Killjoy had been just below the cutoff on my buy list for such a long time. I’m glad I finally picked him up.
Killjoy
He’s a pretty straightforward model, although I’m sure I’ll snap off the chain before too long. I got to do some blood effects, and I like the mottled texture the skin ended up with.
I’ve only gotten in one game with Killjoy, paired with Pere Ravage. Ravage ran up, as usual, then when he blew Killjoy was ready to mop up any and all survivors. Of course, that made up nearly 40% of my crew, so ought to be good.
Gracie makes the final pig in the queue (for now).
Gracie
I had considered doing something different for the skin, along the lines of the variety in Piglets. After all, I’ve already got big pink models in Old Major and a War Pig. I decided the light colored pink would give a nice contrast to relatively dark improvised armor and bags.
The model ended up less colorful as I sometimes like, but I like it. I especially like how the bottles turned out.
I already have one War Pig in the form of the War Wabbit. But one is never enough. Although with my poor effectiveness with summoning Ulix, perhaps one was actually enough.
War Pig
There was a nasty seam line down the centerline of the pig. Along the back the hair hides it pretty well. On his chest, not so much. Green stuff to the rescue.
If I decide to do more War Pigs, I think it would be fun to do more animals. I’ve already got a pig and a rabbit. Maybe a giant beetle? Or a cow? A goat?
I like the Gremlin operatior, and the hogtied pig is pretty awesome. I wish the catapult part had more detail, though. The wooden frame seems far too neatly constructed. On the plus side, it neatly fits on the 50mm base.
Pigapult (detail)
My favorite use of the Pigapult so far has been for a sudden tactical retreat forwards. My front line was invaded by McMourning, and Ophelia was already loaded up on Poison. So I activated the Pigapult and evacuated Ophelia and some friends the heck outta there.
