Alaiteir's painted minis

To go along with the BoS minis posted yesterday, an update of what I’ve been sculpting!

Unfortunately some real life things mean I’m not going to be able to do any sculpting or painting for the next couple of weeks, so I thought I’d post a pic even though it’s not finished. Still got to work on the hood, shoulder/neck plating, arms, and other assorted details, but hopefully it’s at a stage where people can tell what it’s supposed to be; a raider veteran in cage armour!

Obviously it’s still got a fair way to go, but hopefully it’s still interesting for people to see it so far :slight_smile: I used a 32mm scale metal armature from GSW for the proportions, then sculpted the figure on top with greenstuff. I know some purists argue that sculpting doesn’t count unless you also sculpt the armatures, but I’ve sculpted enough armatures to prove to myself that I can do it and all it does is take up time that I’d rather use to be doing the details. In terms of why I chose this mini to do, I wanted a leader for my raiders when doing lower level style encounters. Someone who was still clearly an intimidating mini-boss, but who wasn’t quite up to the level of being a named character or having the resources to piece together a suit of power armour.
