Mark Copplestone - Chaos Warriors

Mark Copplestone has made some of my favourite sculpts over the years. His poses almost always throw great silhouettes, have a great blend of gravitas and dynamism and are always a pleasure to paint. 

 

Folorn Hope - 28mm Miniatures - Scavengers, Wreckers and Savages - Sculpted by Mark Copplestone

These miniatures were so much more enjoyable to paint than that last lot. Copplestone has such character to his stuff and I'm grateful that it's a: still so readily available and b: cheap! 

There's a large emphasis of post-apocalyptic/frontier aesthetics to Five Parsecs, at least in it's published form, that make characters like this ideally suited. I kept the paintjobs into two fairly defined groups, but part of the appeal will be to throw everythin together as it suits me.
