When the old wizard died, did his powers flow into the ruins of the mansion- or was a dark presence there all along?
Last week I unexpectedly acquired a large collection of Descent 2nd Edition, which simultaneously derailed some of my Challenge strategy as well as throwing a few lifelines. This figure is Skarn, a perfect fit for the Golem's Haunt. I've also started to dabble in Citadel Contrast- about 90% of this figure is plain Contrast.
I don't really feel like I've hit the ground running this Challenge- but I can feel the juices begin to flow again and have a few posts lining up.
3" tall construct: 12 points?
Golem's Haunt: 20 points
Wow! That is a great way to get derailed! The contrast paints have worked really well on this model.
I'm going to score it as 12 for the construct and a point each for the birds, so that's 15 points plus the 20 chamber bonus points.

Wow! What a cool figure Barks - well done! I'm playing around with Contrast paints as well. I find they take a little preparation in the base layer, but the effects can be pretty interesting.
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely on a learning curve, but they've earned a place in my toolkit.
DeleteGreat sculpt and excellent paintwork. I have one or two of the Contrast paints but still struggling to work out how best to use them
ReplyDeleteThey have a role, but not in isolation.
DeleteWell, that's definitely a Contrast construct! Brilliant use of those paints, which I think are tough to handle well. Great for quick approx work, but much harder to get convincing effects. Good job, Barks.
ReplyDeleteThis is an unusual figure which you can't really get wrong- perfect for a Contrast experiment!
DeleteAwesome construct and lovely finish!
ReplyDeleteBest Iain
Thanks, Iain!
DeleteInteresting model and nice painting! Cheers Jez
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jez!
DeleteThat’s awesome Barks, love the teapot in the arm. No skulls? Are you feeling ok?
ReplyDeleteI haven't even scored a point on the GW duel...
DeleteThat's certainly different. Nice work.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Stuart!
Deletethat is a brilliant sculpt and fantastic painting
ReplyDeleteIt was perfect for this location.
DeleteWhat an alarming and cool looking figure - great work Barks.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Greg!
DeleteVery cool Barks - quite a unique figure!
ReplyDeleteI think you'll like the contrasts - not the silver bullet some think, but very good in specific applications
Yes, I'm finding that out.
DeleteGreat figure love the boxes on the bottom of the leg 🦵
ReplyDeleteRegards KenR
I think they’re books!
DeleteI like the violin torso and teapot arm! Very cool figure🧙♀️
ReplyDeleteThere’s a little teacup in there as well but it doesn’t show up easily on these pictures!
DeleteNice wotk Barks! Seems like the contrast paints are just the thing for such highly textured items. May well have to give it a try one day
ReplyDeleteI was waiting for Vallejo or Army Painter to release a comparable range, but couldn’t hold on.
