odinsgrandson Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 Here is a project I got to do recently- it isn't Malifaux, but I figured people here would appreciate it. This is an ordo Xenos inquisitor along with his retinue. The idea for the greyscale and green color scheme was my client's, and I really think it works nicely on these sculpts. So that you all know, the inquisitor is a conversion using a few non-GW parts and some dark eldar bits. The other mini you might not recognize is a Necromunda Spyrer Hunter (Malchadon). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
*Jack* Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 These look seriously good. Nice use of the different types (hues?) of grey. Green is a great focal point, but a complete black/white unit would be great to see. Make it look like its out of an old war movie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vaiuri Posted August 7, 2014 Report Share Posted August 7, 2014 Really like the inquisitor, the dark eldar plastics are so fun and versatile! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best greyscale I ever saw was on a historical diorama- it portrayed WW2 soldiers fighting around a bridge and really had that '40s film look to it. In this case, the plan was more of a Sin City approach- and the truth is, the green gives me a lot of control over the centers of interest. But I bet I could do something grand with just black and white. I'll need to pick the right mini for it. Maybe something that looks like it is from a '50s science fiction film.

dmeep Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 how did you do the helmet btw? is it white blended to green and then painted the diamonds presenting it with a pattern or black with a grid on top with the lines from white to green?

I started with black and painted the lines over the top, layering up. I cleaned up the black a bit, and blended things together with a bit of glazing.

Math Mathonwy Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Very nice! Very nice work with the placement of the greens. Really clever!I think I like the Spyrer the best. The details pop very nicely in a relatively complicated sculpt with just the few colours used.My only criticism is that the bases are a bit boring. I realize that this is likely according to the client's wishes but I still feel that some bigger rocks at least would've livened them up quite a bit. Or maybe some grey grass For inspiration on black and white painting, this is pretty crazy awesome:http://www.dragonpainting.org/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=3718 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
