"Weird Tortures In A Ghastly Abode Of Horrors."

"A tale of devil worship."

These three 28mm metal "Pulp Figures" models come from Bob Murch's "Weird Menace - The Strange Villainy of Pulpdom" range and can be found in either PWM 04 - Evil Hooded Minions or PWM 05 - Evil Hooded Minions II. The Cultist holding a rifle was 'advertised' as carrying a lantern. But as I wanted all my garbed goons to be armed I swapped this hand with one carrying a spare rifle which I had left over from painting my New York City 'Boys In Blue' last year.

To make painting these cultists reasonably simple, all of the models were initially undercoated with "Vallejo" Heavy Violet. I then managed to pick out all of their shoes with a combination of Heavy Brown and “The Army Painter” Strong Tone Quickshade, and a trousers with "Vallejo" Heavy Blue and "Citadel" Asurmen Blue. The other two minions' slacks were just too difficult to reach with a paintbrush, so for sanity's sake I settled on them being "Citadel" Abaddon Black.

All of the bounder's firearms were predominantly painted using "Vallejo" Gunmetal Grey and then washed with "Citadel" Nuln Oil. Although I used "Vallejo" Heavy Sienna for the rifle butts and applied more Strong Tone Quickshade on these areas. The villains' hands were initially given a layer of "Vallejo" Heavy Skintone, before being washed with some watered-down "Citadel" Reikland Fleshshade" and then received a final highlight of more "Vallejo" Heavy Skintone.

Besides beavering away at more "Pulp Figures" I have recommenced trying to re-base a number of my old “Copplestone Casting” figures in order to get them back on to my tabletop. This particular figure is from Code FW23 Zombie Troopers, and was probably painted back in 2007, when I gave all my models a "protective coat of PVA". At the time I started using "Citadel" Space Wolves Grey for my zombies flesh as I wanted to paint a unit of waterlogged undead, and felt the bluish hue was more appropriate.

I have managed to re-paint a couple of areas on this figure in order to bring out more of the model’s detail, such as using "Vallejo" Gunmetal Grey and "Citadel" Nuln Oil on his automatic rifle and armoured knee-pads. I've also applied some Doombull Brown to his belt pouches and repainted his damaged Snakebite Leather shoes before washing all of these areas with “The Army Painter” Strong Tone Quickshade.
