It was a nice change of pace for me painting Chibi figures and ATOE Heroes but my real passion will always be for painting the undead and those who fight them. There are a lot of drool-worthy figures in the Chronoscope range.Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-19856491702559091622015-04-20T00:21:06.144+01:002015-04-20T00:21:06.144+01:00Great selection of figures Bryan!

Indeed I'd be tempted to plonk him onto one of the thin-lipped bases and use him as an objective marker in some way - perhaps as someone you have escort or reach in order to buy ammo etc?

He's very tall (indeed, I almost considered not using him for that reason), so I'm thinking that the other figures here are all quite big as well?

They paint up surprisingly well in spite of my initial misgivings but the bases are very thick compared to metal - you have hidden them very well.

Good on you, Steve, for going against the flow.<br /><br />Bonnie and Berkeley were two of the survivors I sent you, Steve. I already had metal versions of these two. When my Reaper Bones package arrived they were part of the deal and thus surplus to my requirements. Steve told me he much prefers plastic figures to metal figures and so I was happy to send my plastic versions to a good home.<br /><br />Reaper is a great source for so many kinds of figures, both in metal and plastic. I'm looking to buy a lot more myself.Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-81363027793422800502015-04-18T22:56:27.686+01:002015-04-18T22:56:27.686+01:00I'm with you 100%, Ray.I'm with you 100%, Ray.Vampifanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11318241813130102121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8423998700545338590.post-73047934487568949872015-04-18T20:34:10.367+01:002015-04-18T20:34:10.367+01:00Reaper has produced a surprising number of survivo...Reaper has produced a surprising number of survivor figures in the past few years you should browse their website to see all the Cronoscope figures Bryan there is a lot to like.

Can`t WAIT to paint mine, which incidentally, will be sometime next week. This is one of the minis you gifted me isn't she Bryan?<br /><br />The Afro hair-do guy is so cool.

I probably wouldn't have bought Deputy Wayne separately but seeing as he was part of my Bones package I had no choice in the matter. Horace is so full of cool. No disrespect meant but I'm kind of betting you'll glue Denver to a 30mm diameter base to avoid that overhanging foot. :)<br /><br />Don't worry about missing my Chibis - they'll be back soon.

Though I'm rather underwhelmed by the deputy sheriff tbh. The others look great though, and your paint-job on Horace is cracking. I must confess though I do, for some reason, like Denver the most, so I'll be putting him and Horace on my 'look-out' list for Salute. Delighted to see you back on your zombies, though I do miss the odd bit of chibi-ness ;-) Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.com
