Continuing to flesh out the Arcanist collection (and clear out my stash of limited models), Alt Firestarter comes out to play.
Fire is not one of my strengths, but I love the dynamism of the pose. I continue to do a tiny tiny amount of OSL, with orange highlights on the boots and straps. It might be too subtle, but it helps.
One of the things I really miss with Resistance is light dropships. Battle Buses are supposed to help fill the gap, so let’s give it a whirl.
I’m not super excited about the weapons (I tend to play lite on upgrades), but I magnetized the howdahs to futureproof the models a bit.
I’ve seen a lot of these done up as yellow school buses. Always trying to be the special snowflake, I decided on a sherrif’s blue bus instead. For bonus fun, that would make a lot of the slats pre-existing.
I thought this bus looked like a tour bus, which around us tend to be white with a logo somewhere.
The con model was too cool not to leave open topped, so it gets to be armed.
This model represents my second Guilder model. Unlike Vintage Pandora, the sculpt itself is kind of underwhelming. But slap a “limited edition” label on it and I’m helpless, evidently.
Between the Coryphee, Miss Step, and now Dr Alexei, my Dark Carnival crew is be spoiled for choice for big point hitters. Now I just need more special edition little guys to fill it out.
I bought Miss Step way back at Black Friday 2014, and it’s been sitting there, waiting for more Arcanists to give me an excuse to paint it. Finally the time has come.
I copied the technique used for my last spider-person model, the somewhat beefier Colossus from Guild Ball. By putting a foot up on a rock, it gives the model a bit of movement, although from the side it makes her look a bit off balance. When I remember to use it, the rock gives a little handle to pick up the model, too.
