Have you already gamed with your precious?

No, and no real perspectives either for the short term, but I don't mind, I still have lots to paint and build for it.

I just joined the Masters of the Underhive page on Facebook & I have sooo many damn minis I have to try & get from that group . Hordak looks great, I see you went with the toon colors.

This sculpt is based on the cartoon design, so I went with that colour scheme. The other sculpt in the Masters of the Underhive page is based on the toy.

I'm going for a predominantly cartoon inspired collection here, but that hasn't stopped me from incorporating elements from the toy range or minicomics (like the Goddess mini or Skeletor's purple powersword).

There is also the MOTU Gaming group on facebook which has a more complete and up to date list of all the minis available.

Stunning work. I can't wait to see all this in a game!

I might have missed it, but who makes Skeletor's Hover Bots?

Keep up the great work!

Thanks for the comments! I still have a dedicated board to build for them as well.

I've sent you a PM.

Many thanks, WK! They are great looking figures!

Evil Horde - Horde Troopers
If Hordak has been able to conquer Etheria it is largely thanks to his vast army of robotic Horde troopers. Mindless machines, they don't tire and know mercy nor remorse.

I can't believe it's been 8 months since I was able to paint something new for this project and it shows. The painting skills are a bit rusty and my brushed were running on their last legs, so as a result, I'm not overly happy with how they came out, which is not to blame on the models as they are spot on. Hopefully, now that the painting muscles have been stretched, and with the help of some new brushes to be bought, the next ones will be better.

Hordak and some of his Horde troopers

Hordak is backed up by his troopers, but He-Man and Battlecat know no fear.

I think you're being awfully hard on yourself.

They look great to me! Are they mods you've made or purchasable?

Nowt wrong with them, mate.
They look great!

They look great, your 'rusty' standards are way better than my top skills!!

Thanks for the gentle comments. The pictures have been very forgiving on them, which is a nice change for once.

Evil Warriors - Skelcon Footsoldiers
Introduced into MOTU continuity by the Ladybird books, the Skelcons are a race of horned demons who worship the bones of their ancestors until a summoning spell, cast by Skeletor, brought them to Eternia. For obvious reasons, they view Skeletor as their god and serve as his soldiers, wearing skull masks and wielding weapons built from the bones of their dead.

Skelcon warriors

Ironically, I am both happy and unhappy with how they came out. I hesitated longly whether to paint their faces as bone mask, like the MOTUC toy, or in the same colour as their skin, like in the original Ladybird books. I went with the former for more contrast and I think it was a good call. I also wanted their skin tone to be different from Skeletor's, so went with a darker, greener blue. The resulting colourscheme looks great, I think, but ironically, now I sort of wish I did paint them in Skeletor's skintone, like the Ladybird version. The bases are my usual recipe of sculpted on flagstone texture, painted in purple as they are part of the Evil Warriors.
