Meet Threshold Operatives 3!


Hello,

The two threshold agents I am about to show you are from Artizan's Thrilling Tales range. I bought a pack on Salute, so I could say those are my first painted miniatures after the show! I've painted them few days back, but anyways...I've used two for the agents and third for rouge Threshold agent. It had this evil look about it, so I figured it was supposed to be evil. I have actually played a game with them just yesterday - Rogue threshold agent has stolen Heat ray gun from Threshold Special branch and my (new, as previous' list character died in his 3rd game or so) Threshold group went after him. With my luck, I had an agent killed and evil villain ran away with our prototype weaponry!

Anyways, here they are. I am not too fond of the sculpts...I mean, I like the style but I don't like the miniatures too much...there is just something that doesn't appeal to me. Other than that, very nice figures.

I've picked the pack impulsively, because of the Lewis gunner. I needed (well, wanted) a .30 cal machine gunner and this one wasn't too bad. Again, none of the two appeals me too much, but they were quite fun and easy to paint. The guy on the left had a tommy gun, which I didn't need (I got a tommy gunner + got another one as I bought a policemen pack on Salute :P). He also carries a dynamite (which made this pack even better!), so it was perfect for Strange Aeons. I cut the thompson gun away and sculpted torch. There are rules for torches in game, but I haven't actually use them yet - I just figured it would look fun as he needs something to light those red sticks with! Plus, if I do use torch in a game, I have a miniature to represent it with. I've painted red cross on one of his bags, so he can also be used as a medic. The other guy is nothing special, so I believe no explanations are needed.

As you can see, they have some static grass on the bases. I've bought same color, 2 and 4 mm that I've mixed together and applied to every painted miniature I've shown so far. I will show you the third guy from the pack next time!

Thanks for looking,
Mathyoo

    Very nice mate. I quite like the Artizan figures. They have a fun Pulp range, they have one or two I'd like for my 7TV collection.

      I like the pulpy feel to their Thrilling tales, yes. I would like to get US troops eventually for WWWII SA games and more cultists, I only got a pack at Salute :D

    They aren't that bad, Mathyoo, and the torch looks great.

    I'm with everyone else, good job on the torch. I think the figures go well with the theme.

    Very nice Mathyoo, the lewis gun reminds of that scene in the movie La Horde, where the guy unleashes a .30 cal MG on a corridor full of zombies, fantastic scene.

      Thanks! Will also look up the movie...to be honest, I'd prefer to have an agent behind .30 cal, but I didn't came across suitable miniature yet - perhaps partisans? :)

    Good looking figures Mathyoo and you've done an excellent job on the torch. There's something about Artizan figures I really like and these are no exception.

      Thanks! The style is quite "specific", yes. I actually prefer them to Haslefrees, that is too realistic, so to say.
