Two final-worthy entries but still the choice was easier for me than I had anticipated
-
Great woork all around. I really like how Seamus turned out. The base adds more dynamism here. Your painting style really brings out the details on these great models.
-
The base looks great, it has this eerie fantasy feel to it and those snowflakes contribute to the effect significantly.
-
That's a really great looking crew, coherent color scheme and a very good paintjob

AND TO ALL PLAYERS FROM AREA OF WARSZAWA.
Are you gathering models or wargaming? We have to meet and play a Malifaux!
I currently own one fully painted crew (Justice) and would love to meet and play. I'm going to be pretty busy until the end of the month and then I leave for two weeks in July but after that I'm good to go.

Podstawki mam akurat 3 wolne i mogę się podzielić ale po długim weekendzie bo wyjeżdżam i nie będzie mnie w domu do niedzieli.

Here's a brief update on my Guild crew and some better pics of minis used in the "FORBIDDEN" round. You can see more pics when you click the thumbnails.
First off, the Scales of Justice.
Secondly, Alternate Justice and Dead Justice.
And last but not least, the Executioner.

That's one happy family Sweet paintjob on all of these, I'm looking forward to seeing more Malifaux stuff from you!
-
It's a really impressive piece and the only explanation I can find for you being out is simply that the competition is very strong, all of those top 8 entries were very good. Still, this one would definitely be among my top three.

Love the smooth highlights and the feel of this crew, amazing stuff!

He looks mean and he looks like he means business - I do like the choice of colors. The OSL looks nice though I think it would be even better if you had watered down the paint and made the highlights a bit smoother with the final white one being just a light touch on the edge.
I like the look of his clothes - old and worn out. The only thing that really bothers me here is a mold line you didn't remove from his right arm. Other than that it's a very solid paintjob - loking forward to seeing your Molemen - bring it on :Combat_Puppet:
-
Maybe we should use Polish here to make sure our conversation is understandable to our fellow countryman? I hope that's alright with the forum rules?
-
Great choice of models and excellent painting. The only thing I think could be a bit better are the white clothes as they seem to be lacking depth. Other than that those are fantastic-looking minis.

To tell the truth, I use only 2 colors from Andrea skin set on regular basis, namely #3 and 4. Together with Ogryn Flesh, I get pretty decent results. Other tones from this set can be used with dark skin tones, something I've not needed so far.
I like the Army Painter range so much that I ordered a few more already

Some interesting points here, I enjoyed reading the discussion so far.
Personally, I tend to use many different types of paints (as you can see in a pic of my workspace below).
Using paints from different ranges has become a kind of hobby on its own for me I started a couple of years ago with Citadel paints and loved them. Before that I used only enamel paints that required a thinner to clean the brushes, making the whole process more difficult. So, understandably, using paints that can be mixed with water was a welcome change.
After a while I bought a couple of Vallejo paints. They have much better bottles and are mostly a good match for Citadel paints. I've had some problems with certain colors, where the pigment separated too easily and they required a lot of shaking before they could be actually used but overall, I like this range.
I also used Reaper paints and while these pots are a tad smaller, the quality of the paint, its consistency and coverage is very good too. Reaper has this nice idea of organizing its range of paints into triads, meaning you can buy three different shades of the same color that are designed to work together. And they actually do, you can get excellent results simply by using a three-step highlight system when you work with these. The other thing I like about the Reaper paints is that they actually have a small piece of metal inside them which helps a lot when you shake the paint before working with it. And once you've finished the paint, you can open it a get a nice looking metal skull
After that, I tried some P3 paints and while I love their consistency (they're a bit thinner than other paints I use) and excellent coverage, I don't care much for the pots they're packed in. They're hard to open and after a longer while the lids tend to get broken and fall apart. Still, I use some of these colors and I think they're probably the best for layering.
Another paint range I like a lot are Andrea paints. They come in boxes of 6 dropper bottles. They're a bit thicker than the other paints I use but they're unique in the design. They're sold in specific color sets. My favorites so far are black, gold, red and skin sets. When you buy a set you get six shades of a given color and a small leaflet with instructions on how to work with highlights and add shades. These paints are fantastic for working on individual models if you really want to get smooth highlights without needing to mix the paints. They work well with batch painting too. I love this range and would recommend it to everyone.
Still, if I was to start the hobby or if I had fewer paints and looked for substitutes, I'd definitely pick the Amry Painter set. So far I've bought only the metallics, washes and a few random colors. The metallics are probably the best I've worked with, thinner than Citadels with equally good coverage. The dropper bottles are a much better solution (especially when it comes to washes).

I like the way you approach these minis, they look great in a group, all painted using coherent color scheme.At this point I think it might be a good idea to add some deeper shades to the orange cloth in her mid section.
-
Great looking minis, the Golem is amazing, looks just like it should - a walking ice crystal, fantastic paintjob.
-
I like the bright, vivid colors you used on her, they add a nice element of contrast to the elements in the background. Her skin looks excellent and the snake is a nice touch too.
-
I looked great even at an earlier stage and now it looks absolutely amazing. You're a very skilled painter and each element of the mini shows that. Keep up the great work!

Maybe we should try to organize a meeting for Polish players somewhere around this summer? If any other people are interested, you can write here. I can organize a place to play an stay overnight for several people. I live in Grodzisk Mazowiecki, it has a very good connection to Warsaw (WKD/PKP) so perhaps a few people would be able to come?
-
Yet another great looking mini from you. I really like the way you paint skin, be it human or zombie, this is the part that always stands out the most to me.

Whenever I make a larger order at MSG, I always end up emailing them a month later and kindly asking about the status. I usually receive a reply that it's almost ready and will be sent shortly. And that's usually the case. I like MSG as they have good prices and sell a wide range of products but they do tend to take a long time to finalize the orders.
-
That's a great looking crew with lovely additions - the Watcher looks amazing, great stuff!
-
Excellent painting and great choice of colors. All the minis look great, I'd love to see a group shot.
