The latest bonus round for the painting challenge is Casualties. I had originally intended to paint up some of the dead skaven that were given away with pre-orders of Mordheim (way back in the dim distant past when GW did nice things), but as I also had to create something for the challenge fee based upon a Sam Peckinpah film. Now this was a bit of an additional challenge as I've not seen any of his films (yet), so I had to go do some research on the topic area. Most people seem to have gone with cowboys, but when I came across the poster for Cross of Iron I knew I had the answer to all my problems.
Now, I've not actually seen the film, so I've no idea which character (if any) this is supposed to be on the poster, but it seemed to fit the bill as a casualty as well if I could recreate it.
Lots of cutting and hacking apart of Bolt Action plastics and a touch of greenstuff later, we have our entry.
