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.
I’m a well-documented sucker for limited models. So when Lupa became available, I had to have her. I used a combination of the red-violets of my Legio XIII and greens of some of my Zephyri so she’ll fit in with either. Arena Rex’s fluid faction system means it doesn’t really matter, but I’m not one to find clever combos.
This hammer, in resin with two contact points, is pretty much my nightmare, trying to keep things lined up and straight. At least it isn’t as painful as some of the spears.
The alt for the Swinecursed is what really pushed me into picking up the Wong box. I am a sucker for alternates and limiteds, and the Swinecursed’s built in Magical gives it some immediate synergy.
I decided to go bold for hair color. Wong’s magic seems like a colorful kind of magic, as opposed to the more naturalistic Zoraida. I only realized after it was too late that the texture on the forearms is supposed to be more hair. Oh well.
Miss Fire (alt Willie) exhausts my Arcanists limited stash.
I decided she was using wooden wheels. Overall I’m pretty meh on the paint job for this model. The thrown dynamite doesn’t really sell. Her face is really flat. At least her clothes look okay.
