Theodore Bruckner on foot

Here's the second Theodore Bruckner mini, the version on foot. I rather like the whole stance of the mini, he looks really poised to strike. I decided to give him the shield from my MkIII Boarding Marine, seeing as how he doesn't have one, and it suited the mini so well.

Busy busy busy.

Sorry for the lack of updates lately, I've been painting a bit, but not much, and no Carcharodons I'm afraid. Money has been low, and I've been feeling like a break from my little grey marines. However, as mentioned, I have been painting a bit! I've painted a Chaos Warriors command group, which are almost done, and I've painted Theodore Bruckner! That mini was gorgeous, unfortunately mine needed a lot of work vìs filing, green stuff, etc. It was even missing one of the four head options... not the ones I'd planned on using, but still!

I went for a different kind of scheme on both figures, Theodore and Reaper. Reaper is gorgeous, btw. I've always loved gryphons, even demigryphs. I went for a snow-themed base, and painted Reaper in winter colours to match. I'm quite pleased, even though I noticed a glaring mold line on the pictures after I was done painting. The lance was one of the last bits I painted, so I thought "screw it" and finished him off. It was a little awkward painting the prominent scrotum and penis on Reaper...fortunately they're under the mini so not really visible. :P

Anyway, here are some pictures for your viewing pleasure!
