Gloomy Posted February 20, 2019 Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 Just finished prepping the bases for next month's painting shenanigans. It was so nice not to have to build these from a million tiny pieces for once 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post muraki Posted February 21, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 Went a little overboard on my pledge this month, and did 94 stones of models (using M3e numbers and considering a proxy to be the real model). Here's the models: Zipp: Mancha and First Mate: Burt / Merris / Earl: Johan and Gremlin Johan: Skeeters: wrastlers: and of course the full shot: 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Caedrus Posted February 21, 2019 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 Caedrus, reporting in! Well, I've met my base goal for the month, being 9SS of Anna Lovelace! I'm fairly pleased with this model. I think I'll redo the base edge in plain colours, rather than messing with about with it. I was pleased with the NMM (still lots to learn, but I'm getting there), and the glazing (both to smooth out the NMM, and the purple reflections from her sash. From here, I'll try to finish a metal Peacekeeper, a Pathfinder, and three December Acolytes. A gentle reminder, as we get towards the end of the month: If you could make your end of the month update an "@Caedrus", listing your SS value, that would be much appreciated! I'm going to take some time and look through some of the amazing painting from this month. Some amazing stuff. Keep putting pigment to plastic! Caedrus. 16 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloomy Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 Your Anna Lovelace is awesome!! Well done! I bet she'll really pop on the table 5 hours ago, Caedrus said: I think I'll redo the base edge in plain colours, rather than messing with about with it The base edge is really cool idea but I agree you should go with plain, I think at the moment it detracts a bit from the model 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bedjy Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 @muraki Well done ! I won't say you're the best painter I've seen here because you're ... not... But your minis have so much charm, color and life in them that it's a pleasure too look at them !!! If you don't mind, I'll show them to some friends... Such an inspiring work ! Love it !! @Caedrus love the Nmm, it's beautiful ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lusciousmccabe Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 @muraki Live the campey 70's colour scheme, so fun and thematic. The conversion on zip is just pure genius. @Caedrus Dress turned out beautifully. Not sure how naturalistic the purple reflections are but in terms of composition they're great for connecting the model together. Also love the glowey turqouise spot colour on the chest. Really draws the eye into the heart of the model while the purple and blues bring it back out again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloomy Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 Can I make a suggestion for costing other side models? Scrip costs don't really pan out the way ss cost does. For example a unit of warped costs 9 scrip, thats 9 models. A unit of stalking portals costs 3 scrip, thats 6 x 50mm large models. My suggestion for costing TOS models would be (per individual model) 30mm base = 5ss 40mm base = 7ss 50mm base = 9ss Commanders = 15ss Titans = 20ss I know there's only a couple of us painting TOS at the moment but would be good to get a consistent scoring method for future participants. What do people think? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burnin' Coal Posted February 21, 2019 Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 @Athiko - gets a thumbs up from me...ultimately I'll go along with what everyone agrees on...ten models to make up a full squad of The Broken, nine for the Warped etc etc...it's a lot of work and impossible at S/S for scrip rate...but whatever we decide on - those Titans ! 😱😱....I can just about see me getting King's Hand done in a month IF I have a ton of spare time...but the Gorysche ?!?!....took me hours just to prep it for priming !😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post wobbly_goggy Posted February 21, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 21, 2019 Another very quick job (and horrid washed out photo) for this month (so far), it's Fitzsimmons for 8ss (I think) Bonus point if you get the placard reference... 