On the first day of a new year it is pleasant to wander beneath the stars down to your workshop. The sky was clear and the air chill. Stars, in there thousands, speckled the sky while the glowing, shimmering moon hung high.
A beautiful sight.
This bounty hunter was not a beautiful sight at all. Not good, not bad, but rather ugly. The slotta base was missing, one foot damaged while most of the crossbow at his hip was absent. To top all of this, he is another one of those dreadful pewtery casts from the mid '80s where the detail distorts and rubs away.
All in all, he was a figure with no name. And no hope.
Thanks to a little green stuff and a lot of paint he lives to hunt again. Doesn't his visage grace a piece of art in the Enemy Within campaign, or was it the WFRP rulebook? I can't quite remember. Repairing him took me every which way but loose.
I tried to keep the colour scheme as brown as possible here, as a nod to Clint Eastwood's numerable Westerns (spaghetti or not) that clearly influenced this figures design. I didn't have long to finish him either, as MFM required me for telly watching. In fact, I am needed even as I type these letters.
I'm satisfied with the paint job. I'm sure to go back and tweak bits here and there when I have more time, especially on the glowing cigar. Ultimately, this morning he was in a shocking state and now he drifts the high plains once more.
Perhaps I should hunt out another one of these figures, in better condition. But he will probably cost a few dollars more.

He does indeed appear in WFRP1! I think you've done a very good job rescuing him. I also like what you've done with the poncho; the obvious choice would be to copy one of Clint's film ponchos, but the more plain approach brings out the details in the rest of the figure.
ReplyDeleteThank you Kelvin. To be honest, I wimped out of doing anything more intricate on the fabric. Painting patterns on these clothing of models isn't something I've been brave enough to do just yet.
DeleteI think all the figures in the last photo are based on basic and advanced careers from the WFRP1 book. Page 289 in the WFRP1 rulebook has a photo gallery of some of the minis above, plus others, all painted up, including the Bounty Hunter who is named as Klaus Osterwald (haha!). Great paint job! :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reminder. I used to love the careers section of the rulebook. I'd spend ages reading through all of the basic careers but never actually attempt to use any of them. I do much the same today, with cRPGs so I guess old habits die hard (:
DeleteThe puns, the terrible puns.
ReplyDeleteMaybe you could indeed buy a nicer one, but spending valuable money on duplicate models when the house needs fixing could see you getting a Rawhide from YFM?
One a side note to the puns, I could never decide if I thought the figure fitted into Warhammer or if it was too much of an obvious fun sculpt that whilst cool, seemed out of place in a European flavoured Empire.
The shape and style of the sculpting helps him blend in. Isn't it called the heroic style or something? I am glad you liked the puns. If I made any more I think I'd be...

Haha, I wasn't familiar with that one, it's so fun! You certainly made quite a nice work on that!
ReplyDeleteThank you Suber!
DeleteWe were told that cryptocurrency was the next big thing and many people fell victim into the wrong hands and i was also one of them, i was told to invest and get 10% of my investment every month and it was looking all good at first because i got 10% the first month and i was persuaded to invest more which i did, the second month came expecting the next 10% then i was told to send my bitcoin barcode which i did the next thing i discovered that my bitcoin wallet was cleaned up, i was left devastated and lost, to crown it up the people i invested in stopped replying and all of these happened on telegram, i came across macprivateinvestigators@gmail.com and they helped recover all my stolen funds along side with the investment.
