Some more additions to the Penguin Crew in the shape of 'Ice Penguin' with his sawn off shotgun and 'Savage Penguin' with his mini uzi. I have also plucked up the courage to revisit 'Penguin Emperor' and had a go at fixing his broken electric baton using some beading wire, it is now fairly flexible so shouldn't snap off at the slightest touch.
These were by far the easiest 'Knight Models' that I have had to assemble to date with a sensible number of composite parts to deal with. A little pinning and the liberal application of the ubiquitous greenstuff and they were ready for paint. It seemed an obvious decision to mirror my previous crew members with regards to colours and camouflage trousers and taking a lead from the talented Simon Quinton, of 'Brummie's Wargaming Blog' fame, I used in the same purple for 'Penguin Emperor's' body armour as I used for the Penguin's waistcoat, unifying the group.
Progress is currently being made on two more members of the crew and a more sinister henchman, Sickle, along with a couple more flights of fancy; hopefully more updates soon!
Great job!
ReplyDeleteThank you Luca.
DeleteGreat job! The camo pants are very well done. Gotta love your rocket penguins. Crack me up every time I see them :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, as for the penguins they are still a firm favourite of mine too.
DeleteVery nice painting as always Michael. :)
ReplyDeleteIs it just me, or does the Penguin Emperor look as though he's a very awkward dancer at a rave? ;)
Thank you Tamsin and I know exactly what you mean, he just needs a whistle round his neck and some florescent paint!
DeleteWell, he's got a glow-stick ;)
DeleteI'm never going to see him in the same way again! :D
DeleteLovely work Michael. I do like the thug with the shotgun, just the right amount of menace!
ReplyDeleteHe is wonderful, but not sure how accurate that thing is?
DeleteExcellent work!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much András.
DeleteNicely painted Michael. The camo is a great piece of work
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Roy, I am just pleased that I have been able to recreate it.
DeleteThose look excellent. I've previously not been keen on the Penguin gang, but pictures like these are making me warm up to them.
ReplyDeleteThank you Kieron, I am not sure how they will stack up against the Batman, but they will hopefully look the part.
DeleteFantastic brushwork Michael!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Rodger.
DeleteCracking job!
ReplyDeleteThat is very kind of you Gordon, thank you.
DeleteLovely work Sir M!
ReplyDeleteThank you my good man.
DeleteThey really are jolly nicely painted
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Clint.
DeleteMy 'not getting a gang for Batman' resolve is failing fast! I'm going to blame you when/if I crack :S
ReplyDeleteI do apologise Mike, but be warned they become rather addictive when you start! ;)
DeleteLovely job Sir Michael! The camo is superb.
ReplyDeleteThank you Bob, it is a bit of a labour of love, but I've enjoyed doing it.
DeleteWhoa! Fantastic!
ReplyDeleteThank you Jay, I have to say that I am rather enjoying doing them.
DeleteGreat looking crew for your great rendition of Penguin
ReplyDeleteThank you Joe, it is starting to come together.
DeleteThey look great Michael.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Terry.
DeleteReally like how these guys are coming together. I can't wait to see them in games!
ReplyDeleteFMB
Thank you, looking forward to a couple of game days so with a bit of luck they will get a run out.
DeleteWow, that cammo work is outstanding!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Herbert, having decided on it early on I have rather made a rod for my own back and need to carry it through.
DeleteGreat figures and great painting!
ReplyDeleteThank you very much Cyrus.
DeleteWho needs thugs when you have rocket penguins? Pengie likes to cover all the bases, I guess.
ReplyDeleteGreat painting, Michael.
Thank you Mr. Finch, I believe that the Criminal Mastermind handbook states that you must always have sufficient henchmen to put between you and the law enforcement officers to last a good five minutes of fisticuffs!
DeleteExcellent work Michael. The crew is shaping up very nicely. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you, I am hoping to have the final few done in the next couple of weeks.
Deletebuen trabajo si señor
ReplyDeleteThank you so much J.D.
DeleteSuperb brushwork as always, Michael. The camo gives an appropriate icy feel.
ReplyDeleteThank you Dean, it just seemed to fit nicely with what I was trying to achieve with the group.
DeleteFine job, the "arctic" camo is a masterpiece! Congratulations! :D
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, once I worked out how to do it the process became relatively straightforward.
DeleteGreat camo and basing!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much Cory.
DeletePurple and orange works well. The camo adds enough of what I call 'busy detail' to make things even more interesting.
ReplyDeleteI have to confess that I was unsure about the colour combination, but it does seem to convey a cartoon villain felling, which of course is helpful.
DeleteAs always wonderful work, Michael.
ReplyDeleteThose guys are looking like they jumped out of Gotham City right now.
Thank you Stefan, as fun as they are to do I am starting to wonder where this project might end.
DeleteI got to say that I am really impressed with the overall look you have achieved. They are looking fantastic and you have really captured a sense of fun as well. I think you will enjoy playing them. It will give you a story to bind them together. Cool work sir!!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much and they have been great fun to do, now where is this Batman?
DeleteExcellent job Michael. They are the next to thugs on my two do list. Just painting up the Axe and Chain thug set. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you Simon, I quite fancy that last group myself.
DeleteI find when you are only painting two or three figures at a time rather than say a unit of between ten and twenty figures, I think you end up putting more time and effort into your work, and with yours it really shows. Master class painting Michal, a fantastic collection.
ReplyDeleteThank you Pat, I think you are absolutely right, of course by painting so few at a time it does me I stand a chance of actually finishing them.
DeleteReally, really awesome! Your Penguin posse definitely is a real corker.
