Please post pIcks of your Nightmare crews cos i need ideas, showcase them and help me out plz Don't have him done yet or pics, but I'm doing my LCB in all black with varying shades of Purple and blue dry brushed onto him and swirled into the mix to make him look sorta blurry almost. I'm doing his claws and basically all the chitten on him in a deep red with probably some of the dark swirl's on the edges so that if he was in the dark all you would see are those sharp points. I wonder if there is some kind of glow in the dark red paint I could get for this... hmmm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hjelmen Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 (edited) Having just received my Bad Dreams box yesterday, I haven't actually painted anything yet, but I have been planning! I'm going to paint LCB with a deep red skin tone, with brown/black chitin claws, yellow-white-ish teeth, and his loincloth will be white to tie him together with The Dreamer, whose nighty will be white, just as on the box. I'm probably going to do the Stitched Together as close to Oogy Boogy from The Nightmare Before Christmas as I can. Coppelius, I'm not so sure of. A deadish skintone, definitely, and his clothes will probably end up being a ripped and torn black (purple base, most likely, although blue is a possibility) tailcoat with trousers in an, as of this time, undecided colour. I might go for the whole stripy thing, but I'm not very strong with freehand. My bases will be scorched earth with cracks glowing an ominous blue colour, with the exception of The Dreamer who will have a nice little green grass meadow full of flowers, with the scorched/blue lighting only on the verges of the base. Will I be able to convincingly pull it off? Time will tell! I'll post up a WiP blog at some point. I've got some guild miniatures that want paint as well! Sonnia Criid in a white coat? It's going to be awesome! Edited November 30, 2010 by Hjelmen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oozeboss Posted November 30, 2010 Report Share Posted November 30, 2010 I love how you asked for pics & got prose instead. (Very descriptive prose, but still ..... :rofl:) I've also just started the painting of my Dreamer crew, & as I am not of a standard worthy of a blow by blow visual record, I'm holding off posting pics till they are finished, when they'll turn up in my thread concerning them in the Home of the Boogeddy-Boogeddies here (the Neverborn forum in Malifaux matters). So - my apologies - but more purple prose. My bases are floorboards, aged & dirty, with a plum tinted sheen. Over that is an underfelt painted vaguely like skin, which has acquired a life of its own & is roiling like a stormy sea. Over which are black and white tiles (6mm square) in a checkerboard pattern. (One per base appears covered in fairy dust, which is impossible to describe.) The rest of my Neverborn (not just the Dreamer's crew) are standing on top of this warping tile floor, but LCB is a little bit different. My version is exploding out of the floor (to represent him unburying), so he has a couple of trailing skeins of the 'underfelt' (with tiles) hanging off of his lower arms. He himself is the checkerboard pattern (not necessarily 6mm square), & the material wrapped around his waist & trailing to his feet is the same fleshy tones as the 'underfelt', with the odd 6mm square tile attached. His eyes - as for all my Neverborn - are dazzling fluoro pink with a single vertical iris - and I'm trying to make them appear as though light shines out of them. The interior of his mouths is a very deep purple (queue Smoke on the Water riff) (:rock:), and his teeth, claws & various sundry spikey bits are gold. My thinking for this is that he's a Dream - a manifestation of The Dreamer. So he, and the entire crew, can have as little a relationship to 'reality' as you like. The Neverborn, by their very 'nature', are surreal, & the normal rules need not apply. There is literally no theme which you can build your crew around which would be too wyld, too wyrd or too whacky, because we are the Neverborn! Let the 'normal' factions worry about getting their skin tones 'right', or their clothing 'right', or generally replicating reality. We are the ones who could ... no, who should ... boldly go where no Malifaux painter/ modeller/ player has gone before. This is certainly why I play Neverborn. Be brave, be bold, and unleash the beast of your imagination. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
