That was an awfully big Marine
Blowing the dust off and getting my excuses in early
This is Captain Artemis of the Deathwatch. He’s the old, old 54mm mini for Inquistior, rather than the 28mm released a couple of years ago. I’ve had him a long time, and our own Gerry/Avernos had him a long time before that. He’s challenged me to finish this as a spring clean challenge, so let’s do it!
Artemis is a cracking mini but never got finished I have a couple of excuses: I hated the base I put him on, and I was a bit intimidated painting anything on this scale. I’ll replace the base and … well just get on with it.
I never liked the 40mm base – it looked like he’d toppled over at the slightest provocation. I’ll put on a “GW” type base but I think at 60mm. It’ll hold up his bulk (he’s a big chonky boi as I believe the kids say) and it’s not a bad scaling up for the 32mm base his little brother uses.
I had this miniature before I sold it. I found it was very good, but the legs were a bit thin for the size of the miniature.
Nonetheless, I’d like to see what you do with it.
His proportions are a little different, it’s true. I’m a big fan of his though.
