SPACEFUTURE: 62107, Numenera Aeon Priest; converted Gith Monk; Imperials Group Shot

[Rigel]

If anyone looks qualified to declaim the Litany of ZAREK into an Omnicrophone from atop a golden hover-chariot, it is surely 62107, the Aeon Priest from Reaper's Numenera line. Look at this robed and jowled hierophant!

I feel like I should put more patterning on the robe, besides the Eye of Marduk. Any suggestions? 


There was also a Githzerai Monk I got in a grab-bag some years back and never used. A quick repaint and a pair of chainmail rings later, and hey presto! an Imperial assassin. 



And here's the landing party in total. If they need to conquer a *second* planet in the same day, they might ask for backup. 



(A lot of alien worlds look like the southern California Desert; this is well-known.)

Love the metallic green!

Great group of invaders!

[Rigel]

Thanks! I've used a lot of metallics in this spacefuture series, but noticed I hadn't done any green or gold yet. (Don't compare their weapons to corn-on-the-cob; that's the sort of remark that gets your planet vaporized.)

Magnificent!

I'll say it again - you have a way of finding the perfect figures and really creative color schemes that work for you themes! Always a pleasure to see - and you're so prolific!

Thank you! It's an addiction, but a fun one.  These guys are meant to evoke two parts sword-and-planet paperback covers, one part Assyrian and other Ancient Near East cultures, and one part En Sabah Nur/Apocalypse. 

And I'd been painting for a while before joining the forums, so much of my output is more the illusion of productivity...but these ones I did turn out in about a week 's time from getting them to posting! They are all painter-friendly sculpts; none of the Pathfindery buckle-and-strap overload.
