These two brutish-looking
40mm tall plastic “Wizkids” models of a Mindless One are both miniature number 05
from the Marvel “Heroclix” Giant Size X-Men range. Summoned via magic to do the
bidding of others, for they have no will of their own, these extra-dimensional
beings have a rocky hide and no face except a single glowing eye. “Most often
seen in the employ of Dormammu” the savage humanoids were created by Stan Lee
and Steve Ditko, and made their first comic book appearance within the pages of
Issue One Hundred and Twenty Seven of “Strange Tales” in December 1964.
Unsurprisingly, despite their girth, these figures required
incredibly simple paint-jobs. But did give me the opportunity to try out my “Vallejo”
USA Olive Drab as an undercoat. Once dry the models were heavily washed with “Citadel”
Nuln Oil and had their cyclopean eye ‘picked out’ using a combination of “Vallejo”
Heavy Red and the “Citadel” glaze, Bloodletter.
They do look imposing if mindless Simon. I believe that the Heroclix figures are kinds 28mm and these monstrosities look about the size of a cavalry figure so I am counting them as 10 point each. The mono colour can be problematic but the muscle details show well on your work. And the "eyes" have a suitable sinister red glow.
Barring any last minute posts that concludes our Monday programming so it's over to Tamsin for the Tuesday report. Clint and PaulS seems to have been busy boys, but Ray looks to be AWOL.
