JMGraham Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Time for round 2 of the pre-tourney painting contest for the Bellingham Malifaux GT to be held in 1 month. Please vote for your favorite entry. The winner will get a useful in-tourney advantage. I know all of the entrants would appreciate comments, as well! Thanks for your help!

Dark Alleycat Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 androids....those are looking amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AvatarForm Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Android's hands down... sorry, but they are far superior in almost every way. The only place where Stark's top them is the basing has a bit mroe effort in it. Also, Kogre's is a single model... where is the rest of the crew?

Dark Alleycat Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 The other paint jobs are nice,but Androids are downright amazing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vegel Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Android's Guild I like the high contrast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absolution Black Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 I have to admit as models Androids are the best, but I like Stark's crew simply because the models are so dynamic, and the paintjob excellent too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daemonkin Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Android EPIC win. Start has an honourable mention though as far as I'm concerned. D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DangerousBeans Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Very tight between Stark and Android, and although 'roid's are probably better painted I really like the bases for Stark's. Also the Ortega's piss me off! +1 for Stark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgraz Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Android's painting is far superior. The use of extreme contrast is great (and very similar to my personal style) - so it gets my vote. Now if Stark and Android could collaborate - Stark basing and Android painting, that would really be something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darguth Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 I voted for the Stark's Guild over Android's Guild primarily because I thought the uniforms on the Marshalls and Austringers looks fantastic and made sense thematically, whereas I thought the uniform look of the Ortegas detracted from the uniqueness of their characters. Both were superbly painted though. The Mechanical Dove and Resurrectionist crews were great too, but I feel they were going up against near-professional painters, so it wasn't too much of a contest in terms of quality. Sorry guys!

Iamwyrd Posted April 4, 2011 Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 I like all of them considering they are painted (mine aren't. ). Also I'm not to sure what mach5 is running. Cause it looks like it could be seamus, but then there are zombies, and no master. But they are painted good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMGraham Posted April 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 4, 2011 Thanks for the comments and votes, all - FWIW, this is a "what have you done for me lately" contest. Participants were asked to post what they had painted since the last contest, in preperation for the April 30th/May 1st tournament. While Mach5's been very busy in pumping out his Nicodem crew, Kogre's been less productive. Still, one model done is better than none - one of the players (Rage, I'm looking at you!) has a month to paint an entire 50 ss worth of models (and still hasn't decided between Gremlins and Lilith.)

Mach_5 Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Thanks Iamwyrd! As Jim said I'm taking Nicodem, there's a group shot from the last contest up on my blog (see signature). I've got 13 models in my 50ss pool and another 18 for summoning (including the mindless zombies). I like to keep my options open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sithkhan Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 I voted Stark -Android's were too muddy. [but they all four paint damn sight better than me.] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonka73 Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Love the painting people they are all good. I voted for!! no that would be telling! LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorian Posted April 5, 2011 Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Tough call between Stark & Android. I feel Android has a bit better painting but Stark went the extra mile on basing & making them look dynamic. Had to give it to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMGraham Posted April 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Just a quick bump in case others hadn't seen this and want to cast a vote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stark1261 Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Android and I are in the same town. His stuff is hands down amazing. He does his highlighting in various colors, so much warmth and realism in his models. I have deliberately used only white and black when lightening my colors on this crew, tying a suggestion/ something new. His stuff is absolutley alive when seen in person. Best story about my bases is this group I started after my witchlings, and messed up the stone color on three of the marshals and didn't, notice until I put them on the table top a couple weeks ago. Plus to boot android may be one of my favorite opponents, very level headed no matter how good or bad his games are going. Though I don't think I have played him in malifaux yet.

Mr. Bigglesworth Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 Stark's hand down for me. Andriod's are good but are overly shadowed. While Stark's middle Death Marshals duster is amazing. Can't wait to see more pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tuesday Posted April 8, 2011 Report Share Posted April 8, 2011 I actually like the shadows and contrast on Android's best. The blending is well done, and the highlight colors just seem.. well-chosen, although that's probably not the best word. They make the colors that much more interesting.

JMGraham Posted April 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 Thanks for voting, all. Across the two boards this was posted on, Android came across as the solid winner, with Stark trailing in second. For those who haven't seen his work up close, Android does some pretty incredible stuff - his Orc & Goblin army is a piece of art. For the upcoming tournament in Bellingham, Android will have the option of reusing one of his schemes, as will the winner of the random dice roll (I haven't found an on-line card-flipper yet)....*drumroll* ... Stark! During the tournament, I'll be sure to get some good photos of the crews to share with y'all. thanks for helping with this! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
