Thanks for your patience while I was away everyone, I really needed those few days out of the cockpit to refresh for the run-in to the conclusion of the Challenge.
Well, we are finally here. The last theme round of our series, and also the overarching theme of this year's Challenge: the Antihero, is now up in the Bonus Theme Gallery.
I think that this round may be one of our best to-date, with a wide assortment of excellent illustrations and personal interpretations of the theme. From Elric of Melnibone to Three (!) Richard IIIs; from Leon the Hitman to Tyrion the Dwarf, we have a rich vein of personalities and characters to delight you. Enjoy the show and remember to vote for all your favourite entires (Yes, you can vote for more than one!).
For myself I am saving my last antihero submission as the rearguard of the Challenge, but in it's stead I present to you this wonderful series of figures gifted to me from a very talented friend of mine, BrianH. Here is one of the iconic antiheroes of history - a man who's last battle, fought nearly 200 years ago near a small Belgian village, is now synonymous to having gained your comeuppance.
'You, sire, have met your Waterloo...'
It is funny... i expected to see a lot of Batmans here, but not three Richard the III... must be pretty congested on that parking lot! ;-)
ReplyDeleteTypical! You wait 528 years for a Richard III then three turn up at once!
ReplyDeleteRichard IX?
DeleteGiven Richard III is bursting through the pavement I am a little surprised no one did him for the comedy round.
ReplyDeleteMe too!
DeleteBrilliant minis, very expressive and finely detailed. Roustam Raza´s presence is a very nice touch :) Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteMy favourite Napoleon figure. Whoever did Elric of Melniboné had a brilliant idea, way more original than Richard III ;-) ;-)
ReplyDeleteI was originally planning to do Elric as my Curtgeld, but Hasslefree were out of stock of the figure I wanted when I placed the order. I'm quite glad now, as my Curtgeld won't be a double :)
DeleteHa! I am of course not surprised, great minds and all that ;-)
DeleteBut I'm glad you're doing something else, there can only be one...Elric
Excellent painting Curt!
ReplyDeleteWonderful command group, Curt. This is going to be a really interesting theme.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous work Curt!
