Anti—Fascist Choir Practice

I’ve finally finished my first batch of Arschlöcher cultists!

I had hoped to get rather a lot more of them done by now, but my doctor made some changes to my medication six weeks or so ago, and it left me in a state not particularly conducive to painting toy soldiers. Starting to feel more myself again this week, so hopeful that I can pick up the pace over the next few weeks. I’ve got 30 or so of these guys to get though, and I’d like to get them ready for playing with this summer.

I’m really quite happy with how they’ve come out. I’m particularly pleased with the ‘gun blue’ metal colour I’ve worked out for the rifles – not as boring as flat black, and not as cartoony as chainmail silver.

My only hold up going forward is that I want to work through the rainbow for the colours of the cultist’s hoods, but I cannot decide which end of the rainbow should be for the senior Arschlöchers and which end the junior initiates. Anyone got any thoughts on the matter?

First up on the painting table for this project: a cult of Arschlöchers in fancy dress.

The miniatures are Brethren of the Papal Purgator Battalions from Khurasan Miniatures “Little Carinthia 15mm 1930s Eldritch Horror” range, which are lovely models.

The plan is to go for off-white dresses and a full rainbow of different coloured hoods.
