A phantom, a lobster and an invisible man go into a bar...
« on: January 27, 2019, 09:08:58 PM »
Hey there!

The miniatures presented are all converted Reaper Miniatures, with the exception of the Invisible Man, who was directly painted.

The Phantom was a Speedster, converted with pistols, a skull emblem as well as two holsters. Whereas the Lobster came to be, through extensive use of modelling putty and filing down the miniature that was used as a base.

Looking forward to feedback and opinions as always!  :D

Great work! I always love seeing some Golden Age action!

FYI, the Heroclix Lobster Johnson is pretty cheap to buy and quite nice. Avolak Castings do a great Phantom as well.

Hello again, a few new shots in better lighting. After a tip from a forum member I tried a new setup. A comparison is evident when you look at the last picture and compare it to the newer ones above.  lol

The Phantom is one of my long time favorites.
I wish there was something this good in 15mm.

hmmm...maybe I should steal a page from your book?

A heroquest mummy indeed, courtesy of a british poundshop!  lol (Got 8 in fact!)

@Deflatermouse: And thanks! The Phantom is a Reaper superhero miniature. Some sort of knock off Flash it was, the figure's name was 'Zenith' methinks.

It's been a while, I know! But hey, after the Tactica and repeatedly thinking about it, I finally decided on building a few cultists for some undisclosed dark entity as of yet.
The figures are Frostgrave cultists mixed with bits from Perry Miniatures Afrika Korps and Warlord Games German Infantry.

They will be painted, of course. Probably red, as I rather like the colour with some made up emblem of theirs. The cultists themselves will be a mix of robed as well as uniformed individuals, meaning that they had been sponsored by a military before they adopted more reckless or unorthodox means.

Do enjoy, and I look forward to feedback!

The guy carrying the machinegun will probably receive a black or white glove, sort of as a sign of identifying heavy weapons types. The general figure, which had started out as a conversion for Red Skull, has now been converted to a half hooded cultist with a crusher cap. Said individual probably posing as the main antagonist of the bunch and sworn enemy of the Lobster or Phantom !

Cheers, Carl! Thank you for the comment!

True, got to think of one at some point!  :?

Might try and build one for my board to ponder about the scenario!
