The tears in her stockings are just painted on.
-
Been a while (again 🙄). I have been playing and painting Infinity again, which meant less Malifaux. But with the open beta, I'm looking to get back in. To start, a few models that were already mostly done that I finished up: Unsure if I'll even use Bete Noire, as she seems so belong to Seamus now, and I have no intention of playing him...
-
@Butch You're right. Didn't even think about it though, because I do all my Malifaux bases basically the same to match (most of) my terrain and each other, since there is so much overlap between factions/crews. So basepainting is kind of automatic for me now 🙂
-
And the master done. Really happy with how she turned out 😊
-
And the next part of that box: Corpse Candles.
-
And Vincent St. Clair. Quite a boring model really 😅 (Also: not the best of pictures...)
-
Second GG from the Lucius box done. Again,, tried to differentiate her from her twin by changing shirt- and hair-colour and leaving her the longer coat. Also, Amina Naidu! SImple Model, but really fun to paint. Tried an new skin tone for her, mixing Beastly Brown and Cavalry Brown as a basecoat and highlighting by mixing in Elf Flesh.
-
Started painting (slooowly) my brothers crossroads seven and also finished another Guild Guard (I think he's from my brothers Lucius box). Gave him a sabre instead of his second gun and differently colored pants and shirt to differentiate him from his twin.
-
Since Femme Fatale is done, I can also show the Master for that Crew, which I entered into the contest.
-
I don't think that with the emphasis on streamlinig and making the game easier to grasp comes even more rules text on the back of the cards...
-
Or, they just could keep the old card size and spare everyone the hassle 🙂
-
Propably not easy, since their width:height ratio is different, so just scaling them down results in a card much too narrow or streched wide - at least if you want to fit them in your existing sleeves.
-
Cautiously excited for this. I loose Guild McMourning (well Dufresne really), but oh well. But I'm really not liking the new format for stat cards. Cards take up a lot of place on the table already, and with the slightly reduced stats and streamlined abilities and triggers etc. I don't see why the new cards need to be bigger. The artwork is mostly unnecessary, unless you have multiples of a model in a crew and they have distinct artwork (so not like Guild Hounds e.g., who have only two images cropped and mirrorer (I think) on four cards) to tell them apart at a glance. And even that works with the smaller art on the old format. So, not looking forward to having to buy new sleeves, Deckboxes etc for no reason I can discern 😞
-
One thing I found to make it easier (this assumes you paint them before the rest of the face) is not to try to get the shape right using the white/off-white but to use black to close in on the right shape from the outside basically, i.e. basecoat the eye-area black (thinned down!), blob white or off white in there and then use black again to define the eyes and then paint the pupils.
-
A few beasties as test subjects for the good Dr. Dufresne: The Raptors are GW Razorflock Somethings from the Dark Eldar that I got for cheap. And since I wanted to add a few Academics too, and with my Metal Gamin and the Raptors and Hoarcat Pride already had a few Arcanists, I bought Ironsides Box and started painting it:
-
W: Lady J crewbox, Executioners, Thralls, Sonia etc. H: Misc &€

I have a single Queller and Thrall each spare... (also located in Germany btw) -
Shieldbearer and Dead Doxy for my ressers, Mr Graves for my brothers Neverborn done:
-
Got Vanessa painted and tried some OSL on her again - reasonably happy with how it turned out. Just used several layers of glazes.
-
Thanks ^^ Finished the Viktorias crew with the henchman and master: (photos are a bit dark)
-
Finished Ronins #2 and #3, now working on the Viks. I tried giving the Ronin in green coloured hair on the tips of her braids - overall, I like the result. Plus, Dr. Dufresne (the alt-McMourning) who I had photographed a while ago but somehow never shared the picture. I only recently used her in Guild and found her suprisingly fun and will play her again - maybe I'll even get some beasts and academics...
-
@Piccio Mhm. That might be my photography skills. I use (old) GW Elf Flesh glazed with GW Dwarf Flesh and a Foundry Dark Skin Tone, all of wich have a very reddish hue, highlighted up with Elf Flesh and Bone Withe (mixe into the EF). The Bone White has none, but is used pure only on the very highest of highlights (tip of the nose etc.). Maybe the pictures lack contrast... Perditas skin is actually done with my older recipe and is using a second darker glaze instead of the Foundry Dark Skin, wich is actually more pastelly-brown than red. But both have relatively little yellow in the mixtures. I think Miss Deed and Allison Dade are closest to the real deal in their pictures, and the student has the same colouring.
-
Love the small conversions and the basework on the Stiched, great work!
-
@Piccio What do you mean with "unreal"? The students skintone is the same as on all non-undead, non-Big Jake models...
-
First Ronin finished! I like how the red turned out, but I'm afraid I didn't do a very good job on the eyes this time around. Built the mini before painting, and that made her face hard to reach with a brush, and impossible to reach from the sides - and apparently I need access from the sid eto paint the eyes well. At least she is the only mini in that set where that is the case.
-
Three minis for three factions done. First, the Carrion Effigy for the Ressers: He has the (up to now) most "build up" base I have done for Malifaux. I think the old wood came out good, so maybe other models will get similar bases instead of the simple, mostly sand ones I do now. Then a Witchling Thrall for the Guild: Inspired by @Mortarion, I gave him some tattoos on his back. And finally, a Student of Conflict for the Outcasts (I bought a Victorias crew box...): And a WIP-shot of what I'm working on atm (said Victorias):
