From PaulS: Brimstone showdown (30 Points)

It has been a few weeks since I had a chance to paint anything, thanks to being away with work so much, so it was nice to get back home and have a chance to put paint to model for once. I also need to get back into the swing of things as I appear to have dropped from the top ten to 25th!! I'd considered taking some away with me, but b&b rooms tend not to be the best for setting up a painting table :/

These two are from the Shadows of Brimstone kickstarter that arrived just before I went away and are a lot better than those in the first figures delivered. The robot is called the Guardian and comes from the ancient city on the Targa Plateau. Quite a surprise for the characters you start with, who are cowboys.

 The second figure is a Terralisk, a sand burrowing creature from the Blasted Wastes. As the name implies, the landscape is a barren wasteland world full of all sorts of alien gribblies. There are some smaller ones with legs still sat in the drawer of sprues.

The interesting thing to note is that these are... quite large. The 28mm priest is just for scale, he was completed just before the challenge started.

but these are only classed as XL monsters. There are XXL monsters still to come ;)

Points wise, I'm not sure... probably small vehicles?

Great to have you back Paul! These two beasties are very imposing and you've done a terrific job on them. I like how you put a bit of rust and corrosion on the robot's carapace-like shoulders suggesting he's been sitting dormant in the sand until recently disturbed. I also think you've done a great effect with the eyes and toungue of the sandworm. I can't imagine facing off against these two with only six-shooters in hand, but I guess that's why they call them heroes in the game!

As you suggest, we'll count these as 28mm vehicles for points. So, 30 more pips for you to start your climb back up the roster.
