I had some rather difficult mold lines on him as well. I was a little disappointed, but I got out what a could. The Avatar Seamus I saw had a few terribly deep lines (more so than Snow Storm). Far less QC on the resins compared to the metals. I rarely have any issues (minus a little flash here and there) with Wyrd metals.

Thank you for the compliments, I'm so glad you guys like him...he's the most fun. I have a few little touch ups I have to do before our group varnishes this weekend (and putting my snow on the base so he matches everybody).

My first crew was Pandora (and she needs to take a Pine Sol bath, big time. We sealed them when it was WAY too hot outside and the matte looks dusty).

I love this crew, every model that comes out for them I jump up and down. I totally can't wait to get my hands on Raspi's Avatar. Finishing up her alternate (probably today or tomorrow) and I'll put her up here. Big thank you to the folks at Wryd. This is an amazing crew. Very easy to paint, especially for a beginner.

Had to strip my Avatar Seamus because of fuzzy primer, used both Pinesol and Simple Green (not together, one then the other, mandatory dsafety disclaimer: mixun chemicals is bad, um-kay, so dont do it, um-kay).

Removed everything with in about 40 minutes (5 minute soaks then 5 minutes of scrubbing, 2 cycles thru each chemical). No issues with the Resin (though it does break up the Glue pretty well).

Have used the same process with great success on my metal models as well (stupid humidity).

I used Pine Sol to strip some of mine (heat and humidity fuzzed my primer too! Stupid Arizona Monsoon)...It didn't get some out of the finer details, but (after a thorough wash with clean water, of course) a couple hours in acetone nail polish remover works just fine with the metals...though I wouldn't leave 'em in there too long. I didn't dare put plastic in the acetone.

Scrub with a tooth brush and viola! Clean mini **don't forget your latex gloves though, that acetone is some nasty stuff**

would you be offended if i yelled:

"BRADY BUNCH!!!!"?

anyway, nice job. and as always, the hoarcats are adorable. i want one.

I want one too! I bought the original Rasputina (back when Wyrd only did minis) and she came with a Hoarcat, but I have no clue what to do with him now. Thinkin' about making him some kind of objective marker.

Thank you for takin' a look. This crew is super fun to paint.

*Edited to re-link pictures* I think there was a problem with Photobuket...hopefully I fixed it.

I finished up my Silent One, Acolyte, Essence of Power and Snow Storm and wanted to share. I hope you like 'em

I like the little short pieces, the ones that are on the parchment. The constable in Twisting Fates gave me the creeps! In Rising Powers I really liked the train story on the last page. It had a similar creep factor. And the main story is incredibly well done. Thumbs up, gentlemen.

I think the problem people are having with the sculpts is these are NOT Gael Goumon sculpts...they can't be. I haven't seen the folks at Wyrd giving sculptor credit on the new stuff yet so I may be wrong, but these don't seem like his style. His style defined what was graceful and elegant about the Wyrd female masters. I don't know why they didn't use him for the alts, but he was like the Jes Goodwin of Wyrd, he really helped define the feel of the range. The new Perdita doesn't have the same 'grace' for lack of a better word.

Sounds like the premise for the worst movie ever made (no really I mean it, 2 hours of my life I am never going to get back)...

Zombie Strippers staring Jenna Jameson, Tito Ortiz, and Robert England (the only redeeming part of the entire movie).

LOL I saw this on Netflix yesterday and contemplated it...train wreck factor of that combination of actors really caught my attention.

We'll be reading this to the baby for Christmas. She already read the Night Before Christmas. Time for something new lol.

Pretty good, babe. :clap:

Hope all is well, Thaehl. I won't be able to play tonight (stupid work...again), but I'll be there around 8:30 or so to see a couple rounds. I did put in a request to my boss for Saturday's off, so hopefully I'll be able to make some tournaments here pretty soon!

This guy came out really well. I'm not gonna say he's as good as Seamus because Seamus was a little more complicated than this guy, but he's up there. Again, my photography doesn't do him justice.

This is incredible. We're right in the middle of building a Malifaux board for our house and buildings are our biggest obstacle. I'd like to see a tutorial as well if you're up to one.

not sure how to save the location of my local gaming store, my tag is obviously thaehl, my Lgs is Imperial Outpost Games, on Thunderbird Road Phoenix Arizona.

What he said (minus the thaehl part). Great store, great people. I've seen Malifaux being played just about every time I've been in there (and I've been in there a LOT lately).

These guys are amazing. I wish I could paint like that.

they look great cant wait to see em in person, your bringing them to the tournament in oct? right?

Thank you That's the plan! She was a lot easier to play than Pandora. Was fun, played her against Klaar's LaCroix gremlins (first time Klaar and I played our new crews).

I won't be able to make it, unfortunately (wonky work schedule).

And Thael there *are* girls that play this game.

Also, I was in the store 2 days ago and Darren didn't have book 2 yet.

They look great, and did the Seamus models get fixed?

Thank you! I can't wait to get the rest of her crew finished. These were a blast to paint (especially the Ice Golem).

And yes, ChaosLenny repainted his Seamus crew (he put the new shots of his models on the same Seamus thread). They came out really really good. I like the lighter, brighter color scheme.

The lonely Gamin ain't so lonely anymore:)...crew is still in progress (adding Acolyte and Hoar Cat Pride)...hope you guys enjoy!

My photography is getting better, but the pictures don't do them justice. They're amazing on the table. ChaosLenny has a great sense of color. If you think Klaar's post on basing with potting soil, you should hear Lenny's lecture on the color wheel.

The pictures really don't do these guys justice. They look really good on the table. We'll definitely re-photograph these minis this week. I didn't realize the pictures came out as dark as they did.

(In the defense of my photography, it was like midnight when we took the pictures and I was sleepy).

Avoid Armory, i have used two cans of it and they were both bad. The paint came out flaky and made the mini fuzzy from BOTH cans.

OMG do NOT use Armory to matte your models. We bought a can, sprayed my boyfriend's Seamus crew...the entire group of models came out looking dusty. We take high resolution pictures of our finished models (for posting and personal critique) and it was like teeny tiny little pearls of matte all over the models.

We asked a friend what kind of matte is prefered and he said "Armory." Figured the first can we bought was just crap or we didn't shake it enough, maybe it was too hot, too humid, might have been sprayed in direct sunlight, etc. So we give it another shot and bought a new can. Last night it was not humid, it was midnight (no direct sun), shook the can for like 3 minutes and SAME result. So disappointed in Armory paint. We ended up using an old paint brush and ran it over and it got most of the "pearls" off the model, but it was still a severe disappointment.

I've already started planning on how I can get Halloween off (Saturday at 11 is already clear). Looking forward to the Book 2 discussion (I promise to have it all the way read by then...and by "read" I don't mean "Oh look at all the new shinies!")

...when you decide it IS okay to use super glue as a bandaid.

With Pandora I used some GW Gravel, tried to paint it to look weird and magicky. Came out like crap (She's taking a PineSol bath this weekend). My Rasputina crew is on the Wyrd Graveyard Bases and I can't even tell you how awesome they look. I really like them and they seem to be cast really well (at least the batch I have). Collette is next and I don't think I will put her on Wyrd bases since they don't have anything I think fits the look I'm going for (not that I've heard anyway). But don't let that sound like I haven't been thoroughly impressed with the Wyrd bases. They've made such a lovely change to my models.

However, I do recommend if you get the Victorian bases, the Victorian accessory pack is an amazing addition to the bases.

Sorry about the lameness of my non-links. I will remedy this when I get home. Silly work computer.
