Hordes: IronBack Spitter!

I know I said I would swear off painting minis for skirmish or other miniatures battle games for at least a week, but then the Ironback Spitter showed up at Phantom, and I had to work on it!

I've blasted PP in the past for bizarre mold-making decisions that lead to hellish assemblies. The Spitter suffers from no such issues. For a Heavy Warbeast, it goes together quite well. I would even dare say that it's design is ingenious.

Anyway, I went with my version of the studio paint job--I thought about working some green in, but I ended up happy with where the paints took me, and the basing ties him to the rest of the force.













And here are a couple of comp shots for scale ref:





Look for more RPG minis this weekend!

Thanks for checking out the blog!

  2. Really nice paint job, Scott, but that thing looks like a cross between a Willem DeKooning painting and Witchie-pooh from HR Puffinstuff.
