Continuing on my riff of heroines from 'Mansions of Madness' I present to you Kate Winthrop, 'The Scientist'.
In the game's background, Kate witnessed one of her fellow scientists being ripped apart by a strange being from anther dimension. From that horrific experience she was determined to create a device to combat these terrible creatures - thus the 'Flux Stabilizer' was born. In game terms, this allows her to disrupt the placement and movement of monsters on the board, which can come in very, very handy.
This being said, Kate's a bit of a hot-n-cold character. In monster-heavy scenarios her Flux Stabilizer can be an absolute game winner, but if the setting is more investigative then her special ability will not be as on-point and she may struggle a bit.
A somewhat rough and quick paintjob, I found the figure for Kate to be a little soft in detail, so I tried to amp it up by layering in some high contrast on her lab coat and giving her a touch of vibrant blue as a counterpoint.

I believe Sarah has a frequent flyer program for her balloon service, but further clarification is needed. I hope to get enough flights logged to get Gold Passenger Status - that way I can hang out in the posh flight lounge, drink umbrella drinks while getting foot massages. Until then Kate will give me 5 points.
Next destination for me: Piper's Peak!
Nothing beats a smart woman on a Friday afternoon and what a delightful figure to see you on your way to my island location.

Good looking scientist!

Very nice work
ReplyDeleteInter-dimension research is always tricky...
ReplyDeleteWell done dude!
She looks very nice Curt! The card backgrounds are a nice touch.

Despite the shortcomings of the sculpt you've once again done an excellent job on a simple board gaming piece.
ReplyDeletedo love a woman in a lab coat.
ReplyDeleteCareful that kind of talk will get you in trouble at your university.
DeleteNice work on the figure Curt. You’re getting good mileage from these figures in terms of balloon ride.
ReplyDeleteLady Sarah’s Balloon Service Frequent Flyer program is after three flights, you get an additional 10points.
ReplyDeleteAs for entrance into the Gold Status Lounge and access to the fancy cocktails, massages and other goodies ...... Lady Sarah and Senior Flight Attendant Tamsin are the founding members and we have yet to determine whether boyz are allowed.
We’ll have a meeting, hold a quorum, debate the merits of mojitos vs Pimms Cup and let you know ......
The flight logs have been checked, tabulated and cross referenced.
ReplyDeleteCurt has indeed had 3 Balloon flights:
First Flight 🎈Reidy’s Reef to Bromley’s Butte
Second Flight🎈🎈 Bromely’s Butte to O’Grady’s Gulch
Third Flight🎈🎈🎈 O’Grady’s Gulch to Pipers Peak
Well done! And please could a minion assign Curt an extra 10 points for achieving Frequent Flyer Status?
Will do, Lady S! :)
DeleteFor a "rough and quick paintjob," the mini looks great.
ReplyDeleteNice work on the scientist.
ReplyDeletePretty sure that violates lab safety attire rules. But very nicely done.
ReplyDeleteI like the blue shoes and skirt!
