@Caedrus thank you for the kind words. My total for the month is 41ss.

Everybody in this thread continues to impress me with their skills and imagination. So glad I joined this community. ☺️

Pledging the Jack Daw crew box this month!

Disregard post. Archie has been acquired.

@Caedrus it's a mulligan! I painted some Bushido minis this month but no Wyrd.

I'll get back on the horse in August.

Excited to go through this thread when I get the chance.

1 more day til Gen Con!  If you are going, have a great time. Would love to see photos of the tournament crews.

@Caedrus My total for June was 16ss, thanks!

Since I'm here, I'm thinking July will be my first mulligan...

Will still enjoy seeing what others are working on. Have a great week all!

@Wintergloom Oh, my mistake. No need to change the rules! I'm sure many people are working on non-Malifaux stuff they haven't counted.

My total is 16 @Caedrus 

Congrats @Wintergloom!!

So, after finishing this behemoth of a piece:

And after spilling an entire bottle of hexwraith flame on my clothes and carpet...

I'm honestly pretty burnt out on painting 😅. For now, I'll just pledge two Hanged:

Hope everyone is having a good summer (or winter for those in the Southern Hemisphere)! 

Hey @Caedrus I had 68 ss for May. Thanks!

June pledge coming soon. Been painting a lot of non-Wyrd stuff that I probably won't show off until it's all done.

@bedjy 🔥🔥🔥

@Caedrus put me down for 68 soulstones please!

@Wintergloom Yay Cult of the Burning Man!! They look great 

@PetitDalek Sweet Ophelia! Are you gonna work on the Young Lacroix. My father's been painting them and they have such great sculpts.

@Viruk Thank you! Love your crew, especially the cuddly monkey and the happy little jackalope. I think I need to push my highlights, in general. And get a better camera.

I also have some pre-release stuff that I'm itching to put together. Gonna be a good (expensive) year 

Pledge is nearly done, mostly just need to finish basing. In the meantime, here's a finished Jaakuna:

Nothing too special. Skin has been a particular challenge for this crew because I've been using GW's Ironach Skin and changing its tint with shades. It's such a light color that every inconsistency shows up. Makes for really tedious touch-ups.

Looking forward to seeing the rest of this month's pledges!

Perfect timing. Just got my pledge primed and went looking for this thread. Gonna finish up Kirai's crew, and I'm glad I found cheap boxes on eBay because it looks like they're not making her M3E stuff for a while.

And here I must rant again:

These Goryo were the most infuriating minis I have ever assembled, and I've put together TWO Kingdom Death Phoenixes. Just an absolute nightmare of confusing contact points and no space to work with. In general, Wyrd's build instructions are shameful compared to GW or KD.

Probably won't paint them this month, I need to put magnets in their butts and nails in the bases. 😃

Have a great month, all!

The question is should I add smoke stains on the top of these pipes?

Could do. I don’t think it’s necessary.

May I ask how you got the subtle rust effect on this and the pork chop? Love it.

So, I have a confession...

I despise painting eyes. I delay doing it. I make mistakes and have to repaint the face. It never looks the way I want it. 

But I know I have to do it because otherwise minis don't look finished. Here's Kirai and Francis: 

Not great, but that's the best I can do without angrily chucking something.

@Caedrus My total for the month is: 57ss 

Thanks!

if i have to say sth i’d say, the shade of green between the skin & leaves is too similar, and makes it a bit repetitive.

But it’s supposed to be camouflaged! 

@Athiko love the fire aesthetic and basing!

@Burnin' Coal amazing as usual. I can't stop looking at those purple socks.

After three straight months of painting TOS, I'm ready for something else.

And it looks like there's something in the water because I'm also working on Kirai's crew. Here's my April pledge:
