The next bunch of Malcor miniatures, or ‘Phase Green’ as I
call it.
Glass Spiders: The Decanters of Death! Drinks trolleys with
attitude. The globes are supposed to be filled with acid. However I’ve no idea
how to paint realistic-looking liquid and envy those who can. So in the end I
just picked up my brushes and splodged the paint on here and there.
Mantodeus: Giant insects that pounce on the unwary from
their nests. This model was an absolute b*st*rd to put together, with more
drilling, pinning and gluing than I’d happily apply to one mini. As a result I
painted this with little enthusiasm, sticking to a basic all-over green.
Acrisbird: Terror birds from the tropics. I initially went
for a black and white colour scheme on this model, but the end result looked
like a very annoyed turkey, so I went back and, considering that green seems to
be the overarching theme of this batch, went over the black bits with dark
green. Now it looks like an very annoyed parrot!
