Kimberly Posted February 1, 2018 Report Share Posted February 1, 2018 Some of these will be painted in February. Maybe not all of them, but at least 11ss will. Working on my first commission job ever! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Behold the 36 parts that make up the 3SS Steam Trunk! I salute your modeling fortitude. I put the left track assembly together and then decided I'd just let my poisoned Freikorps burn. I'll finish the Nothing Beast this weekend in all likelihood but my real pledge is Miss Terious for 6SS. I can already tell she's going to be a pain to prep. Terrible casting offset. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MunkyMuddFace Posted February 1, 2018 Report Share Posted February 1, 2018 February's pledge shall be more Horror toys for Molly! One each of the Students and a Draugr! 27SS, I believe, after adjusting the cost on the students due to errata. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phinn Posted February 1, 2018 Report Share Posted February 1, 2018 This month I decided to pledge my first Stitched Together. I played them only once so far but always liked the model. I usually play more or less the same models so it would be nice to have a little bit more diversity 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leveticus will pay me later, or so he says. The waifs count as 5 soulstones each. Moreover, even if they are totems, I dont think they are so fast to paint. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetitDalek Posted February 1, 2018 Report Share Posted February 1, 2018 In no particular order in the close future paint metal Candy and Kade paint three metal Sorrows finally finish Raspy's pants, ideally learn to paint denim, make her a cool base and call it a day try Green stuff for the first time and build a Hooded Rider from a GW armored horse and a Crooligan build Iggy from another Crooligan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franchute Posted February 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2018 @Burnin' Coal thanks for the tip on the book. I have been commenting to ny wife I should buy a colour theory book for months but I didnt know which one to buy. It might be my next amazon purchase. Do you have any other book you would recomend for miniature painting? I could recomend a couple I have but they are both in French. @PetitDalek I liked the following tutorial to paint denim. Given that we may share the same mother tongue, you may want to have a look: http://code660066.blogspot.cl/2017/02/tutoriel-peindre-des-jeans.html?m=1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnin' Coal Posted February 1, 2018 Report Share Posted February 1, 2018 @Franchute...the Johannes Itten book is hardcore theory...not sure if it is currently in print Itten, Johannes, and Birren, Faber (1970). The Elements of Color: A Treatise on the Color System of Johannes Itten Based on His Book The Art of Color. New York: Van Nostrand Reinhold. ISBN 0-442-24038-4 For miniature painting in earnest I started with Kevin Dallimore's book published by Foundry and that got me underway in 28mm (still have a small lead mountain to prove it 😉)....Malifaux however is all together a different proposition and to be honest I've learnt and thought about things more since I started this challenge last year than I could have ever have gotten from twenty books in any language Will post February's pledge tomorrow evening 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purple Mist Posted February 2, 2018 Report Share Posted February 2, 2018 My February Pledge: Lilith (15ss) plus 3 Terror Tots (4ss x 3). Overall value 27ss, for a Master Level Pledge.

Shock & Awe Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 @Franchute, @Burnin' Coal - Don't know if you've looked/found that book yet, but you don't need to "purchase" it. The PDF and the work itself are in the public domain now. https://monoskop.org/images/4/46/Itten_Johannes_The_Elements_of_Color.pdf Before you go paying for a book you don't have to 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post RustAndTheCity Posted February 3, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 I finished painting the taxidermist for 7ss. I'll hopefully get another model or more done this month. The taxidermist had a few little conversions to have the frilly shirt and treasure map to match the pirate crew theme. 17 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Joachim Posted February 3, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 Hello guys, I've managed to already finish a model, get some work done on the effigy, and I'm finishing up the conversion of the hooded rider and getting him ready to prime and paint. I have 7 days left for the tournament so let's hope I finish in time. to @whodares for letting me paint his effigy, lilitu (and barbaros) and letting me use them in the upcoming tournament. Hooded rider is thinking: if yasunori can fly, why can't I. Funny thing is I actually played him on wednesday and for a minute thought I had flight ... Wip on the mysterious effigy. Trying to use the same colors as I used for my other (aka turquoise and german grey) Lilitu is finished (7ss). Fun and quick mini to paint. Matched the paint scheme of barbaros (January). 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rikk Posted February 3, 2018 Report Share Posted February 3, 2018 So having had a mad bit of inspiration I have almost finished Wong already. also working on a young LaCroix and Raphael. pics tonight when I get home. bit concerned I’m now painting mini s from 3 different crews so need to calm down and get one finished and then move to the rest or else I’ll be gaming with half painted crews all year. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordZombie Posted February 4, 2018 Report Share Posted February 4, 2018 I didn't anything done on my pledge for last month, I figured I wouldn't but hoped I would. So I am just going to carry it over to this month. I am hoping to get more free time soon, and use that time for painting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjgreenway Posted February 4, 2018 Report Share Posted February 4, 2018 Here's what I'll be working on this month - pretty much all of the 2 player starter set and some more Guild models. Since taking the picture I've made a start on one of the Bloodwretch's, Angel Eyes and Dr Grimwell and nearly finished the second Witchling Stalker, so progress is being made - I honestly think I'll smash my target this month (although I haven't checked the Stalker since waking up today and I was very tired painting last night due to a late night trip to the hospital with my pregnant wife in monsoon conditions - all's well and good now though ). Despite initially deciding on Parker Barrows as my main Master and Outcasts as my faction, I seem to be far more enthused about painting up my Guild and Neverborn guys, so we'll have to see how that pans out over the coming months. I had my first game with Sonnia yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed playing her (despite losing badly!), so if I carry on as I'm going, it looks like her and Perdita will be my main choices to start with and I'll save Parker for when the wife wants to play (she always picks Sonnia ). Which is cool, I seem to be set on a colour scheme for the Guild now, which will run through the entire faction, so it makes sense to plough on with those guys. My only issue so far this month is regretting undercoating the Neverborn guys black - I was initially going to go with much darker colours on the Bloodwretch's before deciding at the last minute that they'd suit unfashionably garish bright shirts. I may regret that one by the time the month's out! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prof_bycid Posted February 5, 2018 Report Share Posted February 5, 2018 Time to post a February pledge. Many things on the plastic to-do pile, so I am pledging the minimum for my level this month. War pig (9SS) & a corrupted hound (3 SS)---can't have too many beasts, after all. @Burnin' CoalThat taxidermist is excellent! Every time I see one of your finished models it reinforces in my mind that I need to expand my color palette and dial up the contrast. And practice more. ... forgot to upload photo before writing post. Is it just me that always does this? Please stand by ... Thanks for the correction Burnin' Coal! The taxidermist I mentioned was by indeed by Rust and the City. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really challenging to smoothly transition through a big gradient. I've been trying to use more colors on my models as well as I tend to use a lot of black, white and grey. Burnin' Coal, I think you mentioned how quick I got the taxidermist done. I worked on him after finishing Zipp in January, so about 10 days or so. He just happened to be finished quickly at the start of the month. It's taking me about 5 evenings of painting per model. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
