Purple Mist Posted August 21, 2018 Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 Layering the snow. Just added some more snow, ice and water stuff. Guss bases look better now. Hoarcat prototype! Last challenge: permanently mounting the figure over the finished base. I bought some acrylic glue for glass. May be using the glue mixed with the stuff used to create water will help to cement the model to the base. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are few people till taking part to the challenge. Posting more pics and more often is the only way to keep the the thread alive. I have a question as regard Kentauroi. How many models have been released by Wyrd? I know 3 models are included in the official box. I'm not sure a 4th model was released as a montly promotion. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rikk Posted August 21, 2018 Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 I’ll get some WIP up later, work has been busy so only got terrain done this month - will try and do some minis before month end Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prof_bycid Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 @Purple Mist Those bases are going to be perfect for the Hoarcats. The glass looks great. BTW: play a few of these against a gremlin crew if you want instant hilarity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a Kentauroi box somewhere. I was supposing there're 4 Kentauroi inside it because of the promotion label on the box. Soon or later I'll get a chance to have it again in my hands for a deep check. But I fear I placed it into a large card box and placed it all high over my painting table. So it is a very risky manouver to try grabbing it while I have minis and painting stuffs on the table. Guess I'll have to wait till the time (some year far in the future?) I'll was inspired to put some order on the table. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi, I use Vallejo water effects, approx £10 a bottle from Amazon. It’s ok, needs thin layers, 3-4 days dry time and then layer and then repeat. Thicker layers I have found goes very cloudy and doesn’t always settle, leaving a white tinge after curing if I’ve done a too thick layer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Purple Mist Posted August 24, 2018 Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 @Rikk, I already used it. I'm not happy with the results I got. May be I was wrong with the drying time of the layers. Now I'm using "Realistic Water" by Secret Weapons. It's more expensive and I had to wait for shipping from USA but I'm getting more brilliant and transparent layers. Going to post some picture as regard with the treemen I pledged current month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purple Mist Posted August 24, 2018 Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 Full pledge value for the current month: 33SS. You can consider it my definitive score for the month. Next days, I'll put hands on some minis I'm working on but surely I'll get not chance to paint it to completion. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purple Mist Posted August 24, 2018 Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 Just now, Franchute said: This is January's errata. Ahhh! OK ,thanks. Then, we can say I tallied 30ss for the current month. For me few ss points more or less does not matter. It's important to get fun painting minis. It's also true I'm not playing Malifaux since a long time, so I missed updates. Guess, at present I'm not the best player, but properly the only one going after Malifaux here! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franchute Posted August 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2018 @Purple Mist No problem. I took the final pictures of my kentauroi. I changed the black background for a grey one: The kentauroi puts me at 27ss. 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viruk Posted August 25, 2018 Report Share Posted August 25, 2018 @Franchute I really dig your kentauroi, very nice control on the choice of colors, just the right proportion of highlights, not too strong, not to smooth. And the base is elegant too, the way brighter shade of mud is gathered around grass makes it look much more vibrant. 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanna say it looks undead! What about the base? Which shades od colour did you use under the water stuff? It looks so realic as a swamp. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It looks so realic as a swamp. I simply start painting the base with a dark green: GW Caliban green. Then I paste my grass and my stones. Then I add Viruk's mixture of GW nurgle rot and Vallejo still water: I'm not sure, maybe two or three thin layers. The grass tends to "suck" the mixture; that's why it gathers around it like this. And finally I put two layers of pure still water. Sometimes I try some other variants with brown, but this recipe is the last version I'm playing with. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prof_bycid Posted August 26, 2018 Report Share Posted August 26, 2018 (edited) My first mini to be finished this month is the crates terrain. I may go back some day in the future and add some green wire to the ivy vine---the leaves work great with this Army Painter feature, but when there are clumps spread apart I think it would benefit from making the central vines more visible. Calling it done for now for the first 5 SS of the month. 2 Steamfitters still to come. Cheers all. @Franchute: those Kentauri are just amazing. I think I can smell them from here.
