Tanuki

Outside of the closed ranks of the Jade Cult, Tanuki’s origin is veiled in secrecy, and even within that terrible society few know the truth. One of the Jade Cult's mysterious spirit-oni’s, Tanuki is probably the least loyal of that kind, even if ultimately he is the only one that recognizes that fact.

My third of a planned four Super-November minis, Tanuki has been a long time in coming, although not so long in painting!

I started this just after the launch of this shared challenge with Rob, and the bulk has been painted in the past few days. I found it quite an enjoyable mini to paint, with nice areas and textures to work on. That said, with my new job (I say new; been in post two months), I do not get much day-time to paint in, so Tanuki has mostly been painted at night, which has played havoc with the dark greens, so if anything looks a bit ropy, I blame the lighting! Ahem...

This is the first Pulp City mini for my own collection for quite some time. In game-play Tanuki is very much a Support Supreme, there to help his Team-mates through his unique Actions; he certainly has his own little niche, and is quite unlike any of the other Jade Cult.

With the Terror Cotta Warriors and Green Emperor on the horizon Jade Cult is near to be able to field a sizable Team.

I do think this is a really fun mini, and one I probably enjoyed painting and that I am happier with than any other this year.

I have veered away from my usual Villain colour motif (good old purple!), but hey, the Team is called the Jade Cult after all!

Next up for Super-November? Well that would be telling...

Welcome

Back to back 'welcome' posts; something I have not had for a while!

This time the hearty 'welcome to the Pulp Citizen' is extended to gaarew, author of a couple of blogs (Just Add Brown Ink... and 15mil of Fame) and proprietor of Studio gaarew. I have signed up to both blogs and particularly hope Just Add Brown Ink... becomes active again. Thanks again gaarew.

On other news, my next minis for Super-November are underway. Also don't forget the Doc Cosmos competitions I have running: link here.

And finally, once again, please hop on over to Tales of a Tabletop Skirmisher to check out Paint the City Pink; a brilliant endeavour for a great cause.

Welcome

Welcome aboard to rousell68, the latest follower of the blog. Glad to have you! rousell68 has the Don't Throw a 1 blog, which has dipped its toe into the proverbial supers waters, with takes on Power Girl, Dr. Strange and the Spectre, so I will be watching with interest.

Thanks again for signing up.

On Pulp City news; I am working on my next mini which is going to be very yellow as the main colour theme. I have also started blocking out base colours on the one after that - dark grey and dark green. Any ideas what they will be?

Further out, working with Maciej and Devon we continue to develop the next iteration of the Pulp City rules ahead of the open beta  phase - more details when we get closer to that.

Super November Week 2

See the Eclectic Gentleman Tabletop Gamer for this week's entry in more detail.

But don't worry, next week's entry should be a Pulp City mini!

Harrier (Paint The City Pink)

Okay, Super-November (title subject to change based on better suggestions) is underway for Rob and me; one mini per week as a minimum deadline for the month.

So what to paint first? Well for me it was a case of finishing my contribution to Hendybadger's Paint The City Pink initiative. Harrier is now done and will be headed to Hendybadger pretty soon I hope, with just some varnish needed.

This is the second Harrier (first is here) I have painted and I think it is a nicely sculpted mini, and even though one of the earlier Pulp City sculpts, still a strong concept in my opinion. Finishing the mini was eventually quite nice as I enjoy painting flesh tone like this more and more these days, finding it more straightforwards than I used to.

Sorry that the pictures are a bit grainy - I think I placed the mini much further back than usual when setting up, but sine i needed to post to hit the deadline, I am stuck with the pictures as taken.

I implore readers to look at Hendybadger's Paint The City Pink initiative, and to try and support it if they can - it is in a very good cause.

As for Super-November? Well I have three more minis in various stages of painting and one other in the 'would like to get done' queue. Stay tuned...

Doc Cosmos Contest 3

The third chance to win a Doc Cosmos mini.

What if he is not really Doc Cosmos? 

Choose a name and write a background (400 words or less) for a super that you think fits the mini; the one deemed to be the most original and most fitting (a tough combo) wins. And by original I mean without infringing someone else's copyright!

If no-one enters, another Contest 1 prize will be drawn.
