After painting the Marble Aquila last week, I figured that I should really paint the statue that came with it before I forget how to do it. The weather is a bit cheery and upbeat for the grimdarkness of the subject, but as we dont get clear skies here that often I decided to take an outdoor shot anyway.

“Steeljaw” the yellow psychic space cat (gyrinx) above is todays new model. It was sitting 90% complete on my painting table for the last year or so. I finally got inspired to add some stripes and finish its pelt last week while I had some off white on the palette. That makes four of the little space scamps that I have painted to date (including Mister Darcy, my DreadBall Offensive Coach who I forgot to picture here for some reason).
I should hopefully have some more substantial figures finished over the next few days, but ill health is scuppering my schedule at the moment. Ho hum.

Ordo Hereticus Inquisitor Jodorowsky
I have been promising myself time to paint this steampunk looking Van Helsing-a-like for years, but I couldnt come up with a plan for a colour scheme. Then, all of a sudden, 1970s Mexican surrealist exploration of Western esotericism sprang to the rescue! Continue reading

Notorious G.I.T. and posse (note the slugga).
I finished painting Notorious G.I.T. (centre) and another cool looking gretchin-of-the-line (far right) the other day.
The duo barely warrant their own post to themselves really, although I do really like that plastic gretchin kit (its simple to assemble cool little characterful models that are great fun to paint) and I do try to record everything hobby related here.
Seeing as the G.I.T. (“Gitty”/”Giddy” to his friends) has a magnetised triumvirate of firearms, I figured that I might display that feature if nothing else.
Slugga swapped for implausibly huge shotgun…
Originally the box of plastic gretchin was intended to be suitable for use as Rebel Grots in GorkaMorka games. As such I wanted to make one of the models stand out as the boss, so I made sure that he wore some huge jewellery and wore a baseball cap.
Gold Left Front Tooth
I then magnetised the little guys right fist and a corresponding slugga, shoota and kannon.
…and finally an old 1980s (maybe early 90s) plastic shoota/bolter for some retro chic.
I have since bought many more gretchin models, more than enough to cover a differently armed mob leader in games, but its sort of fun having the silly magnetised guy anyway.
The G.I.T. has yet to see any action, but I am sure that when he does he will leave an impression.
