From MichaelA - 28mm Cult heroes (30points)

I am hoping that these six 28mm miniatures will be my first eligible entry in the 'Pulp Challenge' side duel.


So in a bid to garner my first points towards this keenly fought duel, I present these fearsome Cultists, after all what could be more 'Pulp' than a cowl wearing, club wielding Cultist?  These were originally from the 'The Servants of Ra' box set, a faction for 'In Her Majesty's Name' ruleset released through  Osprey Publishing.


Available from 'North Star Military Figures', I'm afraid I struggled for an original take on these and plumped for the red as shown on the original box art.  Now what to use them for?



Nice work Michael. These chaps will be useful in so many games. That's 30 points toward your Pulp challenge (and the main challenge of course).

  1. very nice Michael. I am particularly fond of the unshaven. They do look very thug like and I can see these being used for so many games, everything from Tarzan Jungle Capers to Roman riots (Not the pistol armed ones of course unless you do a time travel game!)... and just about EVERYTHING in between.

  5. Great work - solid painting. Nothing like a group of good old classic cultists of Ra...

  7. It's very difficult to be 'original' with cultists but you can't go wrong with a bunch of unshaven loons in debauched red robes. :)

  12. One does not need a purpose to own/paint Cultists sir. They are in and off themselves both a reason and a reward. :-) Lovely stuff as always Michael and your red is gorgeous. For me the only other options are black or purple anyway.

  16. Great cultists Michael! One doesn't always need an original take on a subject... as long as the results are anywhere near yours.
