From SebastianR: Some kind of automaton (5 points)

It’s been a bit of a rough start to the year and that has really eaten into my painting time, so I'll keep this brief. With the deadline looming I offer up this lil’ guy to stake my claim and keep the window open for the hodgepodge of projects to come.

This was a super simple paintjob; metallics and a bit of red for the eye washed with seraphim sepia to bring out the detail. The main colour is Vallejo bronze but it looks pretty golden to me. Maybe I dont know what polished bronze looks like.

His base has no makers mark and I have no idea what he’s supposed to be. He’s a little bit Pathfinder Iron Gods, a little bit Eberron Warforged, a little bit World of Warcraft. 

What he is, is 1 28mm figure for 5pts.


Well you may just be squeezing in before the deadline, but really glad to see that you've made it.  I too have a lot of real life going on in 2026, which has affected my painting time considerably.

What a splendid little automaton, but I'll try to keep on its good side.  I particularly like the steampunk look that the bronze colour gives it.  Welcome aboard.

  3. Glad you made it - sepia has a lot to recommend it and it lifts the bronze finish. Mr red eye is an intriguing character and an excellent start!
