Popular Post Maulwurfmann Posted April 17, 2017 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 17, 2017 Hello, my friends. Stay awhile and listen... I got into Malifaux for about a year now. So i´m really like a newbie and just bought whatever looked cool and shiny (what a fool i was ). This Thread was created to show you my progress in painting my pile of shame from time to time or even new miniatures from malifaux i couldn´t resist. Hopefully you enjoy the minis and if you like give me a comment or a critic where i could have done better. I´ve got a bunch of other miniatures painted like my Lady Justice Crew but no actual Picture. Next on my painting table will be the missing two members of the Crossroads Seven. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Treehouse Posted April 18, 2017 Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 Brilliant painting! Which colours did you use for the brown pants on Papa Loco and for the copper of the skeleton on Yan Lo's base, please? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maulwurfmann Posted April 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 18, 2017 It was Vallejo Model Color Flat Brown 70.984 for the trousers and Vallejo Game Color 72.040 Leather brown both individually darkened and brightened with black and a cream white As long as i remember. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marke83 Posted April 19, 2017 Report Share Posted April 19, 2017 How to improve? Well, its really hard to say not only because the minis are very well painted, but also because Malifaux minis are often too small for you to make any meaningful difference. Sure you could play with atmosphere and dramatise them a bunch, but for high level gaming minis these are suitable. I find it hard to criticize gaming figures nowadays anyway, because I spent personally a lot of time on technique only to realize technique won't guarantee a pretty miniature, and there is a limit how good minis of this size will look. My minis haven't reached this limit, but yours have. It's really not a mystery why large scale figures constantly do well in contests these days. Now, after the technique is down it comes down to artistry, realism and taste.. For example, why would you improve certain blends or contrasts etc, because the difference will be do miniscule and only apparent in photographs if at all. Now, you could go for something different, but why if this is what you want them to look like? Really good job and there's nothing really wrong with these. Keep on painting 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klatschi Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 Always nice to see you, Maulwurfmann. And always nice to see your beautifully painted Malifaux Models - definitely a double plus flip with cherry topping! This way I can *squee* more often when I see them here and on TTW 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Maulwurfmann Posted April 22, 2017 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 @Marke83, Butch Thanks. it´s not just the blendings. For example i panted white skulls on Franciscos Sombrero and he looked terrible. Like a mad Santa Clause...so i repainted it in a darker tone. I´m not satisfied how it turned out but better than before. It´s not just the technique it´s also about colour and colour theory . I am my biggest critic but sometimes a source from outside can change your view. All my guild model where i did the red with the airbrush lack some depth in their clothes. That´s a problem i´m working on for example. In the end you may not see the difference on the gaming table...but i know its there...and it bothers me . @klatschi Nice to see you too. Hopefully the TTW will be back soon. The pictures will be uploaded to both forums. Glad you like them. But enough text for today. We are here for pictures. I´m working on the last two Crossroads Seven Models but the Sky Pirates sneaked onto my desk and took over. First i did some bases Heres the finished Base (without water effect which will be added to all gremlin bases when the whole crew is finished) And the Captain himself: 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisB76 Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Wow! Love your work. Do you use an airbrush for the 30mm based models too? I am curious if there is some use to it 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maulwurfmann Posted April 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 There is plenty of use. Especialliy the ground colors. Most of the fog and light effect of the rockets was made with Airbrush (and a little with normal brush). The swamp and wood was made with AB. I painted the captain and the backpack seperate so i could work free with the fog. Added a litte light to the captian afterwards with normal brush. I can´t do eyes or small things but it really fastens your work on large base colors. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisB76 Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 Do you mask out the other areas when doing the base colors? By any chance You don't have any photos from the airbrush step of your model? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sigmar3 Posted April 23, 2017 Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 Hey, really nice painting. Across the board great 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a photo of the finished smoke effect after i´m done with the Airbrush. But i will do more step fotos of the iron skeeters which are planned to be sprayed on weekend. Also i´m trying to do some weathering with masking on them. On 23.4.2017 at 10:58 PM, sigmar3 said: Hey, really nice painting.

Maulwurfmann Posted September 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2017 Seems like photobucket did not work out for me. Next time i try to upload my pics into the forum. I heard about the Iron Painter and decided to give it a try. Meanwhile i´m painting on Lilitu for Neverborn. A first WiP: Why the heck are all my pictures on the side? How can i upload more pics then 0,5 mb? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't know why it's sideways. Forum image capacity is intentionally very limited. Get a third party hosting site and link from there. I see Imgur used a lot, but you've got options if you google a bit. and daaam that's one nice wip. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Maulwurfmann Posted September 10, 2017 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 Thanks for the tip, i´ve already used photobucket and imageshack. But the first shut down the links and the second became a paid service which was unstable and bugged. Sometimes you could not upload images and once they lost half of it. Now i´m trying imgur. Hopefully they will do better. On the other hand lilitu is finished. Here are some pics of minis i finished too the past weeks. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maulwurfmann Posted September 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2017 Also i´ve updatet the older postings without photobucket. Maybe there are some new pictures, i did not replace them with the same as before. Just added every pic i had on my hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its plain Model Color Black highlighted as smooth as possible with some blue-grey like sombre grey or shadow grey. Maybe i can take pictures next time i try the black.

Had to prime the whole mini matt so the gloss would fade. Feel free to do so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
