@ Lord Shaper: THX, but if you look at my other painting threads the talent isn`t that big. Mostly superbly sculpted models and a little know how.

@Paul Turner: No, prob, but you can always pm me with questions. I used normal warm water with some cleaner for dishes and a tooth brush. Rinse good! 2 thin layers of basecoat and a lot of work with chaos black to reach all the parts where you can`t get with the spray can. The better you do this work the less problems you have later on.

I am working on it, only real life/work is intruding. Hope to manage some new WIPs next weekend. Started to plant grass, weeds and flowers.

Hi all remaining! For December two more Gremlins, sorry about the pics, my room is occupied so i had to improvise.

Here the statistix,for mistakes please pm me!

A Happy New Year!!!!! What is it all about? The aim of “The Tale of Malifaux Painters” is to help motivate those involved to start and complete their Crews/Bands in the next 6 months. This time the pic of a prize winner: The painters involved have made a commitment to paint and post, by the last day of each month, their finished minis. They do this each month for the next 6 months. Starting with their first post on the last day of August 2011 and finishing with their last post on the last day of January 2012. So we have this month, whilst everyone signs up, to collect, build, convert, undercoat and otherwise get yourself ready to go with the first work in progress starting in September. However, because people have real lives with exams, holidays, honeymoons, new babies etc, etc. They get one 'Joker'. For one month within the half year you can ‘play a joker’ and rather than post an update they can post "sorry guys couldn't get it done this month. Real life got in the way." But the other 5 Months they have to come up with painted and based figures. Even for the slow painters that should be at least 1 crew. A WORD ON PHOTOS 640x480 seems to work best OR use thumbnails Bigger than this results in the scroll bar of doom for many. Frequently Asked Questions Q : Am I too Late? Can I still Join in? A : No you are not too late. Yes you can still join in. Just post on this thread saying what you intend to paint. Q : How much do I have to paint? A : There is a minimum of one mini per month with the additional WIP pics. Most will aim at more. But one breathtaking mini will take a long time. Q : Can I include a short narrative with each months post. A : Yes. We love background stuff. Write as much as you like it will be read and enjoyed by many. Q : Can I drop out? A : No you can't, why should you?

After 2 weeks without my laptop her some new pics: First after a heavy application of devlan mud: After drybrushing earth and stone: Basework on the fences and gates: And the mass production of grave stones:

@ all: Good job so far! Will comment and do the statistics as soon as my pc is back from service.

For everyone interested, i started a step by step in my thread "village in progress".

Next a step by step on the way to my graveyard. First a very early step of the base: Black priming with a coat of scorched brown and some spots of colors (blazing orange, goblin green and deep sea blue). No fear, they will nearly vanish after the next steps.

And a lonly one for SpaceHulk:

Some new stuff for my Tomb Kings: Necrotect and his pet, the Necrosphinx:

And the interior:

And here the finished house, sorry for the slightly blueish pics:

Lucky you, i had my alarm on and then i had to attend an emergency in hospital. Came back from work at 2 a.m. saturday, so no gremlinette for me. Sad Panda here.

Real life got me kind of hard. Planned to do my SpaceHulk- and Malifaux-Minis in the second half of the month that was full of problems, so i have to draw my

Reserved for statistix! Hope to have them online this weekend!

And here some WIPs:

Only 16??? Hope there will be some late comers. But it is comments time: @ nightseer: don`t want to repeat myself, Did warseer comments first. @ Rathnard: Yep, the bowler hat is fun, the pink theme is strange but is fitting. @ Regnak: Night fight? As far as I can see, very nice. The rat is cool, the bushes? I don`t know. Perhaps bushes with different height? @ Scribe: Love it! Won`t you visit me and give me some osl lessons? @ Mydnight:: cute and blue, but do not know if I like the models. @ WookieeGunner: Bases look fine, “cool” Raspy, very nice terrain. @ Geckilan: Great work, me myself is not really convinced by the osl eyes. @ Tiny: Oh my, that is a lot of cool stuff! @ Korrosion: ähem, no pic to really comment on, isn`t it? @ aka hazard: Is your light blue or is the blue coloring part of the pinting? Love the NE stuff.! @ Bucket Monkey: Cool stuff, like the weathered look. @ perplexity: see nightseer. I have nightmares about my Peacekeeper. @ rotokultaxe: another of my nightmares. @ Steamhammer: lovely painting even if I would have liked some more shadows on the flesh. Do not like the sword of the model, but that is not your fault. @ fishtank: Gremlins!!!!!!!!!! I love them! Have to order my Young LaCroix! Ok, the photos are not the best, but w….
