A quick update with the newest addition to my pirate crew, a rather tattooed individual of rather grubby origins.
Tattoos!
He's originally one of the old plastic Goliaths from Necromunda who I've had sitting around since the mid 90's but painted rather bright blue. Now he represents one of Midas Blackstar's more loathsome crew.
Addicted to Slaught and Frenzon, not to mention Steroids and whatever unholy cocktail of knock off combat drugs he can get hold of, Darrien Thorne is a degenerate thug so brutal that he was thrown out of one of Necromunda's most violent street gangs, the Goliaths.
Bereft of the protection that being in one of the powerful gangs brings, and the run from the law, Darrien found himself joining the first crew of ne'er do wells who were shipping off world. In the ensuing years, Thorne has drifted from ship to ship, never far from criminal enterprise. Along the way his addiction has seen his body, already over muscled, balloon to a caricature of a human but the punishing regime of steroids, body surgery and pumping iron has given him incredible strength, a feature much appreciated by his new employer, Midas Blackstar.
The miniature itself is pretty shapeless, with ridiculously over muscled arms and no neck but he fits in rather nicely with my rather homely pirate crew quite well and he is also one of the few figures from my original collection that I still own so has a fair amount of nostalgic history to him too.
All the best!
Haha, that guy looks like a total psycho. The pink makes it absolutely great.
ReplyDeleteNice tattoo's. He looks quite like the steroid monkey you describe.
ReplyDeleteWell done!
I really like what you've done with the fig. Great tattoo's as noted above. I think it's hard to make these plastics look very good, but you've managed it.
