Two posts this week! I’ve been struggling to find a super hero model to paint up, as I’m not the biggest super hero fan, be it in comics, movies, or TV. Knowing Superhero movies come out pretty frequently, I figured I would check what movies are coming out soon, assuming I could at least find a super heros alter ego to put on the table. Let me tell you, I was happy with what I found! Ordinarily, super heros seem to be pretty normal if not above average folks who find themselves exposed to something, bitten by a special animal, or able to take some sort of medicine that makes them positively extraordinary! Lo and behold, I discovered the harrowing tale of a wonderful being thrust into extraordinary circumstances with the discovery of a magical serum!
COCAINE BEAR!
Additionally, I completed some fun Figures from Battle Valor, for an unknown ‘Wars of Religion’ game. Bless anyone who expected this to be some sort of serious game regarding history, we’re going with religious figures packing heat!
One last photo for a group picture, showing how big our forest-dwelling Scarface is!
As for points, I’ve counted nine 28mm figures, and the ‘Superhero’ room to 65 total, which also leaves me ready to take on the director’s chair, with every other studio completed! I’m excited to see what’s coming my way!
From TeemuL: Well, Andrew... I think I know what you are trying here. The regular bear gets something and transforms into super-bear. I believe this rampaging bear is more like a super-anti-hero or suoer-arch-enemy (I'm sure there will be sequels), at least from human point of view. If Hulk counts as a superhero, then I'll count Cocaine Bear as one, too. No matter what pretty Spanish Inquisition says! Btw, all these might be useful in Silver Bayonette?
Great bear and we’ll armed clergy. Not sure who the super hero or super villain is.
ReplyDeleteI Iove the Cocaine Bear.... and for the record, more so the bear than the cocaine! LOL
ReplyDeleteLove the cocaine bear and great work on the armed religious types! :)
ReplyDeleteGreat bear! I wasn’t expecting the Spanish Inquisition though…
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff, awesome bear

ReplyDeleteCheers JezT
Love the cocaine bear - a great take on the superhero theme. :)
ReplyDeleteGrand work, Andrew! I like the cocaine bear very much( I will be looking for that mini myself!) The armed clergy are delightful sculpts and well painted too. As an FYI the cocaine bear regrettably died after injesting a large amount of smuggled cocaine and which was dropped by an amateur drug runner who himself died from from falling himself. The bear was determined to be an apex predator till his heart stopped from overdose but he was fierce for a good 15min! Thus the legend is born! ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff cocaine bear. Ha. Love it and the clergy.
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff Andrew, loving the cocaine Bear!
ReplyDeleteLove all of these!
