Joker's Wild

As I said some time ago, as a post-Ofsted treat to myself I bought a luxury. The Batman Miniatures Game figures are lovely but waaaay to expensive for me to make a habit of it.

Anyway, the first of the two minitaures I ordered turned up just before Christmas; it is the Joker as he appears in Moore's peerless The Killing Joke as drawn by Brian Bolland:

I made a couple of palette changes; I felt the gloves in another shade of purple didn't help and a blue would make the miniature pop a little more. I also added pinstripes to the trousers to help differentiate them from the jacket.

Anyway, here he is









Cylon Raider is up next, followed by an X Wing repaint.

Spaceships and Victorian Vigliantes

First up is the Sol Fleet pieces from the Rex Boardgame. It seemed like an easy thing to just give them a quick going over as the rest of the game was so visually appealing:

The ships as they originally appear

Second is the matching piece to the Man Who Grins. Again, a lovely sculpt from Vermis on the Lead Adventure Forum merited a More Than Tabletop Quality paintjob:

I decided to go with the feel of an Inverness Cape, rather than something he'd had specially made. The brown is also more Victorian than black to my way of thinking. 

I am quite ridiculously pleased with the blending on the cape. 

And, just for fun, I decided to stick him in a Victorian Batcave.

Next up will be the Human Bloodbowl team and then some more In Her Majesty's Name characters.
