AT-43 Operation Frostbite

This week I was working on the three figures that came with Rackham's AT-43 Operation Frostbite expansion. These were originally pre-painted models and I've pretty much copied those colour schemes except for the female character where I was asked to paint her coat blue instead of orange. Fun to do and turned out quite well I reckon. The pre-paints weren't great but the models underneath are pretty good, much like the other AT-43 figures I've painted in the past.

  1. Brill work once again, crisp and clean!

    Reminds me I've always wanted to run Call of Cthulthu / The Thing based RPG adventure for my former players group.

    1. Never thought of using them for something like that. Perfect explorer types. Not that they're my models though.

    2. Initially I was hoping to assemble group of models based on Foundry (?) sculpts - there's whole range of Arctica explorers from about XIX 20's.
      But since there're no RPG players here anymore... =(

    3. I do recall seeing some Foundry explorer types. I think Copplestone did his own too and there might be a nice snow crawler vehicle in the range as well. Any chance you could do a tabletop game with a RPG angle?

    4. Copplestone, that's it!

      As for the game - definitely!
      I remember we once tried to use minis for battle part of "Steel angels" CoC adventure (the one in the desert with dark young and armored cars) - it was great fun.

      Whole rules thing was more narrative than standard wargaming, it's just to make players know exactly what's going on...
      ...and where's rampaging dark young at the moment ;-)

  2. Love how the minis really stand out after you work your magic on them.

    1. Thanks, it's quite satisfying taking a less than thrilling pre-paint job and making something of a model.
