Lightning Jack

After focusing on terrain for the last few days I got back into the Requiem miniatures.  I have been looking forward to Lightning Jack as his art work in the book is cool and it looks like he has some pretty cool attributes from the PDF rules that have been created for him recently.  I tried to stick to the colours in the book in painting him up:

Is there no where to get a drink round here?

Oh I see...

Ale?  Never heard of it

That ain't Jim Beam
There doesn't seem to be any historical basis for Jack.  If one google searches Lightning Jack, all one gets is some bad Paul Hogan film from 1994 - figure he isn't based on that character.  Looking forward to him joining my darkfire club in time.

    Awesome work Dan. Pity he is into jB. I am nearly finished my first two policemen with guns, just got to paint the cobblestone bases.

    Great job he looks fab! Can't wait to get hold of the PDF later this week. I've been reading about spring heeled jack lately and its got me thinking of doing my own version of him.

      Sounds like an interesting character. I guess he would have spring powered shoes and maybe the steam cannon but call it, err I can't think of anything creative, but use it for his fire spewing. Although that's because I prefer easy conversions. Just use something similar and give it a different name rather than work out stats and cost.

    Fantastic figure! Oh, yeah Spring-heeled Jack also spewed fire from his mouth!
