Chaos in Cairo

Ah, there they are. Thank you!

Still waiting on some models I ordered so I won't have the warband done before at least next week but wanted to do a test on one of my mummies before painting the entire warband. I'm pretty happy with this test although I need to find a more contrasting shade for the flesh. I think the color I chose (a light grey-green) is too close to the bandage color.

He looks good, though I agree the fleshtone comes off as too monochrome. Perhaps a shade of brown? Start dark and then drybrush lighter?

As usual, my crap photography doesn't accurately depict it. I was looking at the actual mini after I posted and he's much darker and contrasted in the fles...er, lead.

A great collection of figures. I like your painting. It really captures that dusty, gritty desert feel.

Thank you! It's been a fun project. I paint minis for a living so I have to be choosy when it comes to my own projects. The nice bit is that this one is about 2/3rds finished and most of what I have left to paint are mummies that paint up relatively quickly, what with their limited palette.

Lovley figures and paint job. One question!! to All, what defines a pulp miniature?

One question!! to All, what defines a pulp miniature?

That's a toughie!  Pulp has so many sub-genres and crossovers and so many fantasy elements injected into the stories that it make it difficult to define.

That said, if I had to go with the 'Traditional' Pulp look, I would say 1920s-1930s era clothing and equipment. Obviously, hairstyles and such would have to match as well.
