Kasrkin Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 Hi folks, As an absolute newbie with a shallow understanding of what Malifaux is about, I thought I would show some of what I've painted to see what you think about it. I'm drawn to two things in wargaming -uniforms and cavalry- so the Guild was the only choice for me! So far I've painted three riflemen who I have attempted to make more colourful than what I normally see for these miniatures. I'm not sure about the result- I keep seeing blue and red Guild uniforms and wonder if green is too big a departure from their established colour schemes, especially when I think of painting Guards in green coats. What do you think? 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SpiralngCadavr Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 Cool stuff, and I don't think the green is out of place... I really haven't seen many people care that much about "fluffy colors," and Malifaux illustrations often have heavy color filters over them anyways. The red looks a little too strong, but the rest looks nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loveless Posted October 10, 2014 Report Share Posted October 10, 2014 I like it! The green is "GW studio Dark Eldar" in tone, but that's not a criticism - it looks great! I also really like the red - I'd say the strong tone is a benefit as I find a lot of people over-mute their reds. Nice work - looking forward to seeing more!

Clawz Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 Rule of Cool: If it looks good, don't bother too much with fluff or whatnot! Beautiful colours. Who knows; what we know of the Malifaux universe suggests that there's wilderness, and green's better than denim-blue for camo! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NIGHTHATER Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 Kasrkin, Im a stickler for uniforms and division colors as well and I think you're good with the green. Since the riflemen are like guardsmen elite troops they can stray away from the reds, blues, and grays on the others easily. Your rifle men just try better to blend in with there wilderness environment like CLAWS said above. They are rare 3 models that are hunters so I buy green for forest/wilderness missions. These models are awesome looking and you should be proud to field them. Nighthater Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zFiend Posted October 11, 2014 Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 Looks great. Also my whole Rezzer faction is pink, it all started with Seamus.. don't worry about the fluff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasrkin Posted October 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 11, 2014 Thanks for your comments and input folks! Yes I am probably thinking about uniforms and organisation too much lol but I can't help it! I've decided to give it some time, move on to paint some other models and maybe come back to the Riflemen later. Once I buy some Guard the it'll be easier to view the Rifleman uniform as a wilderness variant. I'm currently painting the mounted Lucas McCabe, very nice miniature to paint! Couldn't resist converting him to be pointing with a sabre rather than a whip :-D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kasrkin Posted October 13, 2014 Author Report Share Posted October 13, 2014 I've finished Lucas McCabe and his steed, this time I went for dark blue with a small amount of red. I think he's come out looking a bit Prussian... Really enjoyed painting this model. I wish there were more miniatures mounted on horses in this range! And with his men: Sadly the pictures are dark, but that's due to me not having a good light source at the mo. Hopefully I can rectify that soon. Next I'll paint the dismounted version, followed by either Wastrels or Luna. Metal Guild Guard do look awesome tho... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
