Popular Post Nimo Posted June 3, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 Hello everyone, I recently joined this nice community and wanted to share some of my guild miniatures. I start off with some of my first Malifaux Miniatures, I re-shot pictures of today: Hope you like them. More miniatures will follow soon. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RustAndTheCity Posted June 4, 2016 Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 Looking good. I love the white and the basing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimo Posted June 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 Thank you. I'll try to take a few pictures of my other Miniatures soon. For now I have a little Work-In-Progress shot of Grandma Ortega. Assembling finished and started base-design. Next: Filling these little gabs on the hat. The base should be some kind of front porch and I thought it needed a little extra. So I crafted the pillar and the clothesline on it. I hope it will be recognizable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ress is More Posted June 4, 2016 Report Share Posted June 4, 2016 I think adding a pair of socks would make it more recognizable as a clothesline. Love to see the endresult you have a very appealing paintstyle! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimo Posted June 5, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2016 Thanks, socks are an excellent idea. I wonder why I didn't think about it myself. Nice red an whit striped socks, blowing in the wind. I like the picture forming in my head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Nimo Posted June 6, 2016 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 I really like the idea with the pair of socks and after I tested it, I really like the realization. So I couldn't hold back and painted the base first: Next step: Paint Abuela. 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argentbadger Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 Terrific painting all round, but the flame effect (tattoo?) on the Enslaved Nephilim is particularly sweet. That base for Abuela is the best thing though; who would have thought that tiny pants and socks would be so epic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nimo Posted June 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2016 Today I took pictures of a few non-ortega minis. In addition I went out of primer and had to do something other than painting.So I finally finished my first scheme-marker, which I had started a few month ago: 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stark Posted June 12, 2016 Report Share Posted June 12, 2016 Really nice guys! I like the Judges' two-color duster (he looks like Alucard) and fire on Death Marshal - it's pretty rare to see a good red fire on these models) But if you allow me small remark - there should be reflections on the back of duster and I would recommend to do reflections a little wider, because for now they are too local and sharp for such a bright source of light. Though, you models are lovely and I'm looking forward for your new works Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moondog Posted June 13, 2016 Report Share Posted June 13, 2016 Grandma Abuela is ace, love the washing line! haha 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimo Posted June 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2016 Thank you, all. @Stark: You're right. With the other Death Marshals I will keep that in mind and mabye this marshal will be visiting my painting-table again, some day. Over the last day I painted Francisco. Even if I don't like the normal Modell that much, it was time to get him on the gamingtable painted. Maybe I should look out for his alternate Version some day in the future. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
admiralvorkraft Posted June 19, 2016 Report Share Posted June 19, 2016 Gorgeous paint jobs. Unfortunately a good paint job only serves to highlight how terrible Frank's standard model is... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimo Posted June 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 I finished a pistolero this weekend. Build him out of the through the breach character set and with a little sculpting. After I painted him he look very good. The cloth had a nice matt surface. But then I spray matt varnish on him and somehow he got glossy. It worked by my other miniatures before, but with him I must have sprayed a little bit to much ( or the moon was rising in the wrong angle that day, how knows). He's not ruined, but Its annoying to see this glossiness on him. Hope you like him after all 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viruk Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 I love the Pistolero conversion, so full of character. The only thing I'd suggest would be to give the eyes a wash of light brown. You might also try applying a coat of Army Painter Anti-Shine, I managed to save a few minis using it in similar situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimo Posted June 21, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 My matt varnish sadly is Army Painter Anti-Shine. I really don't know what went wrong. Today I applyed a light dust of anti-shine. It helped a little bit, but not mush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LunarSol Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 Matte sprays really require a controlled climate in my experience. They're very unpredictable when used outside. Humidity is the biggest danger as it can create a foggy coat that pretty well ruins the model, but I've had random issues whenever I spray somewhere other than my basement.

Nimo Posted June 22, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2016 I finished Perdita a few minutes ago. Hope you like her. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimo Posted June 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 25, 2016 Sadly, in the near future I don't have enough time for Malifaux Miniatures, because of some other urgend Projects. First we have a little local Blightking-Painting-Contest and than there will be the new Cygnar Battlebox, which want to be painted for a beginner-tournament in July. If you want to have a look at this projects, check out my twitter account, I'll try to stay up to date with WIP: https://twitter.com/Nimo_TopHat After that I'll be back with some more Malifaux Minis (mabye another Death Marshal or a Brutal Effigy) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimo Posted April 6, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 To long I've forgotten to share my latest malifaux miniatures. To catch up on that, I want to start with a few Miniatures of my Reporter Crew, ready to hunt the 100% True News about criminal Arcanists, brutal Neverborn and abominable Necromancers. The Field Reporter I decided to give everyone a little theme to fit the three wave 1 Masters. Two of the three Field Reporters are finished, which are the Ortega Reporter and the one for Lady J. Ortega-Reporter Fearlessly standing in the middle of a gun fight, searching for her notepad to bring the news of the brave famlily. I tried to ad the feeling of a gunfight to the miniature, by sticking some flying bullets, made out of molten plastic and putty, onto the hair and the bag. It's not much and at first glance it may be overlooked, but I like it and think it turned out well. Justis-Reporter Whats working best against zombies ... of course, cutting of the head! ... and who do this better than Lady J herself. So sometimes it could happen that some zombie heads fly past, but our brave reporters take a step back and keep writing down Justice heroic actions The Printing Press I really like Nellies Totem. Its a very nice model and the rules are great. The best act of heroism was tying up Lazarus for a few rounds, whlle he tried desperately to suppress the free press. The adittional newspapers on the base, where made out of thin plasticcard bended with a little bit of heat. The newspaper text was quick fiddly, but I was worth it and turned out quite well. At the moment I'm working on Nellie herself. The next days I'll post some work in progress pics of her. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnin' Coal Posted April 6, 2017 Report Share Posted April 6, 2017 Some great looking models....I really like the way you painted the printing press Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nimo Posted April 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 Thanks, the Printing Press is a very nice modell and paintig it was fun. I have some good news and some bad news (besides the fact that the union is a cruel gang of criminals, exploiting our honest workers). The bad news are: I did not manage to present some work in progress pics of nellie. The good news are: Instead I managed to finish her: The idea was to get a tweed-coat, loosely based on pictures of Nellie Bly (The obvious inspiration for Nellie Cochrane). It was a lot of fun to paint this and I'm very happy how it turned out. The red hat was more or less a succession of Greebo, who pointed out that with the overall grey-brown tweed she would need some more colour and I really like the accent this provides. The Base was designed to support the motion of her, running fowward, further, with some old news she left behind. While I was painting the face, the mad doctor, living in my brain stepped forward an whispered: Maybe it's possible to paint some freckles on this beautiful face, just like in the artwork After that he vanished back to the place where he came from in, with a hysterical laughter echoing through my brain. To cut a long story short. It was possible, with my finest brush and some very thin coats of her skintone, to smooth the dots out. I'm highly pleased how she looks now and I can't wait to get her on the table, to hunt new news and evil threats to the guild. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butch Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 For very small dots I use a sharpend toothpick. Works for me a lot better than my brush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnin' Coal Posted April 10, 2017 Report Share Posted April 10, 2017 Outstanding! Looks so right and the basing is lovely as well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
