From TeemuL: Barrel at Piper's Peak (35 points)

"I thought we got off from this bloody Island already!"
"What nightmare is this? And THAT?"


"We planned to have a nice pique-nique around that barrel of Bunnahabhain, but it seems to have other ideas. A fit of pique? Or is it taking a peek on that cheeky airline stewardess."


So, we are travelling on the Challenge Island again. This is something for Piper's Peak. It is a barrel mimic by Toad King Castings. I had never heard of the company until I got my monthly miniature mystery box from Your Model Box couple of months ago. They seem to create all kinds of nice and strange miniatures.


This one goes on my W list for being a wacky idea, which I got on the last moments on the Challenge X. I will score this as a single 28mm miniature. Noel had very nice idea of lists as well, I might join him, since most likely I'll be squirreling through this Challenge. There is not that much need to paint any miniature, since there won't be any games, so I can paint what I like.

U: 0 (total 3)
N: 0 (total 1)
W: 1 (total 1)
Points:
5 points for the miniature
30 bonus points for the Challenge Island Location
35 points total (total 50)

From Minion Teemu:
I really like how you achieved such a good looking tongue for that barrel just using a single layer of contrast paint. And in general, that barrel looks exactly like all the barrels I have finished on the following morning...

  2. That is a great looking multi-eyed demonic barrel, Teemu. Also, nice bit of self-minioning as well. ;P

    1. Yeah, I thought the posts just didn't look right, so I did my best to make it look right. :)

    1. Yeah, they have some pretty nice miniatures. Naturally, at the moment, lots of the stuff is sold out.
