Nimos Guild Miniatures

[Tris]

Great work and good to see some love for the Guild around here

How do you fare so far with them, do you happen to also write about your experiences playing these crews?

 

[Nimo]

Thanks, I'm happy that my miniatures are to your linking.

I tried a toothpick ones, but somehow I could not get the right feel for it, so I switched back to a good old brush.

Maybe some time in the future, I'll write a little bit about my experience (If I'll find some time and motivation). But I'm a better painter, than player or writer, so don't expect to much.

Over the last Month I've finished a few more models:

Death Marshal

I continued to paint my Marshals with "real" fire. I like the ghostrider touch.

The fire came out a little bit more on the orange side than the last one, but I like it that way. It gives a nice contrast to the blue coat.

Pathfinder % Clockwork Traps

Next I finished a pathfinder. I wanted to provide some kind of red uniform to my guardsmen, so I decided to paint the trousers and sleeves in this colour. To get a little bit of this feeling beneath the wild Furr and Leather appearance.

I thought it was kind of boring to assemble all four traps the same way. So I decided to make 2 little conversions. One Trap "hidden" on the ground, ready to strike and one shoot out of the ground, to attack a surprised foe.

Witchling Stalker

The most recent Modell is a Witchling Stalker and I'm quite happy how he turned out. Painting him was some some sort of "happy accident".

I started relatively aimless wet-painting his robe, to get some basic shadows in. And after that, following a mood, I grabed my so called freehand-brush layering thin stripes, to get some rough cloth texture. I really think it worked out.

A little WIP

Currently I am painting this guy:

These are all really really impressive, but I love your marshalls. I don't know a lot about painting techniques but I think the glow from the fire might be called object-source-lighting? Whether it is or isn't, you did an amazing job with that!

[Nimo]

Last week I finish my two roughnecks, to take part as neutral models in the big brawl called first-scenario-of-our-local-malifaux-campaign.

And I want to share the pictures of both with you:

Buddy:

Nobody:

I am quite happy how they turned out. They are painted in a similar technique to the witchling stalker. I'm especially satisfied with the bright parts and their shadows. Normally I don't like to paint bright cloth, but here after a few layers of paint it almost made fun.

A little WIP

Currently I am assembling and painting my campaign crew. Starting with my leader captain Dashel. But somehow I didn't really feel like painting stuff, but more like building some terrain. So as a compromise I did the Base for Dashel first (and maybe did a little bit to much).

I wanted to give it a feeling of a dirty old back alley. With some old boardfence and used, dirty cobblestones. After Dashel is glued in place I'll add some drops of Still water to one or two dents I left on the base.

After his Base, now the sarge himself is finished too.

Im pretty happy with my paintjob. Especially the leather on his back is exactly how I wanted it to be.

Last campaign game he did his best to arrest every Arcanist criminal who was stupid enough to come into sight. Joss stuck under a bridge the whole game, being blocked by a few traps and Dashels summoned Guild Guards. I was a great.

Next thing I'm working on will be Master Queeg. One imprisoned worker kindly made his self available to spice up QUeegs Base.

[Nimo]

Last Weeks I was a little occupied, by finishing my entry for the femme fatal contest. I totally forgot to take pictures of the promised Master Queeg.

Now After I finished my entry, I want to catch up on this.

Becaus Queeg himself is a quite plain (but very nice) Model, I thought he needed some kind of fancy base.

So I decided to stick a worker onto the base. Some friendly arcanist prisoner, who kindly and freely agreed to take part in this little diorama.

The "arcanist" is build out of the ttb-character set. One Sort of Legs had this slightly kneeling pose, so I only had to rework it a little bit to archive my desired result. The mechanical Arm was not part of my plans at first. But after I figured out that all other good left arms had been gone, I had to choose it and now I'm happy with how it turned out.

The paintjob of Queeg should resemble a mix of my guardsmen theme (with the red trousers with black-white stripes at the sides) and some kind of wealthy planter (potrayed by the pinstriped vest).

Holy faux... this is absolutely stunning. You're among my gods of painting.

I like the mechanical arm. There is fluff pertaining to the "rental" of mechanical limbs as they are powered by soulstones. So don't pay your debt for your new arm and someone will come a knocking.
