Great job everyone! Lovely work on display as always

This is going to be my first mulligan, I didn't have the courage to paint. Hopefully I'll get back on track next month, I even bought Titania's box.

Colette broke her ankle...again.....aaaaaaaarghhfhhhh.... the front leg too or it wouldn't be fun. 

Anyway....

I bought the crew second hand, the two doves on curtains were already based, I take no credit. Colette had already been converted too.

I based only the third dove on the spirally thingies. I found them on the floor of my father-in-law's workshop, I believe he was drilling holes in metal. He was glad I had use for them, he though they looked cool too  

@Chou Can't wait to see your Reva crew. I am a big fan of her crew.

I wanted to paint something colourful, so I primed a rooster rider. They are fun models.

Two weeks ago, I randomly found Lilith's avatar at a mini store, so I bought it. That thing was almost impossible to glue together, but it's done. I haven't decided yet, if I'll add wings on Lilith, might look nice.

It comes from a adeptus mechanicus model from gw.
thank you for the kind words !

Your coryphee looks absolutely amazing! Will the whole crew get converted to fit? Could be a great project. 

I see that Kaeris stuff is popular this month. I pledge to finish my fire gamins. I am NOT stripping those tiny bastars again. Anything more will be a bonus :D

@bedjy that pig looks yummy! Amazing job, it looks totally realistic and now I am hungry for some bacon. How did you achieve the texture?

@Rathnard Those are some cool models! Great job. I've never seen them painted before, you really made them come alive.

Caedrus, reporting in!

Hello, I want to pledge Enforcer like last year. 6 SS should be doable even though I started painting Mansion of Madness on the side.

@Antinea@Yore Huckleberry

Yes, I mixed some Greenstuff and flattened it inside the base. Then I rolled a textured roller pin over it. The main downside was that some Green stuff spilled over from being flattened and I had to cut it away to keep the edges clean.

.@Antinea I had a good look at your lovely Viks again and now I see you did the bases just like me The sheet method sounds like a great solution, but I'd have to find good size steel punches somewhere. Where did you get yours?

Starting 2020 with bases for my crazy pyromaniac crew. It was my first time working with GreenStuffWorld textured rollers and I like them a lot. The results aren't as elaborate as store-bought resin bases, but you can make as many as you want in any size.

A good idea for tiny Malifaux legs is pressing the model's legs into the Green stuff while it's still soft, making the contact point for gluing bigger. I did this for Kaeris and it worked very well. Her base is the one in top left corner.

All that said, 0 SS so far lol

P.S. If someone has a good trick to apply yellow I'll be interested to know it

Yellow is one of the more difficult colours to paint, but what works is applying yellow over a white base. Paint the area with a well-covering white/beige, you can even apply highlights and shading. Then paint over with yellow. You'll get a nice vibrant yellow.

Welcome everyone! Let's start the 2020 optimistic!

I pledge:

The eternal flame (it's already pretty advanced)
2 or 3 fire gamins (I need to decide how many I want to build, they are still NoS)

And as that will finish my current Wildfire keyword I will hopefully advance on Colette's crew, so I pledge
2 mannequins

I got  two GreenStuffWorld rollers for Xmas, so I will experimant with bases for my Kaeris crew. I might also start another random mini, I have quite a lot laying around. I don't think I'll get more organized in 2020, I'm too old for that , so we'll see at the end of the month😂

@lusciousmccabe Those MDF houses are THIRSTY. What works for me is a base coat of paint mixed with a bit of water and cheap wood glue. However, I use only brushes and I don't think it'd work with an airbrush.

@emiba that's lovely! Yes, I imagine something like that with a bit more grey in it. Most people paint her very dark, but I like the white horse look.  We seem to have similar tastes 👍 

@Nikodemus It's fun to see Barbados in shiny flashy armour. Your NMM looks good, not an easy feat to paint all that metal. Kaeris and her crew will get bases later. The boxes are just a piece of scatter terrain to keep her standing as she isn't pinned. I might try to greenstuff some cobblestones or factory debris for the crew.

I am in!  Otherwise I wouldn't get anything finished. There are too many WIP's lying around my desk and the challenge makes me finish at least some of them. 

As for introduction: let me start with a confession. I've played exactly one demo game of Malifaux. One. Ehm. However, that doesn't stop me from building thematic crews and terrain and sloooooowly painting them.  I am a huge fan of the Malifaux minis and the lore, so the hobby aspect keeps me happily occupied. Who knows, I might even get to play one of my crews in 2020? 😆

I started working on Kaeris, so I hope to finish her. I always see her painted all clean, but I am trying a weathered wings + distressed leather coat look. I saw that @Viruk was painting one too, so no pressure at all 😂 I'll try to get her totem done too, all rusty and greasy. 

@emiba I can't wait to see your Reva. I finally snatched one in September, but I am too afraid to touch her. I have a colour scheme in  mind, but it's challenging as I've never even painted a horse before.

Good luck everyone, only one more month to go! 

And huge thanks to @Caedrus for taking care of this great challenge. It keeps me motivated to work alongside fellow painters.
