If I'm now wrong it's an optional component should you go after an alternaternative AoS model. Great catch using it for the dove. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PetitDalek Posted May 5, 2020 Report Share Posted May 5, 2020 Colette broke her ankle...again.....aaaaaaaarghhfhhhh.... the front leg too or it wouldn't be fun. Anyway.... I bought the crew second hand, the two doves on curtains were already based, I take no credit. Colette had already been converted too. I based only the third dove on the spirally thingies. I found them on the floor of my father-in-law's workshop, I believe he was drilling holes in metal. He was glad I had use for them, he though they looked cool too @Chou Can't wait to see your Reva crew. I am a big fan of her crew. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Diddick Posted May 6, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 6, 2020 Hi there! I built de Dawn Serpent recently, and was trying to figure out how to hold it in a base while flying. At the same time I wanted to give my pending "last blossom" crew a "sakura vibe". This week i decided to get a wiggle on and figured out how to do both and I wanted to share it here. It has nothing to do with my pledge for this month, but the serpent's basing got into my head and had to try it out. I'm still up for the painted jorogumos. Gotta figure a way to paint pale skin that looks good... 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Rathnard Posted May 12, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted May 12, 2020 @Caedrus Thanks for keeping things running! Could you add 110 SS to my February pledge? It seems to have been missed on the spreadsheet. Link to the finished models is here. Anyway, my pledge this month has been coming along nicely... What I've pledged - Whelks, Skeeters and a Morphing. What I've painted - 6x Armoured Whelks with their Fireteam bases. I'm especially pleased with the shells. The bases before adding the murder crabs. I figured painting the bases seperately to the crabs was going to be much easier, given all the legs and how's low to the ground they are. And finally, something non-Wyrd. Oni from the Noh Faction in Relic Knights. Like the apothecary last month, they'll likely be something i rarely, if ever put on the table. But it's good to get them off my painting desk. As for the rest, I'm making good progress on the morphling, but need to finalise a colour scheme. I've made no progress on the Iron Skeeters though. I might just have to accept that I'm way more into painting TOS than Malifaux for the foreseeable future! 9 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Purple Mist Posted May 13, 2020 Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 Hello, time for mid month update...... First of all I completed the assembling and primed the church. Then I begun assembling and sealing the church tower, that it's an addon to the monthly pledge. I have till a mess of tasks to go after...... I wonna cut out of plastic sheets the roof for the church, then I'm always considering possible options for window glasses. The palette for the buildings will go after brick shades because of the Romanic style of the church. With brown tiles on the roofs I'll seek to create some contrast on the brick walls, may be with pale shading at the windows. I hope but I'm not sure I'll complete the job by end of current month. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taxidermied Posted May 13, 2020 Report Share Posted May 13, 2020 Are those from ttcombat? How is the quality and the assembly of them? I’ve never worked with mdf terrain before and am tempted to drop the cash on the venician quarter set they do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renown0 Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 Hey, uh. I'm brand new to the forum. I finally signed up so I could post here. Is it too late to sign up as a henchman? I need more motivation to keep painting. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a gaming miniature I'd use gloss varnish. If I'd try to paint something glossy I would paint small but strong highlights and reflectet light in the shadows. At least give it try.

Gloomy Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 @Renown0 Welcome to the painting challenge. @Caedrus is the host for this year's challenge, so any questions you have you can direct it to him. In previous years you had to join before April, but this year we have a buy in system if you've missed the early months If you look at the start of this thread there's a rules section. To start with pick a pledge level from minion to tyrant. This will indicate how many soulstones worth of models you have to paint every month. Your allowed 2 mulligan months but as your starting late, Jan/feb will both be mulligans. So to join in May at Henchman level you'd have to paint enough stones to cover March and April (an extra 22ss worth for Henchman) Check with @Caedrus but I'm not sure that you have to paint those all at once, I think you could do an extra 11 this month and an extra 11 next. That sounds like a lot of rules, but the painting challenge is really just about having fun, challenging yourself and being part of a group that encourages each other to achieve their goals at any level Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzuraRayume Posted May 14, 2020 Report Share Posted May 14, 2020 Oh, I thought we had to join in January! That's interesting. I do have a question. If we were to join late, could we use minis we painted during previous month as catch-up? I've kind of been challenging myself to do a mini a month and post them in my own thread when they're finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
