Meet Threshold Operatives 4!

Hello,

I've finished remaining three EM4 gangsters/dunwich detectives I had. I have decided to show two as Threshold agents and one as an evil henchman (but, yet again, it could be any way around, obviously). Reason fully lies in filling the spots in the bestiary :P.

Here, I got an agent with double barreled shotgun (had none until now!) and a priest that I have painted as some kind of professor, spelling spells from a book that shan't be written and shan't be read! Oh my...


So, the double-barreled old chap, jolly good fellow is not really like any of my other agents. Compared to daring youngsters, he is old and has probably seen it all. I could see him as someone who enjoys a shot (or three!) of courage and a pipe before he goes on a hunt. Not hunting foxes this time, however!

Second guy looks a bit like Mel Gibson, doesn't he? Anyways, I have decided not to go the "priest way" and I have painted him in sandy colors. Pretty simple paintjob overall but I quite like it. He could be used as a special agent - spiritualist that you can hire. Or an evil High priest, perhaps? There is no way we could tell he doesn't want to bring lurkers out of space to Earth!


Other than that, they're nice addition to my ever growing pile for a game that (I quote) "only needs a handful of models"!

Thanks for looking,
Mathyoo

  1. Nice work on these Mathyoo, I like the fact you didn't do the obvious priest paint job on the second figure. I think he'd make for a good college professor or something also

    1. Thanks! The more I look at it, more I think he actually isn't meant as a priest after all - he wears typical man suit.

  2. Nice job I like the idea of the second mini of being a Professor far better than him being a priest.

    I love minis with double barrel shotguns I keep meaning to get the two Gripping beast sets from there Gentlemen Collectibles range.

    1. The double shotgun is really full of character, isn't he? But I've messed the paints choice on him :D

  3. Nice figures. I agree the not priest would make a good Prof. Armitage from the Dunwich Horror. Funny how the minis for "just a skirmish" game start to add up.

    1. Thanks Sean. Yeah, but compared to, say, warhammers, at least there isn't more than 4-5 of the same type! :P

  4. I agree that its nice to see different paintjob for somewhat obvious figures. He makes a good professor.

    1. Thanks Adam, how wouldn't a man of science be better in a struggle against things a man of god doesn't recognize? :P
