Compared to Proximo, Atrox is just a tiger. While he may not be the most spectacular creature out there, there’s a ton of great detail in the model.
My color choice came out much less orange than I had intended. The stripes also leave something to be desired. On the other hand, I’m quite satisfied with the whites on the face and paws, and I fixed a nasty gap in the hips.
From the first time I saw Arena Rex, I wanted the fantastic beasts. Proximo is probably the most fantastic that I’ve done to date.
The sculpt feels like a cheetah/giraffe/snake hybrid, each flowing into the next. I tried to blend, mostly with the airbrush, so the paint job would match.
Once again it’s time for a reflection on a year of hobby.
Overview
I started the year with a deadline looming. A Team Yankee campaign was getting started. I had just acquired enough models to fill out an army and only had about five weeks to get it table ready. I also had Dropzone Commander and Arena Rex backburnered.
Acerbus is my favorite of the Arena Rex beasts, and the last of this batch of Arena Rex models.
I love everything about this model. He totally fills the 60mm base. The skin is so ancient, with old and new wounds evident. I managed to achieve a bit of variety to the skin tones, even though it’s all gray.
The kit comes with two different heads. I went with the bigger one, because why wouldn’t I. I think I might have a hard time resisting getting a second so I can see how the smaller one turns out.
