Mayday! Mayday! Is there a doctor in the house?

 So, in between my laser focus in painting Skaven and making scenery for my year-long zombie campaign, I’ve recently dug this mini out of the painting queue to finish:

It’s Heresy’s version of John Hurt’s War Doctor, and I think it might be Andy Foster’s best sculpt, the likeness is just brilliant. I didn’t paint it his eyes, as I liked the grumpy squinty scowl he has going on…

To get myself prepped for painting him, I listened to the audiobook ‘The Innocent’, which I think I got as a freebie when we went into lockdown, and I highly recommend, even if only to spend an hour of your life going ‘wow, John Hurt really as brilliant wasn’t he?’.

One lesson from painting this mini - I really need to make sure I pin everything! Apparently I didn’t pin his hand when I built him (way back in the mists of time when he was originally available), as I discovered when he took a tumble off my painting tile and there was a horrible five minutes when I couldn’t find his missing hand - thankfully my wife was able to spot it, and I was able to glue it back on!

Finishing him brings the Tally to:

12 vs 41 = -29
