Anti-Eternians - Anti-Man-At-Arms
Another character from the German audio plays, Anti-Man-At-Arms is, as you will have guessed, the evil mirror identity of Man-At-Arms from the Anti-Eternia universe. Like Anti-He-Man, the main colours are black, red and grey. This one has no official figure, so there is some artistic freedom to represent him.

The figure is of course another copy of the Quest Miniatures Man-At-Arms figure, with custom base.

Stunning. You really do a good job on those reds and greys!

Thanks. I'm still not a great fan of the Anti-Eternia colour scheme, it feels like something 8-year old me would have come up with, but it's part of MOTU canon, so might as well do a few to expand the factions.

Help, getting stroke of nostalgia!

Great work by the way

I continue to enjoy this thread tremendously! The anti-eternians remidn me of those palette-swapped sprites from old videogames

Yes, I guess the whole concept was a frequent theme in the '80s (not to mention, budget friendly for the companies).

These paint jobs are glorious, fantastic work.

Thanks, more to come when I find some more time to paint.

To complete (for now) the round of Anti-Eternian counterparts, Anti-Eternia Teela is as cruel as she is beautiful, in a cold, dark way. This one was a bit of a rush job and it doesn't take well to pictures as the black paint and highlights are slightly glossy. Having no clear example of what she should look like, I sort of made it up going by what I figured would look good. I also decided to change the bases on my Anti-Eternians (though you don't see it very well in the pictures) by adding red in the recesses between the tiles, which gives an impression of heat and fits well with the Anti-Eternian theme. This one was painted as part of He-Month 2 (over on the Cheaphammer blog) and will likely be my only entry this month.

The deadly Anti-Teela

My three versions of Teela so far: Anti-Teela, Teela and Snake Teela.

Heroic Warriors: Battlecat

Battlecat is one of the top tier characters that should be present in any MOTU collection. A huge armoured tiger, with a humanlike intelligence that can be ridden in battle by He-Man is no foe to trifle with. Like He-Man's alter ego Prince Adam, Battlecat is the empowered version of the Prince's tiger, Cringer. Once He-Man calls upon the power of Castle Grayskull, the cowardly Cringer is transformed into the fearless Battlecat.

This model is the 1980s Grenadier Miniatures sculpt and it holds up surprisingly well for it's age. There are a few minor rough spots, but those are more due to the casting techniques of the day than any flaws of the sculpt itself. The size is also spot on, and makes for a really imposing model. The base is a Fenris Games resin base, to which I've added the usual flagtile texture. These are the only bases I've found that are big enough to accommodate this mighty beast.

Supposedly at 25mm scale, the old Grenadier model is just about the right size for the newer 30mm sculpts:

He-Man and Battlecat

Easy now, big cat, we're not looking for any trouble.

He does indeed look spot on.
A true 'must have' for any MotU collection.

Very nice. I particularly like the way you made the colour scheme work, i.e. strong red adjacent to a saturated green.

This thread tickles my nostalgia in all the right places. And I love it.
