some more female outcasts.

[Pox]

some of these are privateer press minis, but make up my all female malifaux crew - sorry about the dark pics, does make it hard to see faces properly.

1: Convict Gunslinger: really happy how the black cloth came out, not entirely sure on the gold but happy with the overall model none the less.

2: Hanz the Sniper: gah an annoying model to paint, and in a silly pose - it is done at least.

3: Hamelin with her pet spider Nix: just could not get the skin tone to work on this model, happy with the spider at least.

4: Tealor (Lady hammerstrike): generally quite happy with this one, especially how the bronze hammer came out, skin tone not too shabby and my 1st attempt at painting gemstones.

thoughts and criticisms welcome as usual.

Poxy.

You need some basing, boyo. Those models will look much more finished and lovely with a bit of flock on their bases.

But overall, great paint job and cool choice of alternate models.

My suggestion is get some old style flock and mix it with PVA and then use it to give you a nice surface. You can also use it thickly to hide the base on the Spider.. then paint it brown, give a little bit of a lighter brown drybrush. Finally get some of the newer fiberous flock and add it in patches. It's fairly easy but will make them look much better.

Damn, I thought this was a *insert your least favourite all-girl pop-culture group here* thread!:elefant:

You coudl try blending in some different primary colours in order to achieve the skin hues you are trying for... othewise, good work.

Bases make minis imo, and this good work will look superb when done.

Interesting that you chose a red back as your spider (that GW ole favourite is more tarantula imo, but who really cares?). I was once bitten by one of those things & according to my doc back then, it was only my being massively obese at the time that kept me out of hospital.

Fat can be good! :elefant:

Cheers for the comments guys, indeed the bases do need doing i just could not decide how i want to tackle them yet. not got enough disposable income to buy wyrd base inserts, so might use the ol sand+flock routine, or some millput and sculpt some cobblestones. still undecided so thus not done - any suggestions on what would look effective for the steampunk universe would be appreciated.

oh and in regards to the spider, it was looking too dull just all black/grey so i surfed the web for some orange spider variants and this one looked cool (think was some kind of bird eating spider...)

going to try using several watered down layers of metalic paint to do the metals rather then 1 thicker coat followed by a wash - see what kind of effect that gives.

can't wait to get to work on my female version of Jack Daw.

Can't wait to see Jill Daw. You could try wooden planking it works very well for steampunk and you can add little extras like billiard balls, playing cards. I've got some info on making wooden slats in the Diary of the Dead link below.

Far be it for me to question a fellow Lord of Decay (from The UnderEmpire - which explains your deaded things Ratty), but Jacqui Daw surely?

And definitely worth waiting for (although a woman with a paper bag over her head is a bit of an old joke which one doesn't use these days).
