Andy Moore Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 Feral George (Onumo, Hippoxus Warrior) Mierce Miniatures This chap was finished a couple of days ago, and he'll wrap up my builds for this year. As was the case in 2017, I've only managed this one bit of figure modelling this year and, also like last year, he's from Mierce miniatures, who are by far my favourite producer of gaming figures. Officially, he's Onumo, a Hippoxux warrior of the Byzantii army, but I like to think of him as George, everyone's favourite camp pink hippo, who's clearly really let himself go since his Rainbow days. Technically, he's 28mm scale, but he's a fairly big chap and stands approximately 3 inches high. The base is a lump of insulation foam, carved to shape, and covered with Vallejo texture paste and some Citadel crackle paint. George alongside 2017's Walvax Warrior, who can be seen here, and 2016's Gurrir, who is lurking here Thanks for looking Andy 19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colin Posted December 26, 2018 Share Posted December 26, 2018 I'd be happy just doing one kit a year if I could reach that standard 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Natter Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Brilliant paintwork - this year's biggest understatement. If I were Bungle or Zippy I'd be starting to get worried about now! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The quality of their figures really is first class. Local too (to you and me) as they're based in Nottinghamshire. Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iwik Posted January 10, 2019 Share Posted January 10, 2019 Hi Andy! Well, AND you can paint miniatures too!!! George looks mad at something... I love the smooth transition in the pinky paint. Very subtle. Nice. Ciao IWik PS Ever done "historical" figures? Or SW? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks iwik, Never done any historical figures, but I'd like to do some at some point. No small scale SW either, only the 1/12 Bandai stuff.
