Frateris Militia and Frills & Fauna Critters

As I work on painting a batch of figures I often squeeze in a random thing that doesn't quite fit the rest. I bought some weapon conversion bits from Mad Robot for use on some Frateris Militia, and wanted to test out the fit right away. The resin head is from a 3rd party as well- I think it might be MaxMini. This was a relatively quick paint over a crummy undercoat.

I also painted a few more resin miniatures from the 'Frills & Fauna' Kickstarter. I have them all built and based, but not primed, so they will trickle in over time.

The 'Mammoth Jird'. Here is Krakon Games' description: Giant flesh-eating jirds… A rogue’s best friend. Very little loyalty is required when your sole purpose is to make people disappear.

Robot Hound. No space-faring adventurer is complete without mechanical sidekick.

  

Group shot for scale, with some Chaos Cultists. I thought I had taken a pic of the 'Snapper', but apparently not...

Dr. Lye once described these creatures as “Walking Piranhas”. he’d have probably referred to them as that many more times had they not eaten him alive as he attempted to befriend one. Is it a fish? Is it a dog? Are you brave enough to find out?

Lead Painter's League 11 - Round 2 - Fool's Gold

Round 2 of the LPL this year was a retro sci-fi scene. A while back I saw a 'Space Action' cover with a quartered uniform scheme that I wanted to try on a Hydra Miniatures spaceman. I switched out the red/green as I have never been a fan of that combo.

 

The spaceman is a Hydra 'Commander Mudpie' with a new head, from a Games Workshop Frateris Militia. He has a Bruce Campbell look that I like.

The creatures are 'Ferrus Testudines' that I acquired in a Kickstarter run by Krakon Games. They have metallic shells, and I wanted them to have a rusty golden iron pyrite appearance.

The skimmer is a 'Cerny Skimmer' that was available for a short time from Pulp Alley.
