From GeoffT, Gluttony, Oni no Tsuburi, (50 points)

 Hello Challengers,

These beauties were retrieved from a bargain bin.  They are called Oni no Tsuburi.  Their faces are fabulous, I really like these models and will be keen to find a role for them in a game.  I didn’t bother reading the lore on these as I am pretty sure they are gluttonous.  I did identify they belong to the Clan Wars game, from the Shadowlands faction.




They are truly massive lumps of metal, I can only conclude that metal was much cheaper in real terms in the era they were made, mid 1990s I think.  They are 60mm tall, but have a huge 90mm arm span.  I have put them next to a few other models to show the scale of these monstrosities. 


They could be considered to be 28mm vehicle sized for 20 points a pop, but not quite there I don’t think.  Or maybe just saying as a 54mm fig for 10 points a pop.  But their girth would suggest 10 points is an understatement.  They certainly took a long time to paint, and depleted my supply of flesh colours. However, such claims for heady points values will need to go to the adjudicator I feel.  I do certainly hope they are worth at least 12.5 points each so they are worthy of a squirrel.

Points:

2 x 28mm big things = 30 points as a guess.

Gluttony = 20 points

Squirrel +1 for Clan Wars Shadowlands.

Kind Regards 

Geoff.

Great looking Oni Geoff. I love the way you've painted them - their mouths are super disturbing and scary. I'm thinking that these would be fantastic for Hametsu.

Let's go with your suggestion of 15 each. Well done!

    1. Thanks, they were a blast to paint. The big surfaces work well for the layering method which I prefer.

  4. Yuck! And I mean that in the nicest way. Great work on the too much flesh. I feel that they should be wearing MAGA hats.
