I’ve finished another pair of the Death May Die Investigators now – so I’ve caught up on last month’s missed models and have now completed a pair for July. The first is the Mad Monk himself, Grigori Yefimovich Rasputin, who – let’s face it – fits in pretty well with a Cthulhu game. In the character bio it talks about how he was captured and experimented on/tortured, with the result being his legendarily hard-to-kill constutution. Despite my misgivings about the technique generally, I did apply some subtle OSL to the model and it’s turned out okay without discolouring the rest of the effort painting him too badly.

The other model in this post is Margarethe Richter, a “paleoanthropologist and celebrity chef” from Munich, Germany. Because, well, why not, I guess? Margarethe is one of those minis that really didn’t excite me at all when it came ot the prospect of painting her based on either the artwork or the model, but I’m actually really happy with the completed model. Grigori’s not too bad, either. With both models I pretty much followed the overall artwork for the colours and “feel” and I’m pretty happy with the results on both. Just six more of these now. Will I manage to finish any more in June? I hope so, but no promises…
