I'm guessing you used oils to achieve this result on the minis, right ? And for the blood, I'd say blood effect paints such as Coagulated Blood for instance ?

It’s a mix of acrylic paints and oil washes, you can see all in my latest stream https://www.twitch.tv/videos/1895080630

Catching up with forum uploads - 50 soulstones

@TimH - sweet colorful paintjob on the Dino. Everything is well executed and those tiny teal scales are a great addition.

@Hawkoon - very atmospheric, those pale color work so well!

@Gheist - I really like the colorful Jorogumo - painting such large models is quite a challenge and they turned out great!

@LinenMusician - hard to think now that this was one of the first ever Malifaux models released in plastic. Very nice paintjob here, well balanced colors and everything looks solid from technical standpoint.

As for my stuff this month - currently looking at 137 ss and more to come for sure

54 soulstones it will be this month

@Brad Maynes - very nice paintjob on the mini I hate to see on the table  The golden NMM looks great!

@MestreGuilderius - such an amazing, atmospheric piece, love it!

@LinenMusician - this is a walk down the memory lane, those were some of the first ever minis released in plastic from Wyrd (McCabe and Lynch and I think Mei?). Very good memories and very good paintjob from you

I've started May with a very quick paintjob on three proxies (they are from D&D range) as I await the release of Returned keyword.

2 Blood Vessels and one Mindless Zombie - about 1hr of work in total and a start of 12 soulstones.

@djmacbest - I really like the ghostly and etheric look of these Aversions and Lyssas.

@Trimasel - this shade of green works so well with white! Great job

@Warpig - nice colors and excellent brushwork on the lone marshal

@Gheist - very nice vivid colors, excellent brushwork and I really like the base for Cooper2 - perfect match. The big thng next to Jedza2 - is that your take on Kurgan?

Also great to see minis from TT painted - first time for me and you've done them justice.

@Moinetbeard - thanks for the comment  I can recommend chekcing out the oil painting videos on youtube - MarcoFrisoniNJM is the man! Really like the strong, bold highlights on your pieces from this month!

@Brad Maynes - the NMM of Gearlings is absolutely top notch

@TimH - the rotten green ksin tone is spot on!

@LinenMusician - very nice work, I particularly like how you've added texture with brushstrokes  

@Cats Laughing - the shiny look on mutated parts of this Illuminated looks great 

10 more soulstones for me, bringing me to a total of 174

You gotta pay attention to the fact that 740 was 2020 and he obviously stopped counting

True, now it would be probably around twice that

@Gheist - great job all around and I love how they all come together!

And speaking of mins, here are a few more painted this month, bringing me to a total of 164 🔮

HAha,  @Hawkoon good thing I read the whole post before replying and congratulating you

Since I'm on a sick leave, I had a pretty strong start in April and here's what I've already painted (92 soulstones sp far):

@Gheist - great looking crew, those bright colors go so well with darker bases!

@TimH - great looking beasts! Bright shades on Nekima and cartoonish style of painting worked really well too!

@Warpig - nice nd clean brushwork there! Old metal minis may lack some of the detail and dynamism of the new plastics but they do have great character!

From my end - reporting a grand total of 307 soulstones. Don't think I can do more

I painted some 3D prints that will stand in for Kastore Fervent, Cavern Nephilim, and Gwyll + Barbaros and Blood Hunter.

266 stones, think I'll do more than 300 this month at this pace 

210 soulstones  

183 soulstones and more to come

@Moinetbeard - as always, impressive base and lovely, bright and saturated colors. Top notch brushwork!

@Diddick - this bright green skin tone looks absolutely amazing in contrast with dark clothes. Super smooth highlights, love it!

@Hawkoon - lovely OSL, and a very atmospheric piece!

Alright, time add some Woe to the mix:

94 soulstones at this point. Let's see if I can get to 200 this month

I will be amazing  I'm definitely coming and strongly encourage all who can to join  

Has the pledge reporting link disappeared? I couldn't find it in February thread...

Anyway, I've had a solid start of the month with these 4 Young ones (28 stones)

Not sure if we can factor in proxies, these are two stand-ins for Athorak (16 stones)

And I also finally finished Iconic Titania - again, not sure how many soulstones she might be worth?

@Hawkoon can you advise ?

Big apologies for such a delay, here are the minis I painted in February, total of 37 stones

@Diddick - nice rusty look!

@Trimasel - I like how you made each distinctly different by using varied colors for spell/weather effects

@Hawkoon - very atmospheric with super smooth highlights, love them!

@Caedrus- vivid colors and clean paintjob, they look properly Bayou-ish

@Cats Laughing - nice coherent colors  

@Moinetbeard - amazing work but this Mah... truly spectacular piece and it will make many players jealous

@Gheist - super clean paintjob with excellent level of attention to small details

@TimH - now it makes me wish I had used autumn flock on my Fae minis  

It's been a pretty busy month, here are the minis I've painted in January (58 soulstones)

Checking in for 2023

I don't have specific plans - just wat to continue with Tyrant pledge and paint as many miniatures / month as possible

I will start with Iconic Titania (I've actually already painted ~50% during my Wyrd painting stream yesterday  ).

@Moinetbeard - not this is proper basing for this ridiculous sized model

Looking forward to having fun here this year again!

139 soulstones for December  Bring it on, 2023 !

@wobbly_goggy - very nice, clean paintjob, the blue jacket makes him look royal

@Moinetbeard - this is essentially a mini-diorama. Don't know how practical it will be in game, but from aesthetic standpoint it looks absolutely amazing

And two more from me, bringing me to a total of 60 soulstones

Really hoping there are some volunteers to pick things up in 2023. Many thanks to @Shock & Awe and @Gheist for keeping it going this year!

As for Masterclass: Do you manage to get gifts for your hobby from other people? How do you do it? indulge my curiosity

 

Well, if buying things myself, wrapping them in Christmas paper and placing them under the christmas tree as a gift from Santa counts, then yes - I did receive a number of hobby gifts

Two more Titanias from me for now 30soulstones, more to come!

I typically mix dark brown with black roughly 50/50

Wraithbone basecoat, white drybrush and then a combination of washes from light grey/brown contrast conlor + some highlights and blacklining. With an oil wash in between

This Black Friday I am hoping to get Alt Barbaros as I don't like the original mini. I ha the old version and run it with Titania in M2E but sold it at some point, seeing no play. Now with the new keyword I think I may need it again. As for the practical side, we generally make a larger order within our meta and share the shipping / vat etc. costs among bigger group.

My November has been pretty busy so far and looks like I may stop here for now as I have some non-Malifaux stuff waiting too. 66 soulstones isn't bad anyway I reckon
