After escaping the Hall of Traps, our brave adventurer has to pass through the Pit of the Pendulum as the next step on their path to the Altar of the Snowlord.
The Pit's theme is something torturous or terrifying; something that will slice off your head if you aren't paying attention. I didn't have anything with attached pendulums but I did, again thanks to Crooked Dice kickstarters, have something terrifying. Kronos and its Spartoi warriors...
Kronos is Argo’s earliest experiment with artificial intelligence and looks like a giant eye with tentacles. Using his own brain patterns as a template, the prototype became dangerously self-aware forcing Argo to mothball Kronos deep beneath the foundries in his Olympus Base. It lay dormant for many years, until reawakening to lead the Argonauts after their creator's apparent death. Kronos shares Argo's madness and his all-consuming desire to control. However, Kronos views humanity as an evolutionary mistake that must be expunged - and has no qualms about acting that out. He resurrected one of Argo's earliest experiments in self replicating robots that were inspired by the mythology of the hydra... destroy one, two rise to replace them
But wait, there's more! Those 7TV figs are a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteGreat looking techno Greek myth figures, super finish!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Lovely work, the white armour is very impressive.
ReplyDeleteGW's white contrast paint, followed by a white drybrush... simples!
DeleteThey look great love the tentacled eyeball thingy!
ReplyDeleteVery cool Paul. I like how you used gold for their skulls.
ReplyDeleteThat is bone :D
DeleteHeh, so it is! Serves me right for not expanding the pictures.
DeleteNot gold. Blue.
DeleteNice. The blue shields work very well with the white bodies. Were it not for the "nature" of the subjects (or should that be objects?) I could even call this a tasteful submission.
ReplyDeleteIs that four skulls I count?
ReplyDeleteNice set of models
ReplyDeleteNice work. The white looks great!
ReplyDeleteThese are lovely, Paul! I like the contrast of the white armor with the bone skulls. The creepy looking cyclopean bot is really cool too with how you did it's optics...er optic
ReplyDeleteThe answer to the optics is 'very badly'. The photo is, for once, doing me a favour here. it's a red base, with some very thinned orange highlights as if it were a jewel.
DeleteAt this rate I see some points records being broken
ReplyDeleteEnough already, some of us are trying to paint. Nice work though
ReplyDeleteThat is a great inspiration for the Pit and Pendulum theme. It gives me ideas!
ReplyDeleteWell done!
