Marauder Minis...making a start.

Even though I own a number of the more recent plastic figures from classics like Space Hulk and Bloodbowl, I still consider the Marauder minis to be the best characters of the genre. I particularly like the dwarves and ogres and I own almost all of these that were produced..but still have some gaps that I hope to fill. So first up, I thought I would post one of my all time favourites...never mind the mismatched hands; this is one of their best. The severed head behind the sword tip is an interesting detail and the 'Empire' style lends itself to some nice colour combinations.

I picked him up in this state...no golden demon winner here...but a bad paint job still protects the figure!


And after a repaint...NMM is still a challenge but there was plenty to practice on here.
