Fun With Gremlins

So there are times when I get some energy and a burst of inspiration, during which I've slowly got work done on my Gremlin conversions. As a reminder, these pics are not the best as I am still working out the set-up for photo shoots and these were just quick shots anyway.

First off, I recently updated the Dimitri Benois page with the started conversion, but I'll throw up the shot just for this post. Still lots of work to do green stuff wise, but that will be for another time.

Also mentioned in said article was the Boozer character of Maurice. Well, work has started on him, using a Hog Whisperer model as the base and head, with the fist arms from a Bayou Gremlin I had (honestly, I rarely use more then one or two, so I could spare a model for use). I am mixing and matching parts of the two models, with the Banjonista hat to round him off. Still some wire (I use as rope) and green stuff work to go, but liking him so far.

Of Course, the Hog Whisperer comes with a Piglet model and after going over all my Gremlin books from the RPG game, I felt like one would make a good companion for Maurice. I'd imagine him getting one as a prize or reward and at first thinking about making it into a meal, before it got into his booze and got drunk. Finding it hilarious, Maurice would keep it, call her Wilma and she would not only carry his brewing materials, but be his drinking partner (most likely leading to some humorous moments, but probably also causing some trouble too). An Empire bottle and two of a three pack Space Marine pouch was also used (the third pouch is on Maurice) with a sort of green stuff pack saddle.

Finally, having looked over the Broken Promises upgrades for Jacob Lynch in which if you kill an opponent who has the Brilliance condition (within a short range of Jacob or Hungering Darkness), you can discard two cards to summon a The Depleted model (who takes damage and gets the Slow condition) where the enemy was. Given I usually play Gremlins and that I had some Gremlin parts and Illuminated/Depleted parts left over, I decided to convert a simple Gremlin Depleted (tentacle arms). Not overly great (a chance to repaint its crappy paint job though), but it's silly and I love it.

Also, as a side note, I am working on both Big Jake for my Outcasts and the female Thalarian Queller for The Wild Ones crew (her look just seems to match the theme I'm going for) along with these miniatures.
