Mr. Grin (white) & Mr. Grin (black)

The 'Grin Twins' (as Knight seemingly call them) are taken from the recent Suicide Squad movie where they were briefly seen as part of Joker's gang. Like other Joker Henchmen from the film, they are considered Elite: Cosplayers, meaning only Jared Leto Joker can take more than one of them.

I have recently struggled for painting motivation, so with a simple colour scheme, the Grins fit the bill for something to paint to get a quick turnaround. Painting two at the same time obviously sped things up, and I was able to finish them by painting for 20 or 30 minutes here and there over a few days.

Although I am planning a Joker crew, I am not planning on using the Grins anytime soon, but if I change my mind at least they will be ready.

Painting these two BMG minis takes me past 60 minis for the year which is pretty satisfying, and I hope to match or exceed last year's 63 in total.

BMG Painting Summary
BMG characters owned: 253 (added: a LOT - Suicide Game box/15 minis, Captain Cold, Heatwave, Rick Flag, Bird and Mercs, Mr. Freeze crew box, Calendar Man)
Percentage of owned characters painted: 22.1% (56 models)

    Nicely done. I know what you mean about them not getting used. They don't have the most friendly rules.

      Thanks Kieron. :)

      Yeah, just a bit underwhelmed by them, and basically limited to one Leader only, which is a shame as they are intended to work as a pair and would otherwise be useful for a swarm list of cheap Henchmen.

    I like the black and white scheme, it's like they are from an old movie.

      Thanks. :)

      I just followed the original colour scheme, although the ties should have been a bit darker in hindsight. :)

    Lovely stuff, PulpCitizen. You've packed both of these models with plenty of menace and w/o knowing the rules of the game, I would certainly being paying them some attention if they were across the tabletop from my forces.

    Love the way you paint the colour black as you very well know. Both were very nicely done.

      Thanks very much for the kind words FourEyedMonster. :)

      A main 'colour' I am comfortable with made these a quick win which is always nice. :)
