Like double A seven, I painted up Amina Naidu. I really need to practice a lot on painting faces. This one was made a bit tricky with a slightly pebbled primer surface, but still aim to work on developing this next. I have a good book on model painting I need to carve out some time to read. The massive Grootslang was done last week. So my October total sits at: 15 SS = Amina (9) + Grootslang (6)

Thanks, Franchute! That rock under Asura looks real.

I have finished the Grootslang for the first part of my October pledge. This was a really fun one to try some new techniques with. I can't believe he actually dwarfs that massive base that I thought was going to be way too large for any model (but had to have nonetheless). Over a week to finish the last model? Unheard of!

@Caedrus Beautiful work on the flesh tones on the Construct.

I found these 'office supplies' for Ramos' office upstairs in the spider factory. I will likely set these up in the corner up there. The plan with the many plastic bottles and flasks is to drill out the bottom and then paint the inside so that they show coloured liquid while retaining the outer 'glass.' May need to make some large bookshelves to hold some of the stuff. Not sure how much progress I will make on this board right now with the monthly painting challenge, but the holidays are coming and that comes with a lot of Malifaux progress.

Welcome back, @SilentSeeker ! This has been one of my favourite threads to follow over the past few years. Glad you are back at it. The board is amazing.

Grootslang's base is done! Now waiting for the humidity to drop in a few days so I can prime the beast itself and Amina without pebbling the surface. Happy painting everyone.

@Boomstick Is that Gaki doing the worm? Love it!

October already! It feels like I was just painting for the monthly challenge yesterday. This month I will tackle the Grootslang and Amina Naidu. With the Grootslang, I finally have a model to put on the 50 mm Wyrd sewer base that will not be lost in the massiveness of this base (which I love, BTW Wyrd). Cheers all.

Darn! I really should know better. 25 SS for September, Franchute. Edit: Sorry, @Franchute. I made the dumb assumption that henchmen were 10 SS when I should have gone to the binder and looked up Firestarter's cost. Glad you caught that for me.

My Kaeris and proxy Firestarter are done. The lighter-coloured features got washed out in the sunlight which is a bit of a bummer as I was happy with most of them. Ended up finishing on the last day possible again. This working thing sucks. Cheers, all. Prof_bycid.

I managed to get Kaeris to hover above her sewer base. Even the piano wire wasn't going to be rigid enough, so I drilled into her model, drilled through the stone wall, and then cut the drill bit to shape and super-glued it in as the support. Should hold. I just have a few touch-ups on the base, and then the details on Kaeris. Cheers all.

Those look great, caedrus, but are listed as out of stock. Thanks, though! I picked the Wyrd sewer bases, as one has a short brick wall at the back that should be just the right height to hold some piano wire that will allow Kaeris to hover.

A work-in-progress picture of my September pledge of Kaeris and her new buddy alt-Firestarter. I am still searching for the right base for Kaeris. I want to try to have her coming in for a landing, just a bit off the ground, so I need something with a tall feature to support her from behind but not so massive that it dominates the scene. One of the new Wyrd cemetery bases could work, but haven't decided if it is a bit too rezzer for her. Happy painting everyone!

This is a great idea for a board! I will be sitting here staring at the screen, awaiting updates. Still waiting ...

My buddy @embitteredsoul picked it up for me at Gen Con. It is rocketgirl by Privateer Press. Can't rush this one.
