From BruceR: Sarah the Succubus offering Nelia Reaper Cleric, Roman archers 7th Circle Violence, (90 pts)

Made it home from the ranch, and now off to MN for lake country over the New Year holiday.  Before I forget, Happy New Year to you and yours.  On to the challenge.

Sarah the Succubus: Travel from the 5th Circle to the 7th Circle: Violence

I've leaned into the side hustle of Dante's Divine Comedy and have elected to offer this great miniature received as a bonus figure when ordering from Reaper.  Done mostly with speed paints (I've been using them regularly and highlighting after). Prep is base coat black and slapchop white prior.  The figure is Sister Nelia  Cleric.  Might be able to hire as a tag along for my rangers.  A little more flamboyant in dress and sporting a mean mace and protective shield.  Pity the undead coming this bada@@ cleric's way.

Sister Nelia

Roman Archers:

Painted at the ranch, without basing material.  Finished up the bases and photos this AM at home.  I'm plucking the Seventh circle as a wargamer gimmie as I didn't feel it fair to take one next door with the cleric done and beseeching Succubus Sarah to move about Hell.  These Roman archers are here to unleash violence in the 7th circle of hell.  I immediately thought of one of my favorite movies "Gladiator" when the archers hit out at the Germanic horde.  

Oops, I googled unleash archers and got this, as a musical fool, I figured add them to this gig.  Never heard of, but with the name and a Canadian band how could I go wrong before the Snow Lord.  

Roman Archers unleashing Hell.  I'm a metal head (miniatures not music).  These Victrix Roman archers scared me as I've done chariots only from this company.  We ran out Midguard Heroic Battles written by James Morris and produced by ReisswitzPress and enjoyed the game.  I had Romans v Celts and was short of archers.  So went looking and found the best deal in the states to be Victrix.  I bit the bullet, bought and not too many bits.  Seem fragile and will see how they hold up.  The different poses are great, with loading, firing, pulling arrows from quivers.  I also like the different heads, as I chose mostly mustache sporting heads for that foreign look. 

7th Circle of Hell, Violence.

Last submission for the year.  Looking forward to 2025 reducing the pile of opportunity and to the world in general with trepidation.  I guess bring it on.

Your last post of the year is terrific, Bruce. I really like Sister Nelia, especially her vibrant tabard and tunic. I'm also impressed with her fleshtone and eyes. Very nice. 

While you may be a bit suspicious of your new-fangled plastic archers they really are a treat. Being a moustachioed fella I like your choice of barbarian auxiliaries. I also love the pose depicting them pulling arrows from their quivers. Very cool. 

Great work Bruce and a Happy New Year!
