Greetings Terrans, how goes it? I’ve been working to get more paint time in lately & have been making good progress on some Chaos reinforcements for my Nurgle warband, but I did propel this one guy to the front of the queue last week:
This is ‘Robo Knopf’, the Dire Straights themed mini that Mikko printed out for us all to commemorate the Stargrave weekend. He’s a really characterful sculpt that fits right in with the Stargrave vibe, so I painted him in the same lime green with red/cream chequered accent that I used for my Stargrave warband:
.
Here he is with ‘Dark Knopfler’, the event mini from last year:
Thanks Mikko, a lovely mini to represent a superb weekend!!
Looking forward to seeing what mini & pun you come up with next year :-)
Leadballoony - It's a lead thing 
Your colour scheme works really well on this great looking sculpt Alex. Will you be adding him into your warband, or keeping it as a display piece ?
Thanks mate, turned out nice eh? He won’t be joining the crew though, Bob Olley sculpts only in there 😉
If that’s the last of your Stargrave minis (sniff!)….then you went out with a bang! Cheers! :)
Cheers mate, yeah it probably is my last SG mini – it’s a nice enough game but it doesn’t get me excited enough to go and do more with it 🫤
Very nicely painted. What’s the link to Mark Knopfler and Dire Straits? I can’t really recall what the musician looked like but I think it would stick in the mind if he looked like that!
Cheers mate! No real link this year, but last year we played Ghost Archipelago & named the weekend ‘Dire Straights’ – a pun that was vaguely nautical but also referenced a band that suited our average age. Dark Knopfler was made as a nod to that & Mikko just rolled with it this year 😁
That’s quite a lovely take, I love the palette and how you approached the face and all. Cool!
Cheers dude, he’s a nice bit of fun 😊
