Aaaaaaaaaaaaand...TAG...again!

Evening gaming folk,

Just as the title says...time for some more TAG...a little smaller installment this time, but definitely a continuation of the blisters that I posted a while back, here.  The paint schemes on these guys was much more 'traditional' than the last batch, but, still a lot of fun.

I wanted enough variance so that each of these figures stood out...and at the same time...a little less dramatic than the Joker.  In the end, somewhat inspired by the movie Sicario...not the whiny FBI characters (movies biggest Con...IMHO)...but instead, the Brolin led mix of kicking ass DEA/CIA/Tier 1's/Contractors (I do like it when Josh Brolin kicks ass...).

At the same time, the figs also gave me the opportunity to try out a few paint schemes at a larger scale.  For Stetson Bill, I thought I'd try my hand at painting OCP cam to see if I could replicate my success and happiness with the paint scheme that I had at 15mm...

-Khurasan Minis, Devgru figure...pretty happy with how it turned out-

 

Stetson Bill - olive drab shirt, OCP camo pants, desert yellow/Iraqi sand tactical vest, and of course a kick ass Stetson...

I'm very happy with how Bill turned out...and really, I've never met a DEA type, but in my brain, this is him...

 

Shotgun Brolin - bush cap wearing, shotgun sporting, Rhodesian (I hope I pulled it off) bush shorts stepping laid back kicking ass Government Operative - I do have an alternate version of this figure painted a few years back that I painted up as wearing white and red polkadotted boxing shorts...made me laugh and laugh...

I had never tried my hand at Rhodesian bush cam before...looking at the results...I'm not sure I've tried it yet...in many ways reminded me of trying splinter cam on German Fallschirmjagers.  Anyway, I tried my own interpretation of it...and at a larger scale.

While I'm not sure if I nailed the Rhodesian part...I am very happy with how this figure turned out.

 

Leather Del Toro - this figure presented me with a bunch of challenges.  First, I didn't want to just replicate the painting schemes of the other figures...second, I had already tried a good variance of schemes amongst the previous 7 figures...third, the figure had some pretty brutal scoring and I think some flash, on the left side of his face...

So...with that I thought lets try something different...one challenge I have is trying to match facial tones to the character I'm trying to portray.  The last thing I want is some comical oompa loompa looking halloween abomination that is horribly inaccurate (at best) or just down right f'ing ignorant (AT WORST)...

 

With Leather del Toro, I hope I've been able to do some justice to the skin tones...I really liked the idea of the leather coat...not sure why, but it just feels so counter-olive drab combat shirt that it looks awesome...really hard-assed without having to Brolin it...
