Cult of the golden Sun

I am trying to mix terrain build projects with a bit of painting just to keep things interesting for me.  After all the garages last week I decided to paint a few more Artizan pulp figures, this time some hooded cultists.  I feel that cultist are a mainstream of pulp adventures providing minions for the villains of the story.
First up is a jailer, and a not too conscientious one at that as he has his hood up in order to smoke a cigar.  You can tell he is the jailer as he carries a set of large keys in his hand.



This time the figure is hooded and carrying a pistol.  A very useful type of grunt.  These are simple figures without a huge amount of unnecessary detail and so quite straightforward to paint.

 This last one of the group is unarmed so maybe a little bit new to the 'kidnapping helpless females and sacrifice them to an unknown god' line of work.

 A group shot of the cult membership so far.  I have another three part painted at the moment and they will probably join the ranks at some point next week.

On a different note, I received notification that my figures from the 'war and empire' kickstarter have been posted and I am eagerly awaiting their arrival.  Hopefully they will not join the pile of unpainted figures from my other two figure kickstarters......
That's all for this post, have a good few days :)

      Thank you - not a very difficult paint job though. Simple is fun sometimes :)

      I thought the white would be good for in the desert and I haven't used purple for a little while!

    Unusual but very effective colour scheme on these guys, very nicely done.

      Thanks Zabadak. I do like Artizan figures. I was thinking of going for a red and purple scheme but thought it might be too much.

    As Zaba-daba-doooo - sorry! - I mean Zabadak said, it's a good contrasting scheme, effective and looks good

    Is the motif on the chest sculpted onto the figure or is that all your own work?

      Thank you. The chest motif is a plain disc. I just painted it gold. I think I should have tried something more challenging but I think I bottled it a bit!

      Thanks Vampifan. I have another 3 but have the feeling I will need a few more than that. Something else to put on my shopping list....

    Cracking little group of cultists, CM. Lots of lovely character which your first-rate paint-job has really helped bring out. Wonderful stuff :-)

      Thank you:) I agree that they are great figures and I think they turned out all right. The others are part way through and should be finished over the weekend to be shown next week at some point.
