mr_chuffy Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 As promised in my Introduction post, here's my Resurrectionists painting blog: After looking at all of the starter boxed sets I settled with The Undertaker's Lot crew as I liked Nicodem as a Master, although I wasn't sure about the 'stitched flesh' overcoat look (well at least that's what it looked like to me). Luckily when I opened the box and inspected the models Nicodem's covercoat was exactly like the art work.. I say luckily, as I really like Nicodem's art and wanted to paint him (and his crew) as close to that as possible. I'll be using the following P3 paints (P3 are all I own) as the basis for my crew's colour scheme: Thamar Black, Coal Black, 'Jack Bone, Menoth White Highlight, Morrow White, Beast Hide, Exile Blue, Cygnar Blue Base, Battlefield Brown, Bootstrap Leather, Pig Iron, Quick Silver, Underbelly Blue, Bastion Grey and Sanguine Base. Anyhoo's without further delay, here's my (almost) finished Nicodem: [ATTACH]514[/ATTACH] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TimeLapse Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 Spot on! I love it. I also cant wait to see the crew once you finished them if this is the level of detail we can expect! Vary awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brandubh Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 That is one of the best Nicodem minis I have seen yet. Are you going to finish off the base or is it just on that one just a temporary? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geckilian Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 Very nice blending indeed, especially on the coat. I'll echo others - I'm looking forward to seeing the rest of your crew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_chuffy Posted August 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 well done:)...you captured the Nicodem box cover/character art wonderfully Many thanks, I was really trying to capture the art as best I could and thankfully it's as close I could have got it!

Are you going to finish off the base or is it just on that one just a temporary? The base is indeed just temporary, I'll be hopefully be buying a set of the Graveyard base inserts (as well as the accessories) this week and should hopefully finish him on Sunday all being well!

mr_chuffy Posted August 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 Thanks for all of the comments guys, I've basecoated the rest of the crew and will hopefully put up some wip of Mortimer during the week - maybe if I get organised I'll do a step by step of the face or something.. Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dodge Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 That is a superb piece of work, I have that mini myself primed and ready to paint, if I can get it to look 10% as good as that one I'll be happy well done dodge Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddot Posted August 5, 2010 Report Share Posted August 5, 2010 Really caught the blend of creepiness and gentlemanliness for Nico, on top of being a beautiful paint job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mr_chuffy Posted August 11, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 (edited) Ok, so I finally got my graveyard base inserts through the post yesterday and managed to get Nicodems base sorted: I really pleased with how everything is coming along and I'm really loving the Malifaux miniatures, unfortunately everything is so slow as I've got my own Cygnar for Warmachine to paint as well as a Cygnar commission to finish off - It never ends!! I've made some progress with Mortimer, however he's going to need alot more work to get up to scratch.. 'Till next time! Edited August 11, 2010 by mr_chuffy Finally got the image hosting sorted!

Geckilian Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 The base insert works really well, but it's a shame the grave stone is in the way of the coat details on the back, and not visible from the front. Mortimer's also looking great so far! I can understand the 'other stuff to paint' problem, I literally have around 450 figures across 4 systems to paint, but it's all been shoved to the side for Malifaux!

shekbo Posted August 11, 2010 Report Share Posted August 11, 2010 Wow. That's just awesome. I kind of double my recommendation that you pick up the hanged because I want to see how awesome they look with you painting them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the proble with the base inserts they look great, but tend to get obscured with the models - I did try altering the angle that Nicodem was occupying but it just didn't work. Hopefully it'll be less of a problem with the other models.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr_chuffy Posted August 16, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 Here's the latest update - I've just finished one of the three Punk Zombies and I'm fairly pleased with him... Now I say fairly pleased, as I had all sorts of problems with him and spent far too long painting and repainting his trousers in particular.. the other really big issue I had was with the Matt Varnish (Army Painter) in that it covered him in lots of white specks and was a real pain in the bum to sort out! So if anyone can suggest a good Matt Varnish that is (preferably) available in the UK it'd be much appreaciated. Here's one more of him, this time with Nicodem: Apologies as the photos are not the best as I didn't have much time (or good light!) to take some more without the lens shadow. I also couldn't take any more as during the shoot I managed to knock both models from the table and in doing so chip them and break them from their bases (that'll teach me for not pinning them) - although luckily they otherwise stayed intact! Over the next few days (more like weeks) I'll be painting up Mortimer and the Vulture as I really can't face the other Punk Zombies at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malsqueek Posted August 16, 2010 Report Share Posted August 16, 2010 Mister Chuffy must be Farsi for "really freaking good at highlights". That is some really nice work, man. I look forward to seeing the whole crew finished. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellygrub Posted August 17, 2010 Report Share Posted August 17, 2010 I agree. Excellent work. Of course this both inspires me and depresses me as I look at my unpainted Nico. :boom: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
