No one knows the origins of the fearsome Land Shark. There
are those who maintain that the vile supervillain is a mutant, while others
claim he is the embodiment of a hunger spirit, or even a were-shark. One thing
is certain: there are few opponents more vicious or deadly in a fight.
The Land Shark is no evil master mind- he is content to hire
out his particular talents to the highest bidder. He seems unmoved by remorse
or compassion- caring only when and where his next meal is.
As well as typical
feral abilities- enhanced speed, strength and reflexes- Land Shark has
demonstrated an uncanny knack of sensing his prey’s weaknesses. He has also
shown that he is all but impossible to kill. He can recover from even the most
life threatening injuries in just a few hours so long as he can feed on fresh
meet- the fresher the better!
I have been conscious that the blog has had a distinct
lack of ‘Four Colour’ superheroes this year. This is largely because my paining
time has been split between my modern African stuff and my Kiss Kiss Bang Bang
project. This has been compounded by a lack of cash, which has restricted my
ability to buy more miniatures. I love the Reaper Chronoscope and Pulp City but
the minis are expensive, and when it comes down to buying a single mini for £6
for a blister pack of 4 Africans for the same price it becomes hard to justify the
expense.
This mini has been kicking around in a ‘to do’ pile since my old mucka
Leon (Pulp Citizen) gave me it- he doesn't like minis with integral bases. I dusted it off and
based it on a resin base by Fenris Games. I have no idea who made it, but it’s characterful
enough to fit in with my Four Colour Supers campaign.
Welcome back to the super side! I buy my Reaper figures discount at Miniature Giant on average, here in the US shippping is free over $25, they give you a code for a free $2.50 off (a free mini pretty much or a discount on a larger one) plus they discount up to 26%. Not sure how international shippping is, but it is the best price. What is cool is you can give them the email of another member of miniature giant and you both get credit for the other's purchases and get bonus bucks to spend on product.
ReplyDeleteSometimes you find a good deal on Amazon but you have to watch the shipping also.
Nicely done mate. Now the feeling about cash this year. Sold nearly all my 40K stuff to fund my Empire of the Dead project
