Rolling Thunder is a 1980's arcade game, maybe you remember it? All of the enemies wear hoods and their uniform color schemes tell you their attack behavior.
I painted these models with hoods in red, yellow, brown leather, and one in a dirty off-white cloth. These hoods can be interpreted as different orders and/or ranks among the enemies. I will be using these models as "Cultists" in Rangers of Shadow Deep : Ghost Stone and "Temple Guardians" in all of the other missions.

These models are from the Frostgrave Cultists box and are 28mm multi-part models. I combined this with the Frostgrave Knights kit to achieve more diverse two handed weapon options and to pose one of the archers differently.
I built 16 of the 20 models (maybe I will need a special configuration in a later game?). These are:
- 2 with spear (works as 2 handed or 1 handed weapon model)
- 2 with maul (2 handed)
- 1 with flail
- 2 with two-handed axe
- 1 captain (sword and shield)
- 3 with misc one handed weapons (2 dual wield)
- 3 archers (bow, quiver, and hand weapon on belt)
- 2 with crossbow (quiver, and hand weapon on belt)
I'm preparing for the RoSD Temple of Madness mission and I also re-based and painted up a Minotaur as "Greviks, Man-Beast" (figure from Games Workshop classic Warhammer Quest (1995)).
