Jimmy35 Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Hey all, I just got into Malifaux, haven't played a game yet but I'm really looking forward to it. I painted up my starter boxes of Ortega's and Gremlins really well (for me at least). While I have been painting mini's for around 15 years I've only been painting few character models like these for skirmish games for the last year, and it is so much better and more fun than massed armies of similar models. Anyways, I just thought I'd share these images with you all and I hope you like them. As you can see I was heavily inspired by the studio bases for the Gremlins. It was the first time I've ever done anything special for bases beyond pre-built resin bases (like the Back2Base IX the Ortega's are on). I had so much fun working on them, My favoutires are the Jetty and the Pig's base. The Cactus behind Perdita is made out of Greenstuff rolled around a wire armature and was my first ever attempt at sculpting, overall I'm quite happy with how it turned out. I hope you enjoy them, I can't wait till I get some more to work on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapless Peon Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Looking really good. Love the little details like the signs. Hope I can play them one of these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy35 Posted January 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 That should be do-able, I was really looking forward to playing them at the Blind Pig, but it's been put back to March now, if you know of any other places (ace comics annerley?) just let me know =) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hapless Peon Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 I hold regular sessions at my place. and there are a few others that do the same. I know Wombats has made an initial enquiry about Malifaux-ing at Ace Comics but don't know the progress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mechaace Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 They're really good looking figures, and the bases are very well done. I must admit I really like the sign on the Ortega, it's kinda cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
n0signal Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Great looking crews, absolutely bursting with character! I think your Gremlin bases and you additions to the Ortegas (like the Cactus) look brilliant!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Amazing! Great painting, and the bases are awesome! Mind if I 'borrow' some of your gremlinbaseideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Svenn Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Wow! Really nice. I love the bases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimmy35 Posted January 31, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Thank you all for the support, makes me really want to get started on some more. I am really surprised how much love there is for the signs, they were actually just a random tought that came into my head while waintin for paint to dry. I had some match sticks and balsa wood left on my desk from making the jetty and just thought 'Wonder how this would look?' For Francisco's it was just goin to be a crossroads sign to two locations in the world, but I just noticed how one was pointing up and the other down and Death and Glory just clicked. For the cattails I just followed pceretii's advice here in this thread. Any time I have paint drying I just pop onto some forums (this one, Brushthralls WargamerAU, CMON) to see what other people have done and work my own ideas from that. I have ordered some brass etched reeds from hasslefree mini's and when they arrive I'll see how they go, I may replace some of these ones. I am awaiting more Malifaux and will try it on some of those bases (piglets, mozzy's, and more gremlins). Mind if I 'borrow' some of your gremlinbaseideas?Go for it Nick, I borrowed them all off others anyway Thanks again for the praise and support, it has been a real motivator to get some more painting and modelling done.

dgraz Posted January 31, 2010 Report Share Posted January 31, 2010 Great work. Does that cactus count as covering terrain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
