twibs Posted August 13, 2017 Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 Hi there. I started painting my TenThunders faction around half a year ago and I'd like to think I've been rather prolific. Painting is not new to me since I transferred from the GW side and while I do occasionally still dabble in 40K, Malifaux is my one and only love. While most of my figs aren't showcase material, some of them turned out to be rather nice. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twibs Posted August 13, 2017 Author Report Share Posted August 13, 2017 I realize it's rather alot of pics on one go, but I'd though to get you up to date. Hopefully by the end of the year I'll have the whole faction in colors. Suggestions, techniques, critisism and general 'oh wow' is more than appreciated.

tmod Posted August 21, 2017 Report Share Posted August 21, 2017 I like how you use darker colours, the black on the Jorogumo is great. Also your photography is amazing! :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also your photography is amazing! :-) Thanks for your time to reply. My blacks tend to be just several layers of bacl/dark inks, I find it gives me more realistic shadows on the figure. And while I do try to put some extra effort on my photos (actual camera, positioning, photoshop filters) you might be the first one to take note of it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tmod Posted August 23, 2017 Report Share Posted August 23, 2017 Cool, it looks good! I can't remember being able to discern single metal pigments in miniatures ever before, except under a huge magnifying glass. Impressive how close and "big" you get your photos...

Piccio Posted August 28, 2017 Report Share Posted August 28, 2017 what I like: -yasunori (I really like it) and emissary are really nice. Good Job! -yin and komainu are simple but the effect is really good. -obsidian "skin" is really nice also -McCabe horse what I don't like: -eyes: if you really want to paint eyes including pupil I suggest you to try to follow some online guides ( for example http://massivevoodoo.blogspot.it/2010/05/tutorial-painting-eyes.html) -sometimes the use of inks on vest (example on shenlong peons, chiaki). If you want to take a look of some of mine: https://www.instagram.com/piccio_83 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hungryp Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 There's some nice work in here. But also some googly eyes . The tutorial in the link is good stuff, but could be more simply stated. Instead of dotting colour in the middle of a white eye, paint the eye colour you want, then carefully work white in from the sides. This one little fix will bring the eyes up to the level of the rest of your painting. Keep up the good work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikodemus Posted August 29, 2017 Report Share Posted August 29, 2017 I prefer not to paint eyes but I think they look ok for "quick tabletop" standard when I do. Felt this video was good help: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dhH-GWvHG00 tldr: dot black, dot white inside black, dot/line black across the white, slightly off-centre closer to the nose. Below couple of my eyes: https://cf.geekdo-images.com/images/pic3719116.jpg - https://cf.geekdo-images.com/images/pic3719115.jpg Definitely check out Massive Voodoo if you want to paint stuff up real nice.

twibs Posted September 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2017 Thanks guys. I feel that when I get next model that actually has human eyes I really need to concentrate on that one. But in the meantime little update. Akaname are just soooo cute. Also with the mega technique from Yasunori I was encouraged to try the same on Yokai, who are the flicker masters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

twibs Posted September 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 Hello. During my vacation I decided to finish my long term project, a battlefield-in-a-case. Of course my figs need a "homebase", which will be abandoned soulstone mine near a sabotaged railway. The case folds into a neat carryon case and has a separate backside which is attached with clips during transportation. This is my second 3x3 battlefield and I must say it's much more nice to work on than the warhammer's 4x6 size. This image showcases *ba-dum-tsih* the travel mode of my table. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Littlewicked Posted September 19, 2017 Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 Simply amazing. Love love love the waterfall. I have never seen anything like it. Great job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veefy Posted September 19, 2017 Report Share Posted September 19, 2017 Wowzers this case looks glorious! Great hell of a job! I may not be a fan of the cotton in the waterfall but everything else is incredible. It has inspired me to attempt to make one with my father. What kind of wood did you use? If you dont mind me asking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chou Posted September 20, 2017 Report Share Posted September 20, 2017 Everything in that case is amazing, but the waterfall it's even better! Congrats! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may not be a fan of the cotton in the waterfall but everything else is incredible. It has inspired me to attempt to make one with my father. What kind of wood did you use? If you dont mind me asking It's just pretty much planed timber (had to look up the term), about 2 cm by 10 cm, which I cut in shape with circular saw and then added the notches for the plywood "covers" to snugly fit in and then my sister did the staining and varnish, since she's in the business of that. Apparently easier to do herself than try and guide me through it. The finished product certainly looks almost professional. I know the waterfall is a real eye catcher, but I'm almost more proud of the bridge, which is also made almost from scratch, only the actual rails and wooden planks are from a set, though heavily modified. Thank you all though, it's nice to hear that you appreciate my insanity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
