I know, I know, this one's a little out of left field.
I picked up this figure when we were visiting Paris quite a few years ago - back when the Confrontation range of miniatures was fresh out of the gates and turning heads with their groundbreaking sculpts. I really like the dynamic pose of this guy (and ever since I was a kid I've had a soft spot for werewolves as they typically scare the bejeezus out of me).
A while back I played in a friend's RPG campaign and I made up a character just so I could use this figure. His name was 'Hēl' and I remember he was pretty bad ass (until he met a rather unpleasant and sticky end).
As reality often reflects fiction, he was smashed to smithereens in a recent house relocation by our movers, and at the time I just couldn't face trying to repair him. Nonetheless, time truly heals all as I came across him just the other week, the muse hit, and so here he is, reconstituted in all his weird snaggletooth glory. (I have to apologize as I neglected to take some before-and-after pics to show his reanimation.)
Back to some Napoleonics in a few days...
Damn! That is AWESOME!?
ReplyDeleteThanks Tim! I still really like many of the Confrontation sculpts. Some would argue that they've been eclipsed by some of the newer manufacturers but I think they still have some really cool stuff.
DeleteThat gives me warm nostalgic glow. Conf was my first post-GW game. I've still got stacks of Orcs, Drunes and random other minisI picked up because they were cool sculpts.
ReplyDeleteI have some others squirrelled away as well - I'm going to have to do some excavation to see what I have.
DeleteVery nice and flowing sculpt, with a great paint job. Glad you could bring yourself to repair it and shame no before and after shots. Maybe when you move again? ;-)

Indeed!! Always look ahead...
DeleteWonderful job Curt! I too am partial to our lycanthropic brethren and will probably be getting the boxed set for EotD some shortly-ish...
ReplyDeleteVery cool. I look forward to seeing those.
DeleteReally wonderful, Curt. I also have this model (because I love Confrontation´s miniatures), with many others of this range.
ReplyDeleteThanks Juan. Somehow I'm not surprised that you'd have some of the Confrontation range. You'll have to put some up on your blog!
DeleteThat's some mighty fine painting you have done there Curt!

Cheers mate! I'm looking forward to seeing more of your FIW stuff. I think I may give it a go if I can find a good skirmish set of rules.
DeleteOh my goodness, that is seriously well done; great job Curt.
ReplyDeleteThanks very much Michael! Its a little out of my comfort zone but I still like doing these from time to time.
DeleteFantastic painting Curt - lovely job on the flesh, particularly the tattoo.
ReplyDeletebtw - you are one of my 5 "Liebster Blog Award" nominees :)
Thanks Tamsin, that is very kind of you - I'm honoured that you considered my blog for nomination.
DeleteWow dude - looks flawless. That mini is now officially a hard core veteran model...
ReplyDeleteYup, and he'd be the first to get with a S10 AP1 weapon...
