Those bases are really cool, good job!

Okay, thanks! I am also in love with both the Sue model and his rules/background for being filled with all those Cash references. I am painting one to go with my own Ortega crew. I'll pass your tips on to my brother. Myself I would love to paint McTavish, a guy using his pet alligator as his weapon is just awesome!

Thanks again! No plans for expanding right now, as I said it was a birtday gift for my brother. He is yet to play with this crew but then we will see. Any suggestions for expanding?

Thank you all! Oh, when I wrote a nice tabletop quality I guess I meant a slightly better than tabletop standard...

Hi! Took some pictures today of this Freikorps crew, so I thought I would share. Its the box set that I painted for my brother as a birthday gift. I aimed for a nice tabletop quality with some cool ruined bases. So here it goes: Crew group picture Von Schill Freikorpsmann Freikorpsmann Trapper Librarian Specialist

If I remember correctly Perdita's white pants was painted with layering and mixing colours, no glazes or washes. Starting from Snakebite leather -> Dheneb Stone -> Skull white. Not 100% sure if the basecoat was pure snakebite or if it was some dheneb stone mixed in to make it a little lighter.

I really like the choice of those pale colours on the Red Chapel gang, very cool! I especially like the Belle where you painted some of the stones of the pavement green, it creates a nice contrast to the models.

Very nice stuff!

I wish a had a ready recipe to give you but unfortunately I haven't. But I can give you a brief summary. First of all I use a white undercoat. The colours I use are only skull white and hawk turquoise, and in some of the deepest recesses a selective wash of asurmen blue. Its all about mixing white and turquoise applying a lot of layers and thinning your paint. Then I just took my time going back and forth with highlights and adjusting the shading until I was happy. Also using som Asurmen blue thinned with a lot of water as a glaze to tie the layers together in some stages. Not a great explanation but I hope it at least gives you a hint.

The sculpted smoke on the last one was so cool I had to vote for it.

If by Orts you mean the Ortegas I have already begun the painting process with them, topic can be found here: http://www.wyrd-games.net/showthread.php?31189-For-a-fistful-of-cards! I am going to expand with Sue, Perdita Avatar, Latigo Pistoleros and some Austringers. Also earthfade and durek thank you for your kind words. You seem to be limited to only give out a certain number of thanks at a time so I will thank you this way instead.

Thank you! And that is actually her skin *wink* ---------- Post added at 08:06 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:56 PM ---------- Thanks! I have to other threads for my painted Malifaux stuff. My Rasputina crew: http://www.wyrd-games.net/showthread.php?28131-Rasputina!&highlight= Some of the first pictures are rather poor though, but the Snow storm on the last page is really my pride and joy for that crew. Also I did some completely different and speed painted a Seamus crew, which can be found here: http://www.wyrd-games.net/showthread.php?29288-Speed-painted-Seamus-crew!&highlight=

Thank you for the encouragement! I will take a break from painting stuff for this crew until the Blessed of December gets released by Wyrd. Instead I will focus my Malifaux painting time on my Guild/Ortega crew.

Hello! Just finished taking some pictures of my Ortega crew and thought I would share. So here you go: Perdita Enslaved Nephlim Santiago Francisco Nino Papa Loco Abuela And a group picture...

Nothing too exciting, but I knocked together Jack Daw a while back and thought I should post some pics when I had the camera out.

So I have had this guy painted for quite som time but today at first I have also taken some pics of him. After reading up on the fluff I finally decided to mount Snow on the same base. So here it goes: Also I made some generic objeective markers for the Raspy crew: Enjoy!

I have built some Ice pillars out of insulation, then painted them with PVA glue+water mix before undercoating and painting them. Picture and some additional info in my Raspy thread here: http://www.wyrd-games.net/showthread.php?28131-Rasputina!

Have to say I like Sue a lot. The lightning effects are very nice.

I am a new Perdita player so this was very helpful, thanks!

I like the way you have painted this crew mostly in light colours, well executed. The choice of red on Lady J's blindfold is very nice as a contrast colour and I like that you have added that to the stalker too. Maybe I would be tempted to add some red to the death marshall too. Glowing red eyes might be cool for example...

I like this alot. Very cool choice of colours and impressive results for the rather short time spent painting. Jack Daw looks particularly good.

These look very good. If possible I would love to see some close ups.

Very cool! If I may ask, where did you get those cogwheels you used on the bases?

Oh, looking good!

Thanks! ---------- Post added at 07:33 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:27 PM ---------- I have only tried GW washes and they work good. Even Badab black is useful. I use it for metal parts, for example the gunslinger's pistols. I would be a bit careful with Devlan mud as it is rather dark, but if you want a dark brown its OK too. But as I said, key is just to paint on a thin layer with wash and not apply too much. ---------- Post added at 07:40 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:33 PM ---------- I think it sounds like it would work. Maybe you could skip the first step with Adeptus battlegrey (dark grey) without affecting the end result too much also. That is if you want to cut down on the steps even more.
