Again, a bit of an odd one this week. I've been dipping into the box(es) of unpainted models over the last couple of months and trying to finish some random miniatures that I've picked up over the years. I found a number of steampunk-style models from a variety of manufacturers, and thought that I'd paint them up as a little warband.
First up is a Privateer Press model. Some years ago, they released a faction called "Grymkin", which were Halloween-style monsters with pun names, and was very much not my cup of tea. However, one of them was a bizarre clockwork chicken robot (called the clockatrice), which looked quite cool. Here it is, painted up.
Weird, eh? I really like the model, just because it looks so crazy. I also added a few minions to the group.
The semi-ghostly lady on the left is a Privateer Press body and arm with Frostgrave bits. I imagine that she hovers slightly above the ground, wielding a combination of pistols and magic. I'm not sure where the robed mystic is from. I think he was part of a set of space crew, perhaps by the people who make the Dunkeldorf miniatures.
And here are two henchmen for this weird band of oddballs. On the right, we've got a Reaper miniature who seems to be some kind of mad scientist in a mechanical suit. Fair enough. On the left is a strange metal model from a range that I assume to be defunct. He's Bill Sykes, the thuggish baddie from Oliver Twist, except that he's got bionic legs because why not. He's actually a really nice model, but I've no idea who made him. I think I found him in a bargain bin.
So that's all pretty weird. I've plans to make more of these weirdos, but for the moment that's the sum total of Robot Chicken Brigade. For now...
