The remaining eight Kickstarter Exclusive hunters are ready to pack. I'm racing to wrap up the open projects on my desk before the big move... lots more to do!
First up are Akecheta and Samuel. I think of these as 'ranged heavies'. They are done mostly in earth tones and raw metals.
The next set I think of as 'finesse melee' types. They like to get stuck in but are not relying on overpowering their enemies to win.These are more colorful than most of the hunters.
Emma looks straight out of Vampire Hunter High with the rising sun tee and pink sneakers.Daniel Stoica was the first Kickstarter Exclusive Hunter and its unclear whether or not the rest will be seen at retail. I hope so because there are a lot of cool archetypes that will otherwise be few and far between. Daniel is the Samurai-esque Hunter that is done in emerald and saffron.
Painting her reminded me of a buccaneer themed Ogre Kingdoms army I painted that featured various colorful, usually striped pants/pantaloons.
The last set of hunters is Jean-Louis, Bram, and Billy-Bob.
Jean-Louis looks like he caught the Time-ship during the Napoleonic era although closer inspection revealed that some vampire sourced bits have augmented his uniform.
Bram is a classic tough guy hunter in an armored duster while Billy-Bob is a bruiser with electrically augmented boxing spikes.
Finally I'm taking a moment to remember a friend who passed away yesterday.
Rich was a great friend and a genuinely fun guy to be around. He very much inspired me to keep the ogre pants theme going for an entire Ogre Kingdoms army some years ago. His jovial good nature, quick wit, and constant encouragement made that project very special indeed. We ever-after greeted and made our farewells with shouted OGRE PANTS! Farewell Rich, I'll see you on the other side.
RIP OGRE PANTS!
