This month's been pretty busy for me at work so I haven't done much painting yet. I've started on Hannah and here's a quick WIP shot of her:

@Phinn I really like your Wisp, those yellowish boils on its skin look amazing, now I need to repaint mine

That's plastic Somer. I'm going to paint him for a buddy of mine.

I'd say they're definitely tournament-legal as only their heads and hands with knives are from another company, so that's not more than 33% For February I'm planning these three models:

@Franchute - your Sonnia looks amazing even now. The highlights on jeans and blade are top notch. I look forward to the final effect! As I've written before, it's all about the efficiency mate (and not much sleeping too lol). @Monkeyfist - nice paintjob, I really like teh stripes on his coat. @Joachim - glowing runes work really well on dark skin of Cyclops. The details on the Gorar look fantastic too. @Purple Mist - nice group, I like the coherent look. @H4ml3t - I like the original metal sculpts much better as they have more details to them and you've done a really solid job there. @misterfinn - I like the colors used there, make him look like an entirely alien being, out f place, which is just fine for the Nothing Beast @RustAndTheCity - one of the best Malifaux minis I've ever seen painted. So much character there, the conversion and paintjob are just stunning! @iamfanboy - I like the ethereal feel to these minis, nice paintjobs there! I am at 77 soulstones now with these two Bultungin added in (I don't really know what the appropriate plural form is ). If you want to read about them and how the conversions were made, I have a step by step article on my blog http://www.whatthefaux.net/2018/01/bultungin.html

I was thinking about using a Bloodwretch for some extra card cycling in Z's crew but wanted to see whether I have a good understanding of how they might work. The way I was thinking it might work was: 1. Zoraida obeys Bloodwretch to take (1) The Rage Builds 2. Zoraida obeys Bloodwretch to charge (Juju/hemmed Doll/Illuminated as a target). Now the question is, does the Bloodwretch get to draw 2 cards after damaging? Because if he does, he can still do two more attacks during his activation for a total of 8 cards to be cycled. Seems too good so I'm probably interpreting it wrongly....

@misterfinn I don't know exactly how much it takes me to finish a single model but it would probably be something like you or even longer, I just sleep less Your Freikorps look amazing, great palette of colors and wonderful, smooth highlights with a bright line on the edge to keep some extra contrast - I really like your style.

Love them, gruesome and awesome!

@Burnin' Coal Thank you!. Truth be told, it's all about consistency. Finding at least an hour a night on a regular basis really goes a long way. Also, I always have more fun when I work on a mini for the first time and that was the case for 5 of these. That speeds things up for me too.

Two more minis that I've painted this month, pics on the blog: http://www.whatthefaux.net/2018/01/death-marshal-recruiters.html They bring me to a total of 67 soulstones. It's been a productive month and hey, sleep is overrated anyway

New baby made me more efficient with my spare time. Generally I spend less time fooling around, browsing youtube etc. and get to painting straight away Nice start on your Sonnia - I like the way material reflects light. Speaking of painting, here are two more models for this month More pics on the blog http://www.whatthefaux.net/2018/01/witchling-thralls.html They now bring me to a total of 53 soulstones. There will be more - seem to have my painting engine in full swing this month @Joachim - love the color scheme on your Grootslang @Kogan Style - nice atart on the Stalker, he already looks great.

Amazing paintjob. It's such a small mini yet you've managed to squeeze in so many details. Very impressive!

Very nice painting all around. I like the angry look on Anna's face, never noticed it before!

For some reason my default shipping policy on ebay was set up to exclude many countries. I've changed that now. Thank you @gribble for drawing my attention to this problem.

How about now?

I don't know why it's happening, tried editing the post. Hopefully it'll work now

Hi, I'm selling some stuff on ebay so have a look if you're interested in any of these: https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/virukpl/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from= - Evil Baby Orphanage + 2 expansions - painted Nekima - painted Burt - alt Bayou Gator - metal Marcus - metal Razorspine Rattler - 30mm base inserts - some other stuff

New baby made me more efficient with my spare time. Generally I spend less time fooling around, browsing youtube etc. and get to painting straight away Nice start on your Sonnia - I like the way material reflects light. @misterfinn - at first I built up a few layers of Vallejo Still Water so that the area was flat. After it dried I highlighted it using dark to vivid bright green closer to the rocks. In the end I added a few spots of pure Amarillo Fluo (Vallejo Game Color) in random places and covered it with another thin layer of Vallejo Still Water for that shine effect. Your Specialist looks very good. At this point it's hard to give any criticism, it all depends on how you paint the weapon, whether you use OSL etc. The white looks nice but a bit too clean IMO. You may consider adding some dirt effect there.

@Joachim - nice work on the Cyclop so far and I really like the base. @Piccio - the green on her dress looks amazing 8 more soulstones, which brings me to a total of 35 , more pics on the blog http://www.whatthefaux.net/2018/01/scion-of-void.html

Thanks! Life is now definitely happier and busier Ooops, was meant to check that before posting Nurse Heartsbane comes at 8 stones, which makes it a total of 27 soulstones for e at this point

I've painted these 4. Working on similar color scheme sped things up considerably. Now I'm at ss for this month and I'll try to paint some more. It's not easy now as my family has recently increased (my second daughter was born on January 2nd), but hey, sleep is overrated anyway, isn't it?

Completely agree with buff to Angel Eyes. Aeslin should get a def buff like armor and no in her attack as that would make her viable. In general, our henchmen are on the meh side...

Since my family is about to get bigger, I will start off with these 4 rather straightforward models as I should be able to paint them this month:

Three more minis, it's been a productive month as they bring my total to 50 soulstones (20 for two Bishops, 7 for Burt, 7 for Forgotten Marshal, 10 for Ryle , 6 for Johana).

You have to remember that "A single model can only be targeted by this action (Ever Changing Form) once per Turn." So I understand you can only summon Voodoo Doll using Wisp once per turn. It means that if you begin with the Doll, kill it, summon another with Mama Z, kill it, summon another with Wisp and get rid of it (preferably hemming something in process and killing it passively with Fears Given Form), you're still one marker short to create a Teddy Turn 1.
