I am not Groot: Pulp Alley BatRep 23/10/14

[cheetor]

I enjoyed reading about Groot when I was a kid, when he fought with the Hulk.  I liked the Guardians of the Galaxy movie.  I like space elves/Eldar.  I decided to combine all that into a sort of space wood elf thing.  This big wooden guy is the first model off the assembly line.





Basically its a sort of Exodite project, but as people tend to heavily associate that concept with dragons and dinosaurs I wont use that term too often.  In summation, this is about alien plant people allied with space elves who tend to hang around/symbiotically bond with a lot of insects.



The project will be about twenty models strong I suspect.  I have a number of them already in progress and should have more to show within the week.



More images etc in the blog post.  I should have more of these guys finished over the next week or so.

Really cool job on that guy Paul! And thanks for clearing up that Groot reference, I was wondering if I'd read anything with Groot in it without remembering. That issue, with Blip, Goom, Groot and all those other obscure monsters was a favourite of mine as a kid. Just look at that cover:


Why does the Hulk look like Peter Dinklage there though? =)

Some are born Groot, some achieve Grootness, and some have Grootness thrust upon them.

Lovely!

Intimidating though - that mini is in my paint queue for this week!

Coincidentally, there is at least one space elf miniature with a Neil haircut lined up for this project

Me too.  More than the old Ferrigno/Bixby show, that story is the one that made me "get" the Hulk as a young kid.  I could talk for a ages about that, but for the sake of keeping the thread on target I wont

If nothing unexpected happens over the next few days then I should have a further handful of models for this project finished before the weekend.

Really like the vibrancy of the model - the bright colours really bring it to life. Looking forward to see what else comes along with this little warband.
