Another painting tangent today, one that chronologically followed my Marvel Zombicide models in terms of when I painted and finished these two, and in a big way the painting connection is pretty obvious – while painting a bunch of bystanders in civilian clothing it’s not a huge leap to paint some Cthulhu investigators also in civilian clothing.

I do want to get back to sprinking in at least a couple of Death May Die miniatures into my paint queue each month, and unfortunately the pair of monsters I was working on didn’t get finished, mostly due to a lack of inspiration from the models and a desire to keep on painting my way through all these humans.

The first of this pair is Veronique, a fixer of problems from Brockton, Massachusetts. The second figure is Olmstead, a corrupt cop from Providence. They’re both from the CMON Comics Vol.2 set, which arrived right as I was getitng to the point of completing the Season 1 and 2 Investigators – and was actually pretty off-putting rather than a “yay” moment. I missed the Vol.1 set as I hadn’t purchased or played DMD at the time, and so saw little point in purchasing it. Now with Asmodee having taken over the game, there’s actually a possibility of a reissue.

I did choose to paint these two because of the similar palette, thoiugh in the end, aside from sharing some of the mid-highlight colours in the mixes, the rest of their paints were entirely separate, even most of the “yellow” tones.
