Actors in 'The King in Yellow'
« on: September 22, 2012, 08:53:43 PM »
I was keen to get some paint on Otherworld Miniatures new cultists and, having just re-read Robert W Chambers, they had to be yellow!

As the 'madness' lies within the play, I liked the idea of calling then actors rather than cultists.





In hindsight, I think the other Evil High Priest might have been a better option, but there's always next time! I'm thinking of adding a 'militant' wing, maybe using some of Pulp Figures minions?

The King in Yellow was magnificent and not just because it was a set of cleverly disguised romance stories. :D
That really is some lovely painting.
And a good idea to have thespians as opposed to cultists, the actual followers of the King in Yellow were mostly unstable recluses from what I recall.

Those minis are cool. I don't think I've ever seen them before.

The paint jobs rock as well of course!

That's good work with that yellow - not too golden.
