Warzone Mishima Hatamoto
« on: 01 February 2014, 12:53:45 PM »

I have received most of my KS minis, as expected I like Mishima the most, consequently the 1st mini painted is a Hatamoto.

I will use it as a ViDe Future Combat "Hardshell Power Armour Combat Suit Commander"
Options: High Tech Combat Blade and Kinetic Pulse Carbine

The rest of the squad is now black primed and ready to go. A WIP shot still unprimed is below. I could not resist and made a head change (from the Samurai unit) and attached the old Dragonfire HMG.

Magnificient painting, retro in scheme but up-to-date in execution! :o

Strangely enough, compared to the huuuge heads the old Hatamoto figures had, this one is tiny, but I gather the figure is a kind of exo-suit or big powered armour, so it actually makes sense.

Nice  8)

Are they plastic and if so is there much conversion and posing potential?

cheers

That was the plan!  ;)

True, on some minis the heads are a bit too small. They may have overdone it with the whole "lets be anatomical correct, no more GW style minis"!

Are they plastic and if so is there much conversion and posing potential?

It is NOT plastic, it is a strange half elastic resin mix.
So far it is easy to work with, hot water and all bendy parts are good -  and is not bending back!

The Hatamotos come with 2 different bodies, 2 different heads and the arms. The sword arms have two poses!
Not much  conversion and posing potential on these, but many other minis from the range have it.

Nice work.  I think I'd prefer the minis if the shoulder pads were one piece though...maybe even with slightly curled upper corners. :D
