There's no way he's intended for 28 or even 35mm games. Add a head of height or so to the eisenkern guy and you're at the taller batman figures. Still barely to his waist. Sometimes he IS freaking huge, but it's usually general mass and not height.

Kings of war Giant though... totally works

Although I think Hulk does sometimes get bigger when he's like... superdupermegapissed... but that's still pretty large

@vik, in that picture he is just tacked together with putty, so no hands falling off, but the joins will need some greenstuff.
@Grimdork, I though he got bigger as he absorbed damage, but I didn't think it would be this much bigger , but I was never a hulk fan. except Lou Ferrigno.

I cannot resist. Well, I can, but I don't want to...


I do not know why that is a meme with the Hulk.

I think 35mm ( the Batman minis are 35mm) is 1/44 or 1/43 scale? So an 8 foot tall hulk is about 57mm tall ( 2 1/4 inches) That mini looks much taller.

The whole mm variant of scaling miniatures is obnoxious anyway as in some cases it may be open to debate as to whether the company declaring 28 or 32 or 35 mm is talking about xx mm to the eyes, or to the top of the average (non feather/plume) head.

Because a lot of 28mm scale figures are actually 32-35mm tall if you measure them to the top of their helmets.

Hulk should be head and possibly shoulders taller than his peers. His peers are *maybe* a head taller than that Eisenkern dude.

That hulk looks like he's scaled for the old Inquisitor game

@Red, Looks like hulk had too much fiber.
@Grimdork, the Eisenkern are even larger than GW, I think they are 32mm, but I get your point.

This hulk body really is screaming to be turned into a demon prince. Talk about infused with power. I could see him becoming a demon prince of Khorne really easy as they care little about armor, and he could just rip the skulls off of people's spines.

You would want one large shoulder pad. Some chains. A big honking axe...

Could totally work.

Speaking of pads, I assembled the twenty stormtroopers and primed them. But I forgot to attach their shoulder pads
That's what happens when your tired and assembling models at 2 am.

I just had a look and thats the 70mm Hulk.

This is the 35mm version.



I didn't think he was that big

Thanks Giraffex. Now I feel even better about the buy at $20 since it would be $75 at full retail. Now I may have to buy a copy of Dr. Doom that they have as he would normally be $55.00. Not sure what they had them priced at.

Taking the twins to volleyball game this morning instead of church . All three are taking volleyball and floor hockey and Sarah is taking yoga and dance as well. Unfortunately volleyball games were scheduled on Sunday morning , there's a lot of parents who are upset with that schedule so they didn't sign up. We told the kids that they can take volleyball but they will only play in one game. The twins chose the first game, Sarah chose the last game. The coaches are upset because they won't have full teams because our kids won't be there, but that's the break for scheduling during church times.

All twenty stormtroopers have a base coat of bone on them. Might get some time today to do some painting, but probably not too much. Played Zombicide for a few hours yesterday, addiction.....thy name is Zombicide.

Scheduling woes suck.

Even if you don't consider church, who wants to do sports on sunday morning?

Well volleyball was good, and then got some painting happened a bit.
Here's a sample of the kneepads.

And got guns done and the facemasks under

that scheme takes my fancy...looks grim...and mean...these can pack a punch now!

as for the schedules...that sounds like a lame excuse to have these things on sunday...especially for you US peeps...as you are way ore into church or Sabbath than us Europeans ...

and you have a doom? wanna see^^

I do not have a doom...yet. But miniaturemarket had a couple of these sitting on the shelf.

Wish I knew before hand how good a deal these were I would have sent one your way with the bits.

Edit: they primer on the stormtroopers was too heavy to try and correct with paint, lost far too many details. I have posted over in the painting challenge thread a request to switch to a secondary project. Re painting a dreamforge leviathan mortis. He was going to be in iron warrior colors originally, but now will be in a modified Totenkopf color scheme for when I resurrect (strip) these figures. Here's the photo of how he looked before. I did paint it's skull already before posting this as I was going to try and do this alongside the troopers as a special add on to my challenge.

Some painting on big stompy occurred today.

German gray for the majority of the body panels. The exposed spine and pelvis area are bone colored. I did the hydraulic casings in a coat of bone, but I'm thinking of switching it over to an accent color, possibly yellow.

The chest emblem spot I'm considering doing in gunmetal with some sort of crest on it, but open to suggestions.

Fancy. Gonna be killer when he's done.

I like your revised scheme for the Eisenkern. I assume you're going to keep it when you redo the guys whose basecoats went on too thick.

On that Mortis (which is also looking good), are those tbe stock hip joints, or did you replace them with Kotobukiya ball joints?

@Barzam, THose are the stock joints. THe model goes together like a gundam model, at least the few I've put together over the years. The bone color scheme is what I will most likely be doing for the troopers. the Mortis is getting basically a reversed scheme.
@ Grimdork, he better be a killer when he's done. I dislike people who wear skulls and all black and can't kill a fly

Got some of the metals done on the torso. Now I just need to find his legs and decide on guns. Off to school, hopefully not a marathon event like 2 weeks ago.



Picked up a copy of the Batman game for half price at miniaturemarket today. $27.50 could not be passed up. I did leave a perfectly good box of sputniks there where the outer cover of the box had been sliced when they opened the shipping box.

