These diggers. They will go anywhere if there's even just a sniff of something ancient, something unknown. But what they can't smell is danger. And all their books and degrees and doodads can't do squat when they're facing down a grox or a salvage pirate. Fact is, they'd be dead ten times over if it wasn't for me.
Titus N. Thomas is a cargo loader and general rousabout aboard the small cargo freighter The Seeker's Wish. For almost a decade now, the ship has been contracted to Convocation of Archeo Explorators, a society of reliquarists, xeno-archaeologists and archeotech hunters. Once the ship hits the ground, Titus acts as security for the party of explorers.
Titus is a simple build - bits from the wonderful genestealer cultist box, with a suitably grumpy head from the Celestial Hurricanum kit. Sorry for the murky photos! Here he is going point for another party of explorators. Who knows what awaits them this time?
Fantastic painting - really wonderful figures.
ReplyDeleteThanks! They're all interesting figures, so it's fun to see them 'come to life' as the paint goes on.
DeleteHe looks great Preacher & a nice little back story, you off to a good start.
ReplyDeleteCheers Frank, glad you like him.
DeleteI love the concept and the resulting figure! I'll watch this project with extreme interest :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! I'm hoping it'll produce some diverse models and terrain, and it should be fun along the way. Some months could be a little stressful if I've got nothing suitable to start with, but we'll wait and see!
DeleteHahaha is that a stick of dynamite?? Very nice work :)
ReplyDeleteYes, he grabs some from the expedition supplies just in case! The piece is a standard bit from the genestealer acolytes kit, which is a fantastic box!
DeleteI like it! The brown palette is really effective here.
ReplyDeleteThanks, it does work well. Not really my idea though. I should have mentioned it in the post: I was heavily inspired by Whiskey Priest: http://theleadpile.blogspot.com.au/2016/12/a-couple-of-weeks-ago-i-got-me-self-box.html
DeleteGreat looking build, paint and I always enjoy a narrative particularly. Those soft academics need a hard man to show them about :) .
ReplyDeleteThanks! I do need to work at the narrative backgrounds for my characters: it really gives depth to the games. And yes, gruff man for the soft academics is the exact idea here!
DeleteIt's a great paint job. The muted palette is offset by the brighter details, like the blue tubing on the collar. It's a great looking mini.
ReplyDeleteThanks Major. As I said to Suber, it's not really my concept, but it does work very well!
DeleteQuite good, and it certainly showcases the versatility of that cultist box! Wish that GW made chaos and imperial cult boxes too... maybe someday.
ReplyDeleteYes, it's quite interesting to see so many different figures popping up on different blogs. And now you mention it, if the chaos cultists had been true multipart kits, that would be fantastic!
