I used a crooligan (just like everyone else apparently)° and added greenstuffed scarf and flames:

October already! 

I started working on Mah Tucket and her totem. I am also slowly chipping away at the War Wabbit. That mini is quite big and quite difficult to paint assembled. Well, learn from my mistakes and don't glue those riders, if you get one 😆

In other news I bought lovely Kaeris, so I might try that nice style @Winterbloom used on his Ressers.

And I'd also like to make a display board for the Lacroix, probably from a picture frame. I've never made one, so I am currently debating slots (nicer, more difficult) or no slots (easier for a first board, more versatile). Probably no slots.

This is more of a wishlist than a pledge, I hope to get at least Little Lass done by the end of the month 😆

@Wintergloom I am a huge fan of your Undergraduate models, the colour scheme is very striking. I might try something similar for my Kaeris when she arrives, it's a style I've wanted to try for some time.

As for the bases, the turquoise really pops. I'd also add a turquoise spill on the other one. Or maybe turquoise oxydation on the metal parts/in between the tiles. 

Hmmmm, let's keep it simple. I mostly have just crew boxes and a few extra models, I don't have a complete keyword yet.

PAINTED: Raspy +  Lilith + Ophelia + Pandora (almost there)

UNPAINTED : Colette + Mah + Zoraida + Nekima

WISHLISTED : Reva + Molly + Lady J + Titania + Nightmare Ulix + Kaeris

PLAYED : let's not dwell into this 😅

I see your huge insane pledges and I raise you... One Raphael 😜 

I've worked on him for a fair but since I took the pic at the beginning of the month and I am simultaneously touching up the rest of my finished Lacroix as he's the last from the crew box. I hope to take a nice family shot 😃

On the terrain front, I also pledge a Playmobil gazebo I bought at a flea market for 50 cents 😎

I made quite a good progress at the beginning of the month, but then took a 2-week break. The weather forecast is not very good, so I hope to finish Merriss in the next few days. I decided for a non-green skin tone to bring a bit of variety to my kin crew. No idea how I'll paint the rocket yet.

@lusciousmccabe I can't wait! That's the best teddy. I have one too any my boyfriend claims it gives him nightmares lol

I'm gonna work on these three as their family in the background is getting impatient. I'll have to find some tutorials as my ambition is to paint Merris' wings in NMM. Wish me luck

@PetitDalek i think this goes to @Boomstick , right?

Yes, I am sorry. My brain must have overheated 😅

@misterfinn I really like your Trixie! I struggle to achieve such high contrast, very well done. And you improved on the original pose. Any pointers for painting fast?

@Caedrus You're brave for going with so much red. Those tokens will look excellent on the table!

@Nikodemus Great job. The grey white hair is my favourite part.

@emiba Wow! That's the way to do it  I like the colour scheme you picked for the doctor, very striking.

@Boomstick I like the blue light coming from the gamps in the armor, I'm sure it'll turn great.

As for me, I am still sloooowly, gently painting my Kin crewbox: I am working on Pere Ravage and Rami this month. It's so hot here that paint dries on my wet pallette, which doesn't help matters much, but I keep fighting on! I've also primed Merris and Sammy for August, I must say that I am looking forward to painting Merris, such a fun model. 

I am going to paint ALLL THREE Young Lacroix. Might not seem like much but it's three times what I usually paint. Wish me luck  

Looking forward to seeing everyone's minis! I don't comment much, but I look and like everything. This is easily the best thread on the forum.

@PetitDalek Sweet Ophelia! Are you gonna work on the Young Lacroix. My father's been painting them and they have such great sculpts.

LOL, you are completely right! I am going to paint the three Young Lacroix in June. The French Malifaux community has a challenge of painting three minis for the M3E release and I picked the three totems as it seemed fun and also would net me 6 SS for here. But damn do they have a scale problem! They are gremlin giants 

Great job everyone, this thread is a real motivation! @Viruk, it's very cool that you get to paint new models, I cannot wait to see them.

I did better than last month. I finished BEFORE the last night of the month  

I enjoy painting Gremlins, they are small and the green skin is fun. The only problem was Ophelia's face, she has no sculpted nose and basically no sculpted eyes, so I had to improvise.

My goal for this month is to start picking up my painting speed so I can actually get this Mah crew on the table in a reasonable timeframe. More dramatic highlights, less fussy about the blends.

Yes, that's my goal as well, but I'll have to fight my perfectionism every step of the way 😁

Last month I finished my pledge early, so I had time to start prepping my second-hand gremlins. These models are tiny!!! So this month I hope to maybe finally finish my Pandy pledged in February (that mini is a real struggle, she hates me) and paint as many Lacroix as I can. I've been having difficulties with my back, so I'll see how it goes.

Welcome to the forums! Your Reva is really nice, the tree and candles give a mysterious feel. I've never realized how small she was on her base.

Looking forward to seeing the whole crew

Mature nephilim. He looks to me like he's dancing in a flash mob  

Your blending skills are out of this world! It's nice to see such an original colour scheme.

@misterfinn I salute your research and you did a great job on the painting. With a few exceptions, Malifaux female sculpts tend to have the same body shape.

@Athiko The base starts great, I like the mixed textures.The brick sheet looks useful. Where is it from?

@VirukI am really sorry about your cat. They become such loyal companions and part of our daily lives ❤️Your painting is excellent as always.

@bedjy If you want to paint my minis, I've got plenty of them
