I don’t care, I’m still free /
You can’t take the sky from me:
Or more specifically, you can’t take the sky from Captain Tim Reynolds, ‘ex’- Browncoat, who found himself on the losing side of a war but still isn’t convinced that it was necessarily the wrong side.
As I’ve alluded to, my Stargrave by way of Firefly game is going to be inspired by rather than a direct recreation of Firefly and Serenity, and so we have a Captain called Tim, spiritual successor to a beloved Necromancer, leader of a rag-tag band of misfits and ne’erdowells that I’ll talk about more as soon as I get round to painting them.
He’s a Heresy mini that I’ve had tucked away for at least a decade, and possible even two, so happy to finally get some paint on him. The painting process was a little fraught, with a few things going wrong like going far too heavy on highlights on the face and then having to try and knock it back with glazes, but as always, there comes a point where done is done and he’s definitely good enough to see some table time!
I also painted the back, because this is no catalogue shoot - I wanted his brown coat to look absolutely battered, as if it’s literally been through a war - I might have gone a bit heavy handed and had the weathering end up too light, but as always, he’ll look fine at arms length on the table.
Finishing him brings the Tally to:
3 vs 2 = +1
Next: more crew of the spaceship… wait, I haven’t chosen a name yet! More crew, and a name hopefully then for the next post…
