Bellygrub Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 I finally have my Ramos crew fully assembled and have started slapping some paint on them. I did order Doc Taranto to be my Gunsmith. He's on his way. I'm also planning on using the Brass Arachnid as a Mobile Toolkit proxy since I somehow misplaced my little Warmachine half jacks. The Fleur De Ly counters are going to stand in for scrap counters until I build some. Now I just have to wait for the weather to warm up so I can prime the rest and continue painting them.

ispep Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 The spider crawling out of the box is awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvatarForm Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 One of the best paintjobs IO have seen on this crew. Also loving the themed bases for the spiders and SBE. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellygrub Posted October 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Thanks guys :embarasse. I was a little worried going in on Ramos because I haven't painted a "human" in close to ten years. It's been all Greenskins for me. I had a lot of fun basing the spiders. I really wanted them to feel a bit like they were scrambling about in an old factory and once I saw I could get an opening box I had to have one crawling out. Now I just need to find a good Joss proxy.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Razorbreed Posted October 4, 2010 Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Great paint job - are those Antenociti crates I spy ? What about the bases - are they scratch built ? Razorbreed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellygrub Posted October 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 4, 2010 Great paint job - are those Antenociti crates I spy ? What about the bases - are they scratch built ? Razorbreed Not sure on the crates. I picked them up on eBay and they just came in a box. However I just looked up Antenociti and I would say that yes, those are the same crates! I also want to thank you for pointing them out. They've got some great stuff on that site. The bases that are painted are Back 2 Basix that I had laying around. Ramos is on Johan's base. The other bases are all from Dragon Forge, including the counters. http://dragonforge.com/ I usually base all my models on Dragon Forge stuff. Jeff's an awesome guy.

Ratty Posted October 5, 2010 Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 Why do you require a Joss proxy? My guess is because the model is ugly. That would be my reasoning, I really don't like that model. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellygrub Posted October 5, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2010 Ratty has the right of it. Pancake Joss is one of the few sculpts I just do not like. I'm not a huge fan of using proxies either so I've been considering just not using him at all, which is why I have Johan in my crew. I have an Iron Kingdoms Trollkin I'm likely going to paint up and use for now. Instead of a Native American he can be a Native Malifauxiean. We only game at home so I don't really have to worry about anyone giving me a hard time about what I use. :spider: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not perfect, but he's close and just needs some light modding Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellygrub Posted October 12, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Managed to finish off most of Ramos crew. I've yet to tackle the Steamborg, it's an intimidating model to paint. I also had to break down and order a Rusty Alyce proxy. I'm legally blind in one eye and she's just too tiny for me to paint. I have to stick to mostly "chunky" figures. I went with "Dirty Meg" from PP. It's one of those models I always wanted. So I still have my Alyce, Joss and Gunsmith proxies as well as a Convict Gunslinger and Steamborg to paint. Hoping to get the done by the 23rd. I have a 45ss game and I'd like to use this crew. Camera didn't want to focus on the little fellah's. But they're just metallic anyhow. Nothing fancy.

LoboStele Posted October 12, 2010 Report Share Posted October 12, 2010 Ooh, I really like the yellow/black caution markings on the brass arachnid. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bellygrub Posted October 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 Finally got my 45 stone crew (and summons) finished!. I decided to go with the Mobile Toolkit and re-based my Brass Arachnid on a 40mm base, bought a second one and used them as a Large Steampunk Arachnids. Group Shot (sorry bad pic): Johan, Large Steampunk Arachnids, and the Gunsmith: Some Spiders: Ramos, again: Ramos, Rusty Alyce and Totem proxies: Johan and the Gunsmith: Electrical Creation: Partial overview of the town we played in today. The Carver mission. I managed to win by annihilating The Carver in one turn . It was magical. We changed things up a tiny bit by allowing all houses to be searchable, not just three, and we had a friend control The Carver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grim Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 (edited) Well done! I love how the colors seem to pop! Do you prime white or black? whoa.... waitaminute! I see a Cygnarian Squire and Dirty Meg, who are they supposed to be? Edited October 24, 2010 by Grim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Werecat Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 He mentioned earlier that he's parodying dirty Meg for Rusty Alice, and the squire for a mobile toolkit. What model did you use for the gunsmith? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bellygrub Posted October 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 Werecat has the right of it; Alyce (Meg) and Toolkit ( Squire). For my Gunsmith I used Freebooter's Doc Taranto: http://www.freebooterminiatures.de/en/catalog/24 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwug Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Werecat has the right of it; Alyce (Meg) and Toolkit ( Squire).
