Popular Post Butch Posted August 19, 2016 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 Hi, I'm a new Malifuax player from germany. I started with the molly box. But before painting the content of the box I wanted to make some color testing on the zombie skin I will use. So the first Minis to paint were some Punk Zombies: lots of skin, and you can't do anything wrong - because they're just zombies. After using a very clean comic stye on my pink Space Wolves, I was very happy to do some weathering and bloddspilling! 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoylentRobot Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 very nice work, the blood splats are great but not over the top Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Butch Posted August 30, 2016 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 The nexte ones I've painted were the crooligans. Much fun to paint. I always struggle after finishing the smooth blendings to continue with the bloodsplatter and dirt. But I like how it turned out. 19 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Feral Posted August 30, 2016 Report Share Posted August 30, 2016 The white streaks in the Crooligan's hair and the Punk's two-tone mohawks are neat! I'm painting a Molly crew too so looking forward to seeing what's next! Philip and the Nanny? Molly herself? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butch Posted September 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 Thanks for your replies! @ New to Wyrd: the mohawks are copied from the box art. But the white streaks came into my maind while painting. I would like to see your paintjobs too. Next will be .... ...the Necrotic Machine! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butch Posted September 4, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 This one was difficult. First the assembly: 20 tiny bits. Coming from GW its like a smith doing brain surgery. And the Necrotic Machine was the model I liked the least in the Molly box. I just couldn't get a feeling for this model. I searched the internet for inspiration, but I found only few well painted Pontos. All of them just some metallics and a wash - and most of them the old model. At least I found a model in this forum, painted in more bright colours. So I had the idea of a machine made of bones. And I wanted to make it look disgusting. If you got nothing to loose, its easy to start. First I tried some wet-in-wet blending. It turned out ok, but not quite the look I imagined. I thought smooth blending would be too much of work, so I thought of something else (how wrong I have been...). Instead of blending, I painted A LOT of small brushstrokes for a bony look. THIS took time! But I liked how it turned out. And with all the time spent with the model I started to like it more and more. The rest was mud, blood and maggots and at last I'm very happy with this model. 20 hours for 2 points - I guess me and army painting would never worked out... 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Feral Posted September 4, 2016 Report Share Posted September 4, 2016 I threw mine in the bin as trying to assemble it was borderline-rage inducing! ? Well done for getting yours done and dusted though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Butch Posted September 9, 2016 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted September 9, 2016 Philip and the Nanny were the reason I started with Molly. A severed zombie head in a pram, pushed by a zombie nanny - who could not fall for this? I'm very happy with the model. I tried a decent OSL (my second), and I'm very happy with the result. Very often you have a very precise picture in your head - and the results never seem to be adequate. But not this time. This looks nearly exact like the picture in my mind I had from the very beginning! Transport issues I procrastinate. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Averlorn Posted September 10, 2016 Report Share Posted September 10, 2016 Looking fantastic! May I ask you how you could get that blue effect on the crooligans? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What blue effect? You mean the clothes? Painted with Scale 75 Colors: Basecolor: Caspian Blue 07 Shadows: Abysal Blue 08 Flat Blck 00 Highlights: Bering Blue 06, Arctic Blue 05 All the colors mixed beginning with the basecolor and more and more into the shadows/lights with blending techniques. Maybe there's a littte Black Leather 32 mixed in the shadows too. This is the color wich I mix in most of the other colors to bend them all together. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mister Feral Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 There's a little rat on the base I only just spotted. Great work! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redbadger84 Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 Love the look, how did you make the bases? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnin' Coal Posted September 11, 2016 Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 Awesome is a word much overused....but here absolutely appropriate...palette,brushwork,basing (and especially with Necrotic Machine) model making - just superb...have already spent ages looking at it all and look forward to seeing whatever you do next 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butch Posted September 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 @ Mister Feral: there're some on the Crooligan's an Punk Zombie bases too. @ redbadger84: the bases, lamppost, rats, skulls and bottles are from tabletop arts. The mud ist mud from my garden. The maggots are caraway and cumin. @ Burnin' Coal: Wow! Best comment to read on a monday morning! Next one will be Molly. After that terrain for a while.

Butch Posted September 25, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 I totally forgot to post Molly. She was much fun to paint. The hard part was putting dirt and blood on her dress. After all the blending I always struggle "destroying" it - but who likes clean zombies? 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandmann Posted September 25, 2016 Report Share Posted September 25, 2016 Very nice painting on Molly! One nitpick though: her face loks kinda undefined... might be just the picture. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Butch Posted September 26, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2016 Thanks for your comment. I think its a bit of both: painting and picture. The face definately looks better than shown on the picture. But with the arm in front of it, it wasn't easy to paint. Coming from GW I still struggle a bit with the fine detail and small faces of Malifaux miniatures too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argentbadger Posted September 27, 2016 Report Share Posted September 27, 2016 Nice work! The lamp on Philip and The Nanny is really well done, and I like the way you've made the miniatures look dirty while keeping a clean style. If I did that it would look like I had just flicked paint randomly at them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
