Painted: Crooked Dice Minions\Autons
« on: January 28, 2011, 04:36:56 PM »
For one of our Salute games this year, I needed some Autons (old Doctor Who monsters) for the DWMG: Victory of the Daleks game. http://leadadventureforum.com/index.php?topic=25592.0

Dags has just finished off these for me - and I'm delighted how they turned so thought I'd show these ones in a separate thread. These are the Crooked Dice Unarmed Minions with the Mannequin heads from the Alien sprue.

Very nice indeed, minions are very simple but very effective sculpts, like the blue jumpsuits, nice colouring against the auton plastic.

Cheers. An easy choice. Their original Spearhead appearance had them in blue boiler suits.

Nicely painted, but I think that those bodies make for better minions than Autons: too dynamic a pose, and the equipment belts don't work for me.  Still, nice figs.

Steve - you're not wrong. Maybe another sculpt is needed :)

Some suited bodies and 'man at C&A' jumper and slacks combos are required, plus some firing 'hands'?

:D
