Title: Smokezombies M.O.S.S (ministry of occult studies Scotish division) Reverened.
Post by: smokezombie on November 07, 2012, 09:22:47 AM
Released from the Convent of the Black Keys on request of the Bruce ( Scotish divisional C.O).
Sister Asumpta replaces her fellow Convent sister who was sadly crippled and then killed in the line of duty. As well as providing the team with some extra spiritual support and a much needed .22 she cooks a mean tattys and neeps.

The civilian Sisted Asumpta

Nice work!

Very nice, indeed!
Very mean and moody.
 :-*

Lovely job on the black, looks spot on.

One thing that I need to ask, though: Does she have a surf board?
 ;)

Cheers guys.

I REALLY love the way you painted up that black dress!  :-* What is the recipe you used?

She is LOVELY...in a manner of speaking...GREAT brushwork. VERY WELL DONE!
I've been told by friends who have gone through Parochial Schools that Nuns are truly frightening creatures...ones with revolvers might be even more so.

Thanks Roon, Deaf and Lockswin.

She only the second mini I've tried a different approach to black on, I used to just paint a dark grey then wash with black but was never quite pleased with the results. On this lady I mixed a generic black with vallejo medium olive, quite dark, washed with bedab black (heavily) than highlighted with the original colour. Nothing fancy, certainly room for more layers if I could be bothered.
I wanted a suggestion of green so she'd match her ecumenical partner. Who I'll post later today.

Thanks again for the comments.

And here we have  the Reverened Green working as an agent for M.O.S.S.

Shunned by other members of his diocese after spending the last five years in the clink, falsely convicted for the murder of his close friend Dr Black at his stately Hampshire mansion ( with a candlestick holder...in the lounge), the Reverened knows that sometimes faith alone can't see you through hard times... Sometimes you need a really really big stick of dynamite.

He still wears his army coat.

He looks great!
Love the coat and the dynamite is a great touch!
 :-*

His background is just as good, too.
 lol

Be warned, though: Do NOT declare any of them as your favourite. You KNOW what will happen!

Haha! I'm sure you must be imagining that I called him my favourite Mason.. 8)

In the unlikely event that I win a game I'm torn between giving him the lightning reflex skill or decreasing the Captains dex. He really could do with being able to chuck some dynamite quickly.

There was a big discussion about alert going on and it made me think. Is it possible to detonate some planted dynamite instead of shooting as an alert "action"? >:D

Or is that just wishful thinking?

I've had to redo Lizzys flesh but she's next up. The most frustrating of my Agents..game wise.

I am inclined towards wishful thinking, as it could be too powerful, but maybe, as it is a viable ambush tactic in the real world.

We shall discuss (in a sensible manner... :)).


No longer a favourite, eh?
You are so fickle.

VERY WELL DONE! I love the shade of green on the Padre's trench coat...FINE brushwork & basing as always.

Haha. He is a rather characterfull sculpt and I am a bit pleased with the way the dynamite fit into his hand. Tactically he's been usefull, he's not quite proven himself yet tho.

Thanks Tas. Glad you like them.

Kind words as always Deaf... I must admit to having acquired a couple of evil shrooms of yours through a mutual friend.. Still planning on a way to incorporate them into a Lurker team.

I think your probably right Mason, perhaps it's a bit over the top...... What about planting and detonating MULTIPLE charges of dynamite.   ;D

COOL! I hope you have fun with them...I'm looking forward to your versions.
Those Mushrooms are now in Britain, Germany, & Italy...slowly taking over the World! BWAHAHAHAHA...for whatever that's worth!

Smoke Zombie - Fantastic work on both minis mate!

Nuns with guns - can't beat it!

Love the rev's background - top notch! I think he's definitely my favourite M.O.S.S man :).

Sorry that my ongoing fitness for duty prevented me from joining you boys last night, mate, but Mason said there'd been a few ripper games, and some lively debate!

Hope to catch up with you soon.

Thought for the day: Never Kick a Man When He's down - wait until you are sure that he is asleep, too...

Thanks aggro  :D

Lol. I do love the Rev.

No worries Bert, well catch up soon. There seem to be quite a few of us now. Perhaps two tables are needed Mason  ;) there were some good games. Suffice is to say I walked home in tears. A record quick loss followed by a phrenic victory that say my captain felled by a .22 in the final stages of the game. It was brutally fun tho.
Which reminds me....Mason has set the cat amongst the pigeons with an ingenious house rule regarding the Lurker player. I think he's trying to crush our M.O.O.S.E solidarity comrade.

There are becoming quite a few of us now.
Seven teams.
Maybe two tables is an option, Two games could be run side by side on a 4x4 table.
Will give it some thinking time.

As for my 'cunning plan' to divide your loyalties: If you want two games at once, there would be no choice in using it!
