Mythic Battles: Pantheon - Echidna's Children: Teumessian Fox

I’ve gotten the first of the three monstrous models in this set from the Mythic Battles: Pantheon box done this week for this year’s Monster March Painting Challenge being run by Swordmaster over at Path of an Outcast.

While googling for images of Foxes, I found several featuring some striking looking foxes with black and orange marnings rather than the typical orange and white.

While I didn’t copy them completely, as I felt there would have been too much black, they did influence how I painted the fox, giving it a slightly unique (and for me, interesting) look.

I have to say, I do with we had more fox-based models in the hobby rather than everything being based on wolves. I might just have to take matters into my own hands in future and paint some wolf models in more of a fox-like scheme when appropriate, especially when the wolves are on the smaller side as at this point I’ve got heaps of both giant and normal-sized painted wolf models. Once again, Chainsaw Girl Berkeley steps up to provide us with model scale (and another trophy for her wall, no doubt!)

Zombicide 1st Edition: Male Zombie Fatties

Here’s my second-last post of models completed in February – the other half of the Zombicide 1st Edition Fatties to go alongside the female fatties that I painted for Fembruary. Quite the bunch of ugly bastards! As you can easily notice, there’s not a whole lot of variety in the sculpts here – just the one monopose sculpt for all the male Fatties! Luckily, their repeated tradie outfit offered a lot more flexibility in the way it could be painted compared to the females (without going into stuff like dress patterns that was more effort than I was willing to do). So four types of overalls/coveralls and a variety of singlets, gloves and boots!

I decided not to bother going too far with designs on their singlets (why do Americans call them “wife-beaters”?) …you know what, don’t answer that. I don’t wanna know. Anyway, I gave one a classic Aussie blue-collar logo and two others got easter eggs from a very old decal sheet. You can kinda see here the sweat stains I added to the white singlets around the pits and manboobs, though the spatter adds a lot of visual noise there!

I also really didn’t want to go so far as to add ink to these guys, but that many bare arms on tradies just looked completely wrong. I mean, this being 2020, a good half of the female fatties would be just as inked up, but they can pass more easily than these ones. So I did another pass before completing them and added what I think of as “impression” tattoos. Mostly faint, squiggly lines that give the impression of detailed tattoos without being too painful to paint on. It’s not like you can really see what most people have on their skin from more than a couple of metres away anyway, amirite?

And here we are – at long last, all of the Fatties from my Original Zombicide set complete. Now I guess I need to start on working through all of the walkers and runners (and the special walkers and runners). That’s going to be…. a. lot. of. fun.
