I've been thinking about gothic horror in Latin America and I decided to paint up a group of monster hunters and monsters that reflect this theme. This is the first hunter. The figure is from Privateer Press Hordes line. I liked the character of the piece ,he reminds me of the late, great Charles Bronson.
I wanted to work with a lighter coloured palette than I use for my other hunters, mainly dark greys and browns. The huge blunderbuss reminded me of a Fowling Gun, an enormous shotgun used to kill whole flocks of birds. Woe betide the supernatural horror on the recieving end of its blast. The bastard sword back up is pretty fearsome as well.
