Support for your Cult

It's been a while since the last update here, tough times in the north at the moment: winter is coming. [Really, it's getting cold]

Some complete minis to show off for the Occult line that started with House Crowmantia's militia and the cultists.

Here we have some Cult gathering miniatures, not really for combat but to add flavour to command groups or for use in RPG/small scale skirmishes.

Not sure how these will go on sale at Anvil: one idea I have is that the praying chap could be replicated and come on a sprue of 5 or 6 – useful for statues as well if you are into terrain building! The two small drones will probably be attendants to the WIP cult leader...

Paint Jobs! Crowmantians

On sale at Anvil Industry.

Dollie Masters

A master for the Techno Communion troopers (head is separate). This will hopefully be cast a few times so I can use the torso on different leg poses. Whenever there is armour or mechanical parts like this I prefer to use a master to ensure uniformity throughout the squad/range. Very little detail at this stage.

These masters will be used for some mutant troopers and also some half orc slaves

Cultist Squad

I've talked to a lot of people about these cultist minis and some of their feedback, and perhaps preconception, is that words like 'frenzied, mad and bloodthirsty' come to mind when they picture cultists.

My take on them is this: cultists are the secretive cloaked members of society who hold bizarre rituals in derelict sewers and catacombs. They are not thrashing mad men – they are perhaps well to do and educated misguided power seekers with normal lives.

They are not proficient or vicious: they are mooks and henchmen. They are common folk and mere sheep to the charismatic cult leaders. Their knives are ritualistic, only used as a last resort when their rituals and meetings are interrupted or the Dracul beings they summon turn on them in a fit of rage.

Heads, pistols and knives will be separate for these guys. The heads are the same as the Crowmantian squad with the addition of the optional tall hooded leader head.

Quick note on the poses – despite these being one piece minis the arms are relatively flat at the connections so posture conversions will be easy!

Cultists: WIP

First three cultists.

Still some tweaks to be made to the arms and the knives.

Imperial Borderer Grenadiers

Almost finished....

Should have these shipped off to Anvil this time next week.

Paint jobs! Borderers and Occult Investigator

Time to inject some colour onto the blog!

Here are some of my initial paint jobs on the Occult Investigator and a squad of Imperial Borderers, all bases come from Anvil Industry.

These will be donated back to Anvil (for some better photography) and to be used for display at conventions and such. Luckily the paint job 'looks ok' from a few feet away....
