[Laughing Ferret]

Finished another speed-paint, small skirmish team for the Planets in Peril setting, this time the warrior women of Venus: The Rodite

I used the Hydra Miniatures Valkeeri for these

Lovely. The green skin really makes these great minis pop even more.

Idea stolen.  Thanks.

Gems!

Great paint!

Well done.

Okay, despite all my carping on impractical uniforms, armor, equipment in assorted genres/periods       I must admit that these are great looking miniatures painted to a thematic "T" on top of that.     

Very well done, indeed.

Gracias,

Glenn

Super painting.
Love them.
Their uniforms look great.

Really brilliant.  The flesh tones are particularly good.

Your pulp sci-fi stuff is building up really nicely with these, the Suzeranity and the Apestronauts.  You are going to get some very nice looking games played.  I hope that you have some matching terrain for these guys either made already or in the pipeline.   I would love to see your take on pulp sci-fi terrain.

Thanks everyone 

Conquistador: I can understand, I'm usually not a fan of gratuitous cheescake, but the scanty-sexual undertones is so much an iconic cornerstone of the ray-gun genre it would be odd without it.  And the Hydra minis captured it perfectly.

Cheetor: I'll have to come up with something for terrain, I don't have any that seems particularly appropriate.  I used to have a crashed rocket terrain piece, I gave it away, I could make another, it's very easy, and have to raid the plumbing isle at Home Depot and start collecting plastic bottles.

Right but like your painting this (compared others to some on the market) are subtly understated which increases the "cool" factor.

Edit: That read strangely when I took a look post typing but it is a relatively subtle - as much as scantily clad can be subtle -    - and is more acknowledged in the presentation than focused on.

More Edit:  Okay that sounds... like a pretentious art critic... but I stand by my intent...    



Gracias,

Glenn

Superb painting.

[Michka]

I love this paint job, but I have one complaint. If this is an example of your "speed paint", I am jealous as hell. The single light source effect is brilliant. 

[DoctorPete]

I like your painting style.   

[Mason]

Bloody gorgeous!
 

Speed painted...?
Bloody jealous!
 


(I shall be nicking that idea too....and probably do something with it before smokezombie does!  )

 

[The Mystic Spiral]

Genius.

Love them. Space monkeys are ace too.
