Front and center is the Count himself, flanked by his wife the Countess (red coat, fur hat and falcon) and his daughter Yolanda (in fencing gear). Behind them is bodyguard Misha (white sweatshirt and sailor's cap) and lurking in the background is Secret Policeman Blotsky.
The red and white color scheme wasn't really intentional; white for Yolanda's fencing gear was obvious, and Blotsky's coat was done red because he reminded me of Telly Savalas' Cossack captain in the 1972 film HORROR EXPRESS. It's well worth a watch (Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing are the main leads) and it's super weird seeing Telly Savalas with a cigar in his mouth instead of Kojak's usual lollipop. Misha I had originally intended to have a striped sweatshirt but keeping the lines straight became such a headache that I finally gave up and gave him a solid-color shirt.
This bunch will hopefully be seeing some action on the table soon using Wiley Games' Fistful of Lead rules.
Nice painting Bill.
ReplyDeleteWonderful! These look superb Bill. Just finished painting some Pulp Miniatures myself and they really are a lot of fun to work with.
