Thank you! At first I was unsure about using such a bright color scheme, seeing as Malifaux is actually pretty dark and has a gloomy setting. I am really pleased with the way this turned out.
Thanks! There are more to come.
I have to agree that the pads are kind of iffy. I had a hard time deciding what to do with them, partially because they are the only thing I would complain about the model. Seeing as knee pads do not really fit a suited mad hatter much. Haha.
I went through my color base. If I had used brown it would have been too much down there with the boots and the bag. The grey tone wouldn't have really improved it either, seeing as I highlight it with a peachy orange.
I could have used a metal based paint, like I did on the blade, saw, barrel of the gun and boots. But I just don't like the look of metallic paints, especially since thus far Seamus is my only model with such parts/paints. I just went for the dark white and must say I am still pretty happy with it.
Would you have any recommendations or suggestions?
Thank you, Sir!
Yes. I grew up with other table top games, mostly Warhammer and Warhammer 40k. After years you grow accustomed to the general unifying look of your models on the table, all in the same color scheme and painted similarly to another.
Malifaux is a game with a lot of rather unique models and potentially you can paint every model as a unique individual for the game table. I dislike this though. I prefer a way to identify them as a group (much like modern day gangs wear silly headbands of the same color, etc...). Thus I had to come up with a way to make them look different, but also alike in a way.
I can list my colors I use and also make a 'how to' on painting these models.
