Treemonkey Posted August 28, 2018 Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 Done before the month's last day...a true rarity for me! Here's Lenny Cena (9) and a Mechanized Porkchop (6) for a total of 15 points! 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lusciousmccabe Posted August 29, 2018 Report Share Posted August 29, 2018 I like the blue steel on the Porkchop. Makes it look a lot more interesting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnin' Coal Posted August 30, 2018 Report Share Posted August 30, 2018 @Treemonkey Porkchop looks great and blue Lenny makes for a very welcome alternative take on Gremlins @Franchuteyour painting goes from strength to strength - @Viruk got it spot on regarding your choice of palette and subtle tones because that Kentauroi is my favourite of any I've seen @Purple Mist all the time and effort you put into the hoarcat bases was worth it - they look excellent @Viruk quality and quantity- I just don't know how you do it but am glad you do as I always look forward to your models and paint schemes For myself almost a month away from home meant that I was certainly a bit rusty when I picked up a brush again but have put a few hours in and all being well one of my Shikome should appear before midnight to keep me in the Challenge 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Caedrus Posted August 31, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 Caedrus, checking in. So, I had a truly chaotic month. I had grand painting plans, and then life got in the way. I painted three miniatures, and basecoated about 75 more. Essentially, I lost my mind and decided to repaint my Guild Guard (and Austringers, Riflemen, etc). in the new, flashy red outfits as shown in the latest TTB artwork. That meant experimenting with reds. A combination of Vallejo Model Air Ferrari Red, Scalecolor's Inktense Red, and Reaper Clear Red, I had these two guys complete (just)!: Secondly, I completed an eBay rescue, being a Desolation Engine. I had fun with this mini. It featured some airbrush basecoats, and messing around with NMM (I'm still not great at it, but the brass on the back isn't too bad), and some pseudo-heat effects, which were easy and fun. A very enjoyable miniature, this one. @Franchute: Desolation Engine (13) + 2x Guild Guard (6) = 19 Points for August! It's been sad to see so many painters not able to continue, but I'm in here for the long haul. Keep putting paint to plastic, and I'll see you in September! Caedrus. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chou Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 I'm going to copy Caedrus and check in, and tonight I will update it with pictures. This month I've painted the three Oxford Mages, who survived a horrible encounter with a mal functioning primer spray, then I jumped for a moment to the Ten Thunders to paint Mei Feng with my first attempt of MNM, then back again to Arcanists and painted Joss (my second attempt for the MNM). Here are a couple of pictures of Mei Feng and Joss in progress. In retrospective the transitions in Joss' axe are quite rough but well... It stays like this so when I came back to it I can see what to do, what not to do and (hopefully) my progression with the MNM. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H4ml3t Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 @Franchute Looks like I'll be using my 2nd Mulligan this month. Gonna have to get in gear for the rest of the year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strangely Brown Posted August 31, 2018 Report Share Posted August 31, 2018 2nd Mulligan for me too @Franchute; turns out both me and my partner starting new jobs in the same month whilst the kids are on school holidays had an impact on my painting time - who would've guessed? Will be aiming for a more modest target for the remaining months - but I'm definitely going to get there. 'Brown 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Franchute Posted September 1, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 @Burnin' Coal it looks amazing. It is probably one of the best shikome I've seen together with Visna's edit: btw I'm downgrading you to enforcer so that you can stay in the challenge. The good news is that it means that you have one extra mulligan too 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnin' Coal Posted September 1, 2018 Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 @Franchute thanks for the kind words...took me a lot longer than I initially imagined because I was working on the companion one at the same time to keep the base colours matching...once I finish the other one in September's Challenge I'll try and get a better quality shot of them together.....and thanks for rearranging me to Enforcer as I really enjoy all this 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prof_bycid Posted September 1, 2018 Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 (edited) An hour and a half to go, and I too am just coming in under the wire. Ended up with something work-related every other evening this week and so had to speed-paint tonight. Oh well, I should know better than to leave things for the final week. These 2 steamfitters bring me to 17 SS: 2 x 6 SS steamfitters + 5 SS crates terrain. Cheers all.

Burnin' Coal Posted September 1, 2018 Report Share Posted September 1, 2018 @Chou Joss especially looks great...personally I struggle with NMM and have only tried it on small details so if that is your first attempt then my hat goes off to you as it's very impressive @Caedrus Had time to catch up now....I really like your Desolation Engine - the flesh tones look excellent.....the Guardsmen too very much look the part...I haven't seen the artwork you mention but they've changed colour have they ?....like you I spent ages deciding on a dark blue/green for all my Guild riflemen etc but I'm not stripping them down....and now that Jakob Lynch (who lots of my NB models are based around - so quite a few dollars invested and a lot of hours in painting time) is not appearing as a master in 3e then I think my road into Malifaux may well be coming to an end and will remain forever in 2e 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Joachim Posted September 2, 2018 Popular Post Report Share Posted September 2, 2018 Hello guys, so as promised I'm still going to post what I've done last month, even though I used my three mulligans. So I'm excited cause I finally had more time to paint. I'm trying to finish my Kirai crew asap so I can field her fully painted. I also wanted to do something extra with the bases. I found these stone face bits online and I really like the feel it gives to the crew. I also finished details on Kirais dress, although I finished the rest of her months ago. Painted two onryo and the emissary. Let me know what you guys think! Planning to finish my lampads next month and mayb I'll start on the goryo. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Strangely Brown Posted September 2, 2018 Report Share Posted September 2, 2018 @Joachim these look fantastic, congratulations! Can you tell me the technique you used for the emissary's robes? It looks exactly what I wanted to achieve on my Gaki. Well done once again, lovely work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks man, That is indeed what i also did for my gaki, ill post a picture if you want. I paint the robe in a very light brownish gray. Basically white with a toch of black and a touch of reddish brown. I then highlight it up to pure white. Finally, i apply thinned down sepia ink and whipe it down with a piece of paper towel. This way you wipe the ink off of the higher surfaces. Wiping also creates a really dirty effect. You'll to apply ink 2 or 3 times though. The first time the result is kind off disappoiting as the ink only sticks well to the surface the 2nd application. Enjoy! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joachim Posted September 2, 2018 Report Share Posted September 2, 2018 @Strangely Brown Here you go! As you can see on the gaki, I went even darker on the bottom of the robes, so you put a transition in the base layer from white at the top to greybrown at the bottom. I also added some additional stippling with a dark brown where you want to apply some effects in a more controlled fashion. (Bases aren't finished in this picture.) 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
