DeafNala Posted February 10, 2010 Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 VERY NICE choice of colors...EXCELLENT WORK! :fing02: What WONDEROUS plans do you have for the base? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themurphyfella Posted February 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2010 Base wise I've been trawling the forum for idea's. I've got to get something done for the weekend so I can enter it in a competion between some friends. I'll probably use some coffee stirring sticks and do a wild west theme step. Although I do have some gravestones knocking around that could be fun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themurphyfella Posted February 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 11, 2010 Fun way to put together a collage - thanks for sharing it. It's just a click of a button in picasa so it came from me having a "wonder what that does" moment more than design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themurphyfella Posted February 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2010 (edited) Got Lady J finished Full set of pictures http://picasaweb.google.com/themurphyfella/WIPMalifaux?feat=directlink I gave it a shot of the armypainter matt varnish when I was done and I was very impressed. I made a lot of use of the washes on the hair and various parts of the figure and it was looking a little glossy in parts up to the shot of AP matt I'm happy with the end result but as usual once I got the pictures fullsize on a monitor some of the minor (and not so minor)flaws show up. The knuckles on her left hand look like they chipped red paint splash on top of the right kneepad Right boob skin isn't as smooth as I thought it was, looks like I didn't fix all the splash of wash Not sure I like the grey holsters on the pistols In the cleavage shot the right hand "item" has a bit of a mistake on the black lining I want to do a little more metal highlighting on the sword metallics Edited April 20, 2010 by themurphyfella pics stopped working Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

themurphyfella Posted April 20, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 Well I got told I won a prize for the painting of Lady J in a forum competition. http://www.whfb-ireland.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=25&t=223 Painting article in issue 3 of an ezine http://www.whfb-ireland.org/forum/viewforum.php?f=23 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themurphyfella Posted May 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 I put a painting push on the crew to try and get into the twitter competition. I failed I got this far by Friday night. Then I had to stop while the mancave was upgraded with storage If you squint you can see the crew. Honest I'm sure it'll be worth it in the end. To make room for the work I had to move a pile of stuff. The only available spare was the "smallest room" attached to the bedroom, I mean Mancave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darkover Posted May 17, 2010 Report Share Posted May 17, 2010 Wow, this crew looks amazing! Great work on the Death Marshals and everything else, I really like Your style! Want more! :bigok: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themurphyfella Posted May 18, 2010 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2010 Cheers. There will probably be some more once the room is sorted out. I've promised myself I'll get this crew fully painted this month if it's physically possible. But end of month I'll be switching back to 40K for a few months while I complete my ETC army. I'm on the Irish team for the European Team Championships in Aug and as usual with 40K the stuff I have painted isn't the stuff I want to bring Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themurphyfella Posted September 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 Well ETC is over. Less said about my outing with my orks the better. This month I've actually got some work done on the crew Lady J's crew are finished and I've started on the peacekeepr and the ortega's Pictures to follow once my camera decides to cooperate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themurphyfella Posted February 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2011 Got some time this week to do some painting and I broke out the Malifaux stuff I've accumulated. I managed to add Colette and some gremlins to the pile of stuff by using prize vouchers from a 40K tournament. Irony huh? The Desk was looking like this once I cleared the clutter a bit I'd some work to do on Papa, Francisco and Santiago to finish them up from before christmas but Nino was being a problem child. Mainly because hate the scupt for this figure. The only reason I had it was it comes in the box for the ortega's. I have spent few weeks looking at it and trying to figure something that would allow me to use it without wanting to spit. The random leg in the air annoyed me and the only suggestion anyone had come up with that was even mildly amusing was to put the gimp on a unicycle Then inspiration and the bitz box came to the rescue and now he's a sniper on a roof I just finished painting Perdita from that set today. Some WIP shots I started painting her in the browns of the rest of the crew and got struck with... something half way through and switched to a purple paint scheme. Noe that I think of it I think the change over was using the purple paint I had out for Nino's roof on her hat. Unfortunately the camera died after taking one out of focus shot of the end product.... This guy is begging for a good paintjob but I'm not feeling terribly inspired. It's a bit depressing to find out I'd unknowingly reproduced incunnablog's basing after picking up the base in a game store cause it looked cool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AvatarForm Posted February 20, 2011 Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Nice work. I especially enjoy the basing and small details... Ie. Pigeon poop on the rooftop. What paint ranges do you use? My only critique is that you could perhaps thin your paints a bit and achieve smoother blends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themurphyfella Posted February 20, 2011 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2011 Thanks guy's, Merlin, Tuesdays are difficult with family commitments but I'm hoping to get a few Thursday games in. I use most paint ranges. I've the original coat d'arms GW paints, Valleio, GW foundation and a few Privateer press paints as well. The models look a lot sharper and smooter when they're not zoomed up as they are in those pictures. AvatarForm, paintingwise, I'm fighting between getting stuff done and spending more time on individual figures and it's showing on the level of patience I have for layering the paint. Long way of saying you are 100% correct and the issue is my patience more than anything. In spite of the time elapsed each of the paintjobs were completed in a day Now that I've got the 2 guild crews done I'm hoping I can convincemyself to spend some time on the peacekeeper and seamus and Ophelia.
