From EdwardG - The Golem’s Haunt Entry (40points)

 Hi all,

A slightly delayed upload of my next Chambers of Challenge entry. I am still working away at my two main projects, but a mix of work and DiY home improvements have taken up a lot more of my time recently. It is a very familiar story, known to all. 

But I have managed to get these chaps completed and based. 

I must admit, as a normally purely historical painter, the Golem's Haunt chamber really had me panicked on what I could do. Add to this, the fact that I have zero female minis to use as payment for witch rides and I was worried I was stuck only two chambers in. At one point, I was thinking of mashing together some spare plastics in some kind of Frankenstein's monster, but this really was not appealing. But, then I realised that we have the boardgame Scythe sat on the side, and I have promised to paint the miniatures within the boardgame for the past 5yrs (basically since it was released) and that these miniature would make a perfect entry! As the boardgame is set in an alternate 1920s, and involves warfare, I think the definition of wargame can stretch to cover it. 

So, my entry, is 5 Mechs (think 1920s scrap yard AT-AT walkers). These are very much bolted together and in the artwork, certainly look like they are as dangerous to the crew as the enemy. When I asked the wife (Scythe is her favourite of our boardgames) if she had an opinion on colour scheme, she pulled a picture of a transformer from the web and said it should form part of my inspiration. So I tried to stick as close as I could to the transformer aesthetic, with lots of bright sliver and blocks of colour. 

The Mechs are roughly equivalent size to a 28mm foot figure, so I have scored them as such. Which gives the score for the entry at:

4x Mechs @ 5points each = 20points

Chamber bonus = 20points

Total = 40points

The hope is to be posting some more minis, with less of a delay than this one!

Hope you are all staying healthy!

Best,
Ed
