I really like these grimdark statues. They are imposing, but after more than a cursory glance you can see they are battle-damaged facades held up by rusting arcane machinery. It's almost like an analogy!

These were a white undercoat, sloshed with Contrast Apothecary White and then the marbling sketched on with Contrast Basilicanum Grey. Contrast Skeleton Horde to the recesses stops them being monochrome. The rust is Army Painter Rough Iron, a crude drybrush of bright orange, and a liberal application of Woodland Scenics Burnt Umber.
Are they scenery (7" x 4" x 2" = 5 points) or 2x 150mm figures? Let's get a minion to decide!
More importantly, they are skulltastic, each sporting nine skullz and propelling my skull tally to 106.

And that is it for my entries this Challenge!
Those look fab, Barks! :)

ReplyDeleteThanks, Natasha!
DeleteYeah, I need a set of these... Love the marbling effect. Well done Mr. Barks!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Curt! Grimdark is as much about the scenery as the figures.
