Superb work, Viruk. Your work is inspiring! The Guild models look really great, they have good contrasts and beautiful colours. The Hounds are very dark, which make Lucius stand out even more.

Now I want to get me some guild to paint as well!

Looking gooda, the base you made for Mei looks better then the original.

Indeed, these kind of packs can supply alt sculps of models that come in larger amounts, such as zombies, arachnids, gremlins, whatnots. I am really interested. Would be cool if it includes terrain.

Interesting!

Just clicked through your entire project log. Really great stuff! At first I thought it was too much orange, and not enough other colours. But then you go adding other colours, and end with this very nice combination with orange, without orange and grey being the only colours. The bases and crews look really great, and are a cohesive lot. I am now in love with your Primordial Magic, don't tell my fiancee!

I will try to leech off your painting skills now

That looks great. Orange Gremlins look hot. Also the shading and highlighting is really cool. The pig looks allmost metalic.

Got the base for my Mechanical Rider. Still have to attach the arm with chain weapon.

Will be working on a trofee for the Painting Raffle I am holding in 10 days first. But then it's back to the last few models for my Ramos crew. After this Mech Rider I got Joss, and then its time for Mei Feng. She's been in her box for way too long!

I made my own wooden bases for my Colette crew. A tutorial for that, and pictures how I accesorised their bases can be found in my painting thread. See my signature for the link.

Ravatar is so cool to play! Building the model was a bit of a choir. Not so much attaching the legs to the torso, but to get the model attached to a base. I couldn't pin it, so had to solve it with multiple layers of glue, a bit of sand where the claw touches the base, and a few extra varnish layers.

I wanted to give a glowing blue look to where the legs attach to the torso. That didn't turn out too well. It looks flat. For the rest I found out during painting that I attached the blue spark the wrong way. The backside is facing forward. Well, as a player I will be looking at his backside quite some, so I will see the more detailed part. Again really tried my best on the base.

And the crew isnt complete withour Ramos and his avatar, Ravatar.

For Ramos I did his OSL after practicing on all the other models. I like how the yellow came out with the little lighter yellow stripes in the lights. The blue OSL on his jacket is the best I produced so far, and am really glad how it turned out. Spent endless amounts of layers on the browns, and was a bit scared to screw it with my blue. Ofcourse Ramos is a boss, and wears white shoes. I think Ramos is my best painted model up to date.

Then some better pictures of my Steamborg. I love him. He kills stuff. He is mobile. He looks great. Had great fun assembling him, and his base. On the pictures the bronze rust/patina comes over stronger then it is in real life. Still not too subtle, but not as bright as it seems on the pic.

Spent a lot of time on the flesh, really trying to make it pop. I am quite satisfied with it, maybe the dark parts are a bit too dark. But still, it got a good contrast and pops out on the table.

The way I positioned him on the base makes him stand more upright. I greenstuffed the little hole that emerged while doing that. You can't spot it at all. I didnt highlight the cables sticking out of the base on purpose, as not to pull attention from mr 'Borg himself.

And then there's the totems/Electrical Creation. These are very nice models. I am especially fond of the Brass Arachnid.

For the Electrical Creation I skipped glueing the little sparks on top. They kept falling off, where too small to pin, and, more importantly, I like the 'bare head' look. I spent a lot of time layering the flesh, something that feels like wasted effort when you see the pictures. In real life it looks better, imo. Here again I am trying some OSL, which came out okay. The model is great, painting it as well

The Brass Arachnid is one of the key models that attracted me to a Ramos crew. Its such a cool little thing. I painted it as close to brass colour as I could manage, which is actually gold. But as I used a more shiny gold, it looks a bit like brass. It was quite easy to paint, and I really like the base with it.

The Other totem, Mobile Toolkit, has a less cool appearence imo. It looks fragile (it also is fragile in the game), and I keep messing up the front and back. Now I am posting this I see that I fotographed the back. I again tried some OSL on the eye, you have to believe me on that Do like how the base turned out, the brown looks good.

With the longer light in the evenings, I got to make some better pictures to share.

First off my Large Arachnids. I have two, for my Ramos bomb. I wanted to make them look more like real spiders. Having a pet tarantula, I had a good reference. One I hang upside down, the other holding it's prey. To differentiate them some more, I used slightly different painting schemes. One has orange eyes, the other blue, to tie them to the rest of the crew. I tried a bit of OSL on the lights of the base for the upside down spider.

I am glad how they turned out. They look really neat, and striking on the table.

Very very beautiful! I love the vibrant colours, and the detail on the faces. Not sure if the bases fit the theme, but they do give good contrast for the colours used. So you are working on a Coryphee Duet now?

I find this list to be very useful, not only for myself, but also to point to as a guide for new players. Are there plans to update the list with the Book 4 releases? Maybe there are other good combinations for starters of the box sets of the previous books, and ofcourse Ten Thunders deserve a spot in the list.

The 27th of April there will be a painting Raffle at the Alphen Games Guild. You can enter a single Malifaux miniature into this competition. You are encouraged to use a model you painted for our running Grow League.

Entrees will earn 1 ticket, the winner getting another. There will be a raffle for a price after this painting comp! So come and join us.

Location: De Boterbloem

In the process of giving them a couple of layers of varnish. Well get better pictures later.

I love this! In the current Grow League Ramos has died to Collodi a couple of times, and this might help a lot! Granted my opponent is including Zoraida now, it might not be as good (want to go for 2 gunsmiths + mech rider for that). But still, love it!

It works for other turns as well, as I tend to deploy Ramos as much up front as possible, and not move him till he avatars.

Looking very good! I love the earthly tones, they fit the crew very well.

Looking really good! The weathering goes very nice with the models. Also thanks for the tutorial!

Great table! I love the distillery thing

Again, thanks for the comments. They are inspiring - so I set myself to work on painting. All the models have their base colours and ink now. That allready looks nice on the table. Today I finished my Electrical Creation and Steamborg Executioner.

Going to try and finish all the models for the next clubday, 7 days from now.

Thanks for the kind replies. In the meantime I finished my other LSA. Ofcourse I need two for my Ramos spider bomb ^^

This is really relevant for all Swarm users!

This coming thursday evening I will be at De Tafelridder in Leiden, playing some Malifaux! Everyone is welcome for some games. I will also be available for demo's, if anyone wants.

See you @ De Tafelridder
