Hello Challengers,
The theme of lust is well represented in fantasy art, with the ubiquitous chain mailed bikini clad barbarian well represented in paintings, illustrations and miniatures.
When Malifaux burst onto the miniature scene in about 2007, they had an amusing new take on a number of tired tropes. One was the zombie hookers from the resurrectionist faction.
These nurse models are from the same faction, they are not zombified, nevertheless somewhat an amusing bent from the standard tropes.
The whole gang.
These models are a part of a set of five miniatures I painted from the first edition McMourning starter set. I do very much enjoy these starter sets, they are great fun. I got this from a bargain bin, the theme of my challenge this year. These models are highly detailed sculpts, so were pretty hard to paint. The detail was a bit beyond my aged eyes and old school painting methods, but I tried my best.
Points:
5 x 28mm miniatures = 25 points
Lust theme = 20 points
Squirrel count +1 for Malifaux Ressurectionists.
Kind Regards
Geoff.

Great work on these Malifaux misfits, Geoff. For 'Lust' I knew we were going to hit the usual suspects and you're first on the board with 'the sexy nurse' - congratulations! :) I have to say that even with your aged eyes and old school skills you did a magnificent job on this team. I quite like the doctor snapping on his gloves like Frank-N-Furter. Great stuff!

It's the gloves that really sell it. They look like a fun set of figures.
ReplyDeleteThe first edition sculpts were really good, great fun and these are very nicely done
ReplyDeleteGreat work, I like the nurse with the circular saw.
ReplyDeleteLovely figures. Definitely not the two you want to see if strapped to a table!
