finally another SA related post!
I've bought a pack of Heresy ghouls at Salute earlier this year. After I've checked list back at home, I've settled for a single pack (but I had the dying wish to have them all :P)...I didn't really pick around too much, just made sure it is not the one with mother and a baby. Not that I'm particularly bothered by those two, its just that this pack is more suitable. I've painted them about a month ago (just before I started working on humvees), but I have saved the post until after that project.
Now, I got a bit of a love-hate relationship with this pack. The sculpts are great. Could be a bit more canine around the faces, but overall great ghouls. Perhaps too..hm...too "violent" looking for my "cartoonish" preferences in SA (GW would be perfect :P), but very, very nicely defined and all. They were a pain to put together (not sure if that is only in my case), but painting them was true joy. I went for true-to-Lovecraft blackish skin, made some glowing eyes and the rest is nothing special. I had great joy using Tamiya clear red again...in abundance. It has to be the smell!
Thanks for looking,
Mathyoo
Very bloody looking!!! Nice work!
ReplyDeleteThanks! Bloody it is, suits black :D
DeleteThey look great mate. I see what you mean about them looking quite aggressive I think its a good thing though.
ReplyDeleteThanks. And yup, while I rarely put much thought in miniatures, those really seem like they got some kind of backstory...really are nice sculpts.
DeleteVery ghoulish looking ghouls, well done.
ReplyDeleteHah, then they must have been done right! Thank you!
DeleteNice work on all of these; the ghouls look massive. Best, Dean
ReplyDeleteThanks Dean! They are kinda "heroic" 28mm, but the poor explorer isn't really standing upright, either.
DeleteNeat work, very neat. I love the colours.
ReplyDeleteThanks! I am quite happy with them too, but there really isn't many on them :D
DeleteGood figures, they do look the part
ReplyDeleteThanks Joe :)
DeleteVery nice Mathyoo. I am sure they will grace your table with suitably Ghoulishness.
ReplyDeleteHaha, thank you. Good thing I already have the graveyard!
DeleteNice work on these. They look ready to eat someone. Or several someones.
ReplyDeleteThey are just eating someone! :P
DeleteThank you!
The last photo...Guess who just shat his pants as the light showed him what the noices were.....
ReplyDeleteWell painted Mate
Nah, mr. explorer here has seen every monster so far. And if what doesn't kill you really makes you stronger, he can start wearing white pants without the fear of them turning brown! :D
DeleteThank you :)
The ghouls looks great, love the blood....
ReplyDeleteThanks mate...not sure how the second part makes me feel, heh
DeleteHi again, Mathyoo. Long time, no comment! These are a cool set of ghouls and you were right to overindulge with the TCR.
ReplyDeleteHey Bryan, glad you're back with us ;).
DeleteThanks for the commend and here you can see what I've done with the horror clixes so far:

Nice work as always Mathyoo! I've been trying to convince my self that I really do NEED these figures, and I think you've pushed me over the edge to get them now!
ReplyDeleteHah, well, thank you and I hope this is a good thing! :P
DeleteDo post them up, I am interested in seeing what you come up with :)
