This 28mm metal "Pulp Figures" model comes from Bob Murch's "Weird Menace - The Strange Villainy of Pulpdom" range and is one of five figures that can be bought as set PWM 05 - Evil Hooded Minions II.
The cultist was initially undercoated with "Vallejo" Heavy Violet and then had his shoes painted using a combination of Heavy Brown and “The Army Painter” Strong Tone Quickshade. As his trousers were rather difficult to reach with a paintbrush I settled with simply painting them Citadel" Abaddon Black.

I used "Vallejo" Gunmetal Grey, with a wash of "Citadel" Nuln Oil for the metalwork on the fiend's firearm, and then applied a coat of "Vallejo" Heavy Sienna on the rifle's butt. This area was subsequently shaded using Strong Tone Quickshade. Next the villain's hands were given a layer of "Vallejo" Heavy Skintone, before being washed with some watered-down "Citadel" Reikland Fleshshade", and as a final highlight the fingers were picked out with more "Vallejo" Heavy Skintone.
In addition to finishing my tenth and final Hooded Minion, I have also managed to base a 20mm resin model of a "Stargate" which I must have painted several years ago at least. I believe it was once sold by "M.J. Figures" as part of their "Armies Of Mythology" range, a somewhat peculiarly oval-shaped alien Einstein-Rosen bridge device which is clearly inspired by the American television series "Stargate SG-1".

| "Crooked Dice Game Design Studio" WIPs - The two infected security guards are almost finished |
Lastly I have once again managed to get some more paint on the three “Crooked Dice Game Design Studio” figures I've yet to finish as part of my (arguably overly-ambitious) Zomtober 2015 project "Doctor Who And The Seeds Of Doom". Having finally finished painting the two infected security guards' blue overalls, as well as laid down a second layer of white upon Arnold Keeler's laboratory coat, I'm actually hoping to have these miniatures finished within the next few days...

Looking forward to the batrep Simon. The cultists look fab all together and the mutated scientists will be a great boon to your Seeds of Doom project.
ReplyDeleteThanks Andy. I'm very pleased with the Hooded Minions, and will be glad to get the infected finished for "Dr Who". Glad you're intrigued by the BatRep.
DeleteGreat to see the cultists en masse and thrilled that the 'Seeds of Doom' project is still ongoing, but as for that final shot - wow! Looking forward to reading all about this!
ReplyDeleteCheers Michael. Lots going on as you can see, and I certainly hope you'll enjoy "AvB7" as it was an absolute blast to play and I've already got a second game planned.
DeleteGreat job on the Cultists!
ReplyDeleteI've been looking out for an Egyptian style Stargate for a while...thinking I could use it as a 'bridge' between my Lost World games and Mars but have yet to see one for sale.
Thanks Gordon! I don't think "M.J. Figures" do the resin stargate any more. I certainly couldn't find it on their website. but it might be worth asking them? It is a bit small though for 28mm, as you can hopefully see. But makes a nice portal imho.
DeleteCultists: almost as good as Nazis as disposable villains! I look forward to seeing them slain in droves :-) .
ReplyDeleteCheers Hugh. I certainly have a BatRep in mind for these purple-robed baddies :-)
DeleteAVB7 looks promising!
ReplyDeleteI do hope so Roy. I would certainly like to do some more.
DeleteThe figures look great and I am looking forward to the batrep too
ReplyDeleteCheers Damon. Much appreciated.
DeleteThe cultists look fantastic all together Simon, great job. Good to see you haven't given up on the Seeds of Doom project either. AvB7 sounds like it's going to be a blast dude!
ReplyDeleteMany thanks Bob. "Seeds of Doom" is certainly not forgotten I assure you, though "AvB7" is a little distracting ;-)
DeleteNice group shot of your cultists, Simon and nice to see the Seeds of Doom project getting some progress. And I am looking forward to the Aliens vs Blake's 7 batrep, as I'm curious how it turned out.
ReplyDeleteCheers Jez. The Cultists have turned out rather nicely imho. It'll also be good to get some more progress done on my "Dr Who" project. Hopefully you'll enjoy "AvB7" too.
DeleteCultists look like the loony lot they should do. With guns.
ReplyDeleteNice to see the mutant fellows still plodding along. It's funny as my son wanted to watch the Dr Who episodes featuring these guys but quickly asked that it be turned off due to being "Too cheesy". Ah the attitudes of 11-year-olds.
Blake and crew look soon to be alien hosts.... poor sods.
Thanks Dai. I'm very pleased with the Hooded Minions. But "Seeds of Doom" "Too Cheesey"!?! Outrageous!!! ;-)
DeleteBlake and his team do indeed have their work cut out for them, as you'll shortly find out.
Love the sinister group of cultists! :)
ReplyDeleteNow what is the collective noun for them (cultists)? :P :D
Cheers PulpCitizen. I believes its a confraternity of cultists, but I could be wrong ;-)
DeleteNice stuff Simon, looking forward to the Batrep.
ReplyDeleteCheers Roger.
Thanks Roger, Hopefully you'll enjoy it.
DeleteCultists with a stargate. What could go wrong?
ReplyDeleteLooks great, Simon.
Cheers Finch. My thoughts precisely.
DeleteGood to see the group shot after seeing them being finished over the last few weeks.
ReplyDeleteThanks Joe. Thought it would only be right and proper.
