Danger…

 … Will Robinson? Wait, wrong robot, it’s actually this robot called Danger that I’ve painted:

I think my first exposure to the character was actually pulling this mini out of a heroclix booster (as I ended up buying a bunch for cheap from the Works when the game first went away) and my first thought was that… she looked a bit dumb. Then many years later, I read more comics and my X-Men fandom increased, and I thought… well, that she was still pretty dumb, to be fair. It’s the danger room, but walking around in a robot body? Then I read X-Club by Simon Spurrier, and honestly Danger’s still kind of dumb but in a way that I’m actually also fairly fond of…

She’s generally portrayed as being a metal frame around some glowy internal bits, like this:

So I went at her with the only pot of contrast paint that I own, to sort of sink into the recesses, and also make a quick and easy glow effect. This was fairly quick and effective, and is the main reason that she is the first ‘goodie’ that I’ve finished for my X-Men project rather than one of the more iconic characters!

As well as finishing her, I also nipped into GW with my wife to grab the new mini of the month:

As a Death Korps Engineer can definitely find a home in an inq28 warband!

So, no great change to the Tally, which now stands at: 

5 vs 24 = -19

With six days to go until Salute…