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post lusciousmccabe Posted February 22, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 Finished two witchlings, putting me up to 15 SS for the month. Not sure I'll finish Sonnia this month, but I've a few days left and if not it'll be early next month. I'm happy with her coat and jeans but not entirely sure where to go colour wise for some of the other elements that aren't on the witchlings (hair for instance). Also, the lantern and sword are definitely going to take some more work to get looking half decent. @wobbly_goggy Clicking an icon cannot express my love for that model. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikodemus Posted February 22, 2019 Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 @lusciousmccabe I'm partial towards bright hair colours so... Orange would be lore appropriate. Pink, favourite of mine, could fit in with that whole blue-magenta scheme you've got going. But looking at rest of the mini, I think I'd be tempted to go for green-turquoise. It's on the blade and I like tying colours together like that. I will say that that looks like a challenging paintjob to continue. Quite a few colours on it already. So as much as I love pink and redheads I'm leaning towards turquoise. If you're not into "anime hair" just go with brown and be boring 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
muraki Posted February 22, 2019 Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 @bedjy go for it. I know I'm not the best painter but I'm getting a lot of practice and am having fun trying different color combos. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phinn Posted February 23, 2019 Report Share Posted February 23, 2019 Unfortunately, I will not be able to finish my pledge for February, @Caedrus, and thus I would like to use my second mulligan. Work and family But! But I have already made some preventive measures so that it will not happen again I have ordered The Plague Cometh (Hamelin's Crew Box) and some Wyrdscape Sewer Bases. I mean... a Malifaux Rat is a 2 SS model after all Every month I will pledge a single Malifaux Rat and anything else will be a bonus 2 1 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Gloomy Posted February 24, 2019 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 @Caedrus here's my final minis for the month total 40ss. Was hoping to finish Jaakuna and the Crooked men too but I got the flu and instead spent all weekend in bed feeling sorry for myself, on the side I have a bunch of half done minis for next month Also... Jaakuna and the Crooked Men is a great name for a band! 14 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caedrus Posted February 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 Caedrus, checking in! Well, I hope to have my Peacekeeper finished very soon, but in the meantime, I thought I might say: Wow. Some absolutely fantastic painting this month. Lots of fluorescence, done brilliantly! So many painting styles different to my own (developing) style. I'm learning so much from all of you! @Viruk: You have a fantastic eye for colour. The blue-to-green shift on your Raspy avatar is wonderful. @emiba: Beautiful, sombre tones on the Vincent jacket. @Maxooo: I love those magenta gremlins, and the fluorescent highlights on the base. I wouldn’t be brave enough to try that! @lusciousmccabe: Nice gradients on the Bandersnatch! I’m with @Nikodemus on unifying the hair colour, but I’d break lore, and go with jeans-blue! @Purple Mist: I’m watching your chameleon-horse very closely! Even still images look great! @Burnin' Coal: Super-cohesive unit there. I think my favourite is the parasol-and-mermaid-dress lady. Gentle, beautiful contrasts. @Athiko: The fluorescent unifying colour is so very powerful. I love this crew! I didn’t intend to buy Jaakune, but it’s such a beautiful sculpt, I hope I do it the justice you’re doing! Your March pledge is huuuge. Wow. @Diddick: That fluorescent base-touch-effect is great. Not sure which Goryo I like most. I think the brown dress, but it is close! @bedjy: Those banraku are tiny! You’ve got fantastic detail on it. I love the wood tones (I mostly rely on inks to get a good wood effect), but I think the lavender/blue robes are the best bit! @muraki: I don’t know where to start! 94 Stones is just … massive. Your colours are outrageous! Pinks, greens, yellows. I wouldn’t have the courage to even consider it. Your style is so very different to mine, but I love it. I think I’ve never seen miniatures that look like so much fun. Kudos! @wobbly_goggy: Great mini, needs a partner-sign labelled ‘careful now!’ @Phinn: I hope life settles down for you, but your rat-plan is flawless brilliance! I look forward to your monthly rat! It's an absolute pleasure seeing these paintings evolve! Caedrus. 4 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aa7 Posted February 25, 2019 Report Share Posted February 25, 2019 Here's my efforts for this month. Neil Henry is the only Malifaux model so stones will be 8SS. Stretch goals achieved are finishing my Wahammer Underworlds Chosen Axes crew too 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
