Comedian

Comedian is my final painted Watchman, and gives me my fifth painted playable crew (after Poison Ivy, Black Mask, Court of Owls and recently starting Joker). After painting the main base colour I found the rest of the mini a bit of a plod to finish, doing a bit each day, but not feeling I was getting much progress, especially once I had blocked in the browns. But I accept I am far from the world's speediest painter, and the most important thing is it is now done. :)

Comedian is my 27th painted BMG mini this year, and take me to 58 painted characters for the game. At the current rate of release I will always struggle to keep pace, but it is such a favourite IP of mine that I will continue to collect them!

I have yet to use the Watchmen, but on  considering stats alone Comedian looks like one of its most important fighters, with a mix of ranged and close combat Traits. I think I will need quite a few games to get a feel for them, and against as wide a variety of opposing crew styles as possible. Comedian looks pretty tough with End 9 and Hardened, but only Def 3; he seems something of a jack of all trades without mastering a a particular aspect. Consequently, I am going to have to learn how durable he really is and how best to use him.

  3. Lovely work PulpCitizen. I especially like the finer detail work on his shoulder and facial expression.

    1. Thanks Simon. :)

      I think Ozymandias probably came out the best, or Rorshach, but overall I am pleased with Comedian and the whole crew. :)

  5. Poison Ivy...Black Mask...Court of Owls...and now Watchmen.

    You really do know how to pick them. You have a keen eye for the power lists. :D

    No wonder Joker is on the agenda. ;)

    Comedian looks ace, as ever.

    Happy new year!

      Yes, I seem to be a magnet for certain kinds of crews! Joker will make a pleasant change I think! :)

  6. Finishing a project in the last moments before the year ends. I can't think of a better way to conclude the year with.

    As for the miniature, your paintjob is wonderful, the face looks just like the comicbook character. Only the pose strikes me as a bit ODD as he seems to be leaning backwards a lot.

    Happy New Year!
    I hope to see a lot more new projects in 2017.

    1. Thanks Wouter. :)

      Yes, I am very happy to have finished the project which is cool. :)

      I think the photograph has a slight Dutch angle to it it (unintentional; the base is tilted/angled off level if you look closely), so his lean looks more pronounced than it is. :)
