Kurganov, Chief Commander of the KST. This is a massive, and heavy, model. I chose the metal version for this one and it plunks down on the tabletop with authoriTAY!
Shown with a Nurgle Terminator and Assault Marine for comparison. I like that he is shorter than the Space Marines but still imposing.
I split the difference on positioning on the base. The left foot overhangs the base a bit but shifting him too much farther over and the cloak would have become a weapon in it's own right!
He's on a 40mm beveled base like the Terminator and is pretty stable on that. I went with a Grey and Red scheme to fit in with some incoming Inquisition troops that I'll be working into the campaign fluff.
This cape has a lot of room for silliness. I did some stark shading but decided against freehand for the moment... I'm kind of torn between inventing a House Kurgan Sigil and waiting to see what Raging Heroes comes up with in that regard.
Reaper Bones I Kickstarter. I really just signed up for everything with the idea that I'd be using it to fill out a long neglected FRPG collection as my interest in Tabletop Roleplaying was perking up.
In one random bag that I pulled out of the massive Kickstarter box was this... Gnome... pleasure cultist? ... Inquisitor?
In spite of being perhaps the most disturbing Gnome miniature I've ever seen it was a lot of fun to paint and gave me a few ideas for story lines... I was a bit inspired by the Penny Dreadful character with the outrageous and, I assure you , completely natural..... hair!
Yeah... chaps! pimpled, warty, gnome buttocks... oh my!
It did get a Slaanesh-esque sigil on the hood but otherwise but otherwise a plain utilitarian purple color. I thought about designs and stripes but thought they might obfuscate how outrageous the miniature really was.
The Gnome spending some quality time with Warlord Krell...
Krell is still missing his back banner and is on a round lipped base instead of his original square one. I think both of these minis are being added to the pile of stuff for Carnevale.
Have fun and beware of gnomes in chaps!
Aleksandr looks fantastic. Thanks for the scale shot, i was figuring he was much larger!
ReplyDeleteThat gnome terrifies me. Krell is looking great.
Thanks Greg! Scale shots FTW! I actually thought he was bigger too... and he is compared to old school termies and marines... these 40mm guys are just hulking brutes! The gnome should terrify everyone! ... maybe especially Krell... I see how he is looking at him!
