Tiik baron 77212 gold fish from hell

[viking_hank 2226]

table top mini from the big box of minis. I had a hard time figuring out what color I wanted to do on this guy. finally chose colors that would make him look like a giant gold fish from hell. I think I should have gone with a better contrasting eye color, it sort of blends in. all in all a fun mini to paint. sorry about the crap photos still trying to learn what works there. this is one of the minis I want to get in metal after painting it in bones. awesome sculpt but lost some detail. I got rid of the trident and added a spear.  the original weapon was bent beyond repair, I thought, then I realized it was just the position of the leg that made it seem hopeless. the replacement spear bent also. LOL

The color works well for this mini.

That's what you get from flushing a goldfish into chemically contaminated waters...

 

Very nice!

my wife said about the same thing. I am trying to talk myself out of cutting the lure/probe off of his head. seems like a bad thing to have if you get into a fight with someone waving a sword around.

Like the colour on that...I think I may have to get myself one and copy your colour scheme.

He does look vivid and mutated.

 

It feels like opinion is divided fifty-fifty about that lure thingie on his head.  I think it's a good thing that he is Bones and it is easy to remove -- and I think a fish-man with a lure is better than without because it is harder to add one than to cut one off.