Painting continues on my new pledge for the competition. I kept the hazard stripes, hope that's alright. Posing still in progress. Since its "don't tell me the odds", what do you think the odds of the knight slipping when it goes to stomp a rhino are???

LOL...the banana slipped idea is the comic classic absolute^^
i like that idea actually better than having a titan battling it out with Z´s...

Thanks Vik
I may have to dig up some fishing line or something to give it more of an action pose for the final picture.

Well what would a day be without Theo going to miniaturemarket and buying something.....the world may never know . I've been eyeballing this for a while and I think Para painted some of one of the other factions recently and I know Dave (God rest his soul) had bought some of a couple other factions, but I never heard how the game was.

Mercs faction 9 FCC. I guess that's what they are called as that's all that's written on the box. It's been sitting on the shelf for a couple months at $30. When I went to look at it today they had dropped it down to $10 from the original $60. So I couldn't let it sit. Hopefully they scale well with infinity, but they look a little tiny to me. I'll unpack them later. Right now I've got a lawn to mow, a tree to kill and a dishwasher to remove.

You picket fences Americans seem to me always mowing the poor lawn...
And here killing trees can under certain circumstances be a capital offense...
The fishing line idea, assuming you want to create swishing movement lines as you get them in comic books, is a cool idea!
The pic ain't working...but the price is so good in relation I couldn't have refused too...

Oh and Dave is alive, he's playing gamed via steam, I see him playing... big brother is seeing everything...muahahaha...

Ah the Gruen Party. Lovely folks, them. There is a place near me-- Takoma Park-- that prides itself on its "Urban Forest" and one must jump through all manner of hoops to get a permit to remove a tree. Utterly ridiculous.

You need to put a squished Space Marine between that foot and the Rhino. Or even better, Two squished space marines.

http://www.miniaturemarket.com/catalog/product/view/id/24967/s/mma704/

link to the Mercs box. Normally 64.99, Theo special $10.00. THey've been assembled and are now primed and drying.

THe grass survives another day it's hot outside and 1.5 hours of trimming trees has me worn out. I took a night off from the hospital to have a date night with the wife and friends from church. Another local church is hosting a "Fight Night", a series on how to fight with your spouse "the correct way" . Well it's dinner and time with the wife and no kids. THey are going to a hot air balloon glow tonight here in Saint Louis. Just after dark all the balloons hit their burners and light up their balloons and it's always a really good event. It's in preparation for tomorrows great balloon race, not all the way around the world, just far enough for the sky to be filled with all sorts of beautiful colors. Dozens of balloons scheduled for the event and then fireworks afterwards, they should have a great time.

Tomorrow morning is also the annual Affton city parade. Every year they put on a great parade down the street that our driveway exits onto, so we just walk out into our lawn, set up some chairs and the kids get full bags of candy from all the vehicles that drive by. Local schools have their marching bands, my oldest will be in the parade this year with her schools dance team, so it will just be the twins, my wife and myself on the sideline. I think I've posted some pictures of previous years parades as there is a local gun store that has military trucks in the parade complete with MA Dueces (working ones ) on the pivots, and also shriner cars . They have always had WWII Vetrans riding in Dealership cars with magnetic signs on the side saying "vetran of the battle of the bulge" or "Normandy" or other historic battles, unfortunately the numbers have been decreasing over the years due to age. THere was also a great little gimmick they had two years ago with a motorized trashcan on wheels. basically i think they just took a Segway and put it inside a trash can, but the person inside dressed up as Oscar the grouch , it was for the local recycling center and was a big hit.

@red, One of the local towns near us is the state "tree capital" they are in constant competition with other municipalities to retain that title. Basically they take pride in having more trees per household than other communities . My area it doesn't matter, but this apple tree hasn't produced so the bible says it's time to cut it down. Don't believe me......look it up

i want to see that passage where it can be read to chop down apple trees!!!
also, that balloon warming up sounds like a verrry romantic thing...i bet my wife would be all pudding in my hands if i could come up with that^^
and that parade sounds like a coo event too...even without the net gain of candy^^...
also...i think the mercs minis will be right for infinity scale minis...

and red... right on the money, the grünen started it, now everyone collects and separates their trash and cuddles with trees here

also...from my knowledge...Berlin is the city on the planet with the most bridges and most tree ratio per inhabitant... greenest city there is^^

Sounds like a nice weekend lined up.

@Vik, Matthew 7:19

Man...it is a bit spooky to realize the big book has so many answers to offer...

Well got to at least check out the results of the primer this morning. Much better than what happened with the dreamforge guys, still a little heavy though.

Wait what's that in the background????

"HULK NO LIKE COMPETITION IN PAINTING QUE!!! HULK SMASH!!!"

Obviously he's just blocked in currently, hopefully he'll calm down and get painted further later.

Great time last night for all involved. The marriage conference was great, kids had fun at the balloon glow, and we had a blast after the conference with dinner out with our friends.

Now to a busy morning and long night.

Glad to hear it

Those MERCS look good, especially for that price

Hulk is also looking stellar, may just be base colors but you got them spot on.

That's one very smashing Hulk
