Popular Post vinnyt16 Posted February 6, 2021 Popular Post Report Share Posted February 6, 2021 Heya folks! I've been painting miniatures for about a decade, and started taking it pretty seriously about 2 years ago. Initially I was only focused on Games Workshop stuff, but then I discovered the beautiful sculpts of Malifaux! So far I've painted up a few crews, most recently Lord Cooper, and figured I could share some of my work here! I'd love to hear what you all think and see if you have any ideas for color schemes/styles to try in the future! All the bases I use are from Micro Art Studios since they're cheap and are far far better than anything I could make on my own. Currently working on Yan Lo's crew (just finished assembling everyone today) so will try and have an update at least every week or so, depending on my work schedule. By posting here I figure I can stop spamming the fb group (sorry) and also show more angles/close ups! 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lusciousmccabe Posted February 6, 2021 Report Share Posted February 6, 2021 Great work. Love how the explorers look interesting in spite being mostly muted/natural colours. Nightmare skin is also really cool how it's carries similarity between the models without them looking identical. Looking forward to seeing more!

Sphynxy TV Posted February 8, 2021 Report Share Posted February 8, 2021 Really like the transitions on chompy ❤️ Also the bases for your explorers crew fit quiet well in my opinion, like they are exploring foreign jungles in malifaux. Nicely done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinnyt16 Posted February 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 Since I’m on call this weekend and therefore functionally living at the hospital, I won’t be able to get much painting done But I’m off to a pretty good start on Yan Lo’s crew! This is a fairly potato pic but I try not to get out the good camera until the whole keyword is finished! Currently working on Genbu the Armor (because big turtles >> reanimated boring armor*) and then it’ll be time for Yin and Manos! *plus I feel like Izamu is gonna be an excellent competition piece if Wyrd decides to run another one in the near future. He’ll get a special base and everything! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikodemus Posted February 11, 2021 Report Share Posted February 11, 2021 Nice chunky style on the Yan Lo crew. Digging it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinnyt16 Posted February 16, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 A sneak peek of the wraithwalker himself! And perhaps the rest of his crew behind him... fancy pictures of the entire keyword coming soon! 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post vinnyt16 Posted February 16, 2021 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted February 16, 2021 Here's the whole Keyword! Definitely a bolder color scheme than the apex, but I think they turned out well! Next up... Asami! 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chou Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 I really like the Yan Lo KW, as luciousmccabe says the colours are vibrant and very catchy to the eye, great work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maogrim Posted February 17, 2021 Report Share Posted February 17, 2021 Excellent, amazing work, and in such a small amount of time! 😃 I have only one very small point of criticism: Toshiro is a little too green for my taste. He's even greener than the turtle. But that's just a question of color scheme, not of skill or technique. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post vinnyt16 Posted February 20, 2021 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted February 20, 2021 Yeah 😕 I ended up going a bit over the top with the green on Toshiro but it was tough to make him appropriately light since the foliage on the base is a pretty bright green so I wasn’t a huge fan of the light green when I had it on him. On to new models! So unfortunately a lot of the Asami crew was bought pre-assembled and let’s just say that the assembly on certain models was not how I would have done it. This means a lot of the Asami models are only gonna be a basic table top job instead of the fancier painting I like to do for Malifaux. Ama no Zako is not one of those models and here she is all painted up! The secret to the red tinge over the purple is a very very very thin glaze of army painter crusted sore at the very end. 11 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maogrim Posted February 21, 2021 Report Share Posted February 21, 2021 Your basic tabletop paint jobs are still amazing and way better than me on my best day. 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinnyt16 Posted February 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2021 Hey folks, time for another fun semi-weekly update! Unfortunately this time I don't have any fancy pictures of crews/models since all I painted this week was the Oni keyword and honestly I didn't feel like they really deserved the fancy picture treatment yet. Maybe I'll change my mind later. But! Here are some pictures of my home Malifaux set-up on a repurposed pool table. It's just enough room for a board, some terrain, and almost all my crews! Next up... Zoraida Core box and Jesse Halliday/friends. I also made the plunge and preordered all the English Ivan models. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinnyt16 Posted March 5, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2021 It's been a busy busy month which hasn't left me a whole lot of time to paint, but since today is my day off, I figured I'd paint up a few Malifaux models before my weekly game against my father haha. This'll be our first time with 50ss completely painted crews and I'll be sure to get some pictures to post here! Hopefully soon we'll all be able to get some IRL games going. Goal for the remainder of the month: finish all my 10 Thunders models before DUA/Umbra comes out! 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vinnyt16 Posted March 14, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2021 Sorry folks, no updates this week 😕. Work has been crazy busy and this week is also a bit of a mess. Thankfully my life gets much more relaxed just in time for the DUA/Umbra release! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinnyt16 Posted March 16, 2021 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2021 Ok maybe I lied. Was cleaning up my gaming area while house-sitting and figured I’d take some pics of a few models I recently finished! 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post vinnyt16 Posted March 27, 2021 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted March 27, 2021 Oh man so it’s been a crazy few weeks and unfortunately I haven’t gotten much Malifaux painting done (too busy trying to crank out my last few skaven models). But what I did do was paint up a ton of bases and then have a buddy paint some malifaux models for me. And here are the results! He’s a brilliant painter and now I can add Lynch to my list of crews as well as cross off a bunch of ten thunders versatiles. I’m very much looking forward to painting up English Ivan annnnnd I just recently got my hands on a HUGE haul of old M2E models that I’ll start working my way through after I finish my skaven army. 10 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post vinnyt16 Posted April 8, 2021 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted April 8, 2021 Finished up my skaven army and now it’s time to get back to some REAL painting instead of batching 40 dudes at a time. First up, some spooky shadow friends? of Ivan! Went with a more monochromatic scheme since they’re literally shadows but I also wanted to go with bases that represent a dark cobblestone path through a park around halloween. The theme will be way more apparent on some of the actually important models, I promise! 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post vinnyt16 Posted April 10, 2021 Author Popular Post Report Share Posted April 10, 2021 And in a flurry of activity, I've finished off the English Ivan core box! Already posted this in a few other places so sorry if it's old news. Basic idea was to do a strong white zenithal highlight and then gradually darken things with contrast paint before adding some directional lighting also with contrast. To keep things fresh, all the living crew have lamps on their bases while all the shadows are entirely in darkness. Thought it would be kind of fun to do a thing where it's Ivan and friends in the shadow realm where they have to stay in the light to prevent being attacked by the shadows. Of course this falls apart if my opponent's models also have lamps on their bases but there's only so much I can do. Just waiting now for another Wyrdscape lamp set to arrive (Wyrd please make more things like this- I'd love to see malifaux basing kits with like random boxes/chests/other bits to add to bases). 12 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vinnyt16 Posted April 27, 2021 Author Report Share Posted April 27, 2021 Sorry folks, I've been busy getting married but I'll be back to painting in a little while! Gonna work on the Dark Reflections box next, and then the Effigy/Emissary! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vinnyt16 Posted May 11, 2021 Author Report Share Posted May 11, 2021 Alrighty folks! I’m back at home and just finished the Dark Reflections box. This completes the DUA/Umbra keyword and my second explorer society master. I already painted Corvis and the gals but forgot to snap some pics so will need to do that soon, but until then, here are some spooky shadow monsters! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
