operation MotU: the Snake Men

-

after several months of taking a break from painting my MotU figures i was watching a few
episodes of the 2002 Masters of the Universe series and i got a little inspiration to continue
Operation MotU.

i asked my good friend Doctor Merkury (go visit his blog page, Doctor Merkury's Lab),
which faction should i do next and he suggested Snake Men,
so here we are.

there were some miniatures i was sort of intimidated by painting and some i was just not
fond of how they were sculpted and such.
but i think they came out fairly well i tried to stick to the color schemes of either the
original toys.

King Hiss, in human form and snake form.

Snake Face and Lady Slither.

Rattlor.

Fang-Or and Tung Lashor.
when i went to paint Tung Lashor i tried to duplicate the markings the MotU Origins
action figure has.


Sssqueeze.
the miniature had the arms sculpted down to the base so i bent the arms upwards which
meant i had to replace the hands since they would have broken off with spare
Warhammer Skaven hands.


Snake Troopers.

Tyrantisaurus Rex,
and his gun.

more to come...

    Great work on all, and well done on completing another faction, the converted arms look like they were original sculpt, so work perfectly.

      thank you very much.
      got two more and can't decide which one to do next...Hordak and the Evil Horde or She-Ra and the Great Rebellion.

      She-Ra will probably be the harder of the two, so may be better to get that one out of the way first.

    Those look fun, and nicely painted.
    I don't really know much about MotU, but some of those would make good Yuan-ti

aliens and demons

ever since the new year i have been tracking the amount of figures i have painted, and i'm kinda curious what the number will look like come the end of this year. i've been wanting to get a few games in but haven't had the time unfortunately. recently i got some hellhounds from Next Level Miniatures, these were good for the price and some cleaning up had to be done but overall nice figures. there was a large three-headed hellhound i had to get. i had to use some green stuff to fix some miscasting around the heads of the large hound. hopefully soon i can unleash these onto my D&D group. some evil sorcerers summoning a great hound of hell. finally got around painting some aliens from CMON's Zombicide: Invader boardgame. sadly i didn't get into the game as i thought i would, but i held on to the miniatures from it to use in other tabletop games. i have many more sitting around in a box which i might paint different colors as time goes on or if i need certain aliens...

Red Butchers for Space Hulk

The Red Butchers were a specialized shock-assault unit of the World Eaters Legion during the Horus Heresy. These ferocious warriors were the precursor of the Khornate Berserkers of the later Age of the Imperium. The psycho-sugery inflicted upon the Red Butchers by the so-called Butcher's Nails  cybernetic implants hammered into their skulls and the awakening taint within the World Eaters Legion combined to create a superhuman killing machine without reason or restraint. The Red Butchers were controlled only through the use of brutal shock implants and the prison of their specially constructed Terminator Armour into which they had been fused by the legion's Techmarines. In between battles the Red Butchers were hung in chains in the holds of the World Eaters' warships, foaming and screaming in impotent rage, until such time that they were released once again against the Loyalist forces of the Imperium or upon the innocent.   the Red Butcher Terminators a...
