From AndrewG: A Few Pulp Era Bad Guys (25 points)

As we begin to wind down on this year's challenge, I'm now just focused on finishing up whatever is still sitting on my painting desk from the beginning of winter. There's a few small war band bits and bobs to do for various games, including these nefarious looking chaps.




This crew consists of five metal figures from Bob Murch's Pulp Figures - specifically the Weird Menance line (PWM). I first saw these figures way back in 2003 when I attended Historicon. I had signed up for one of Bob's Rugged Adventures games and he was playing a scenario from their China Station campaign. Needless to say the game was great fun and I picked these characters up expecting that I would eventually use them for something. Unfortunately, they went into storage and, well, here we are.







Interestingly, I had originally painted them in red cloaks to stand out, but then changed my mind and repainted them similar to what appears on the Pulp Figures website. As such one might notice a slight red tint in the clothing. Overall, they were a quick job, and they'll do nicely for some interwar skirmish games we have planned for this year.

Very simply, 5x 28mm figures = 25 points

Great looking cultists, Andrew. These Bob Much sculpts are so wonderfully characterful and your paintwork really does them justice. I think you were right to eschew red and go with purple (Nyarlathotep will be pleased). Well done!
