jollyork Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 The three-day weekend allowed me to finish my latest crew. These guys have been sitting on my painting desk since last summer. They were supposed to be done in time for Halloween, for obvious reasons, but I got sidetracked by an awesome season of Blood Bowl (and adding the Krakow Pox to my collection). But now, finally, my gruesome group of gourds is ready to storm Malifaux and twist all those foolish opponents to Zoraida's will. Of course, this crew was planned before the recent tournament guidelines release by Wyrd in which they disallow most non-Wyrd conversions. Not that I'm a tourney player, but still a bummer. Now that the mistress of the swamp is done to go along with my Pandora crew, I believe I'll be painting up The Dreamer next. Zoraida and the Voodoo Doll The witch is from Reaper, while the doll is an ancient familiar figure from Games Workshop (I added the pins). And yes, that's a tramp-stamp of the Neverborn mask on her ass. Slippery when wet! Stitched Togethers I suppose these could be Silurids as well, which I like using, but I love the Stitcheds and they fit the Doll theme much better. Plus, these guys look like they could really stuff someone inside their gourdly bellies. These are also Reaper figures. Bad Juju Another great pumpkin figure from Reaper, this guy is a real beast and perfect to use as BJ. Beware the Great Pumpkin! Wicked Dolls More Reaper figs? Yep! In case you didn't know this, Reaper makes tons of awesome figures, and in particular they have whole lines of themes that other companies don't even dare to touch (they even have evil snowmen). These guys are for fielding when Zoraida starts cranking out her Doll factory. Collodi I've always loved Zoraida, but when I saw Collodi in Rising Powers, that sealed the deal. Easily my favorite new guy (though Coppelius is a close second). This is a figure from the now-defunct Confrontation line, which has several extremely good sculpts in it. The green guy is my conversion of Primordial Magic. That's my favorite totem, but I don't like the Wyrd figure at all (a puking worm??). So I made my own from the Flame Base Accessories kit. Fielding Collodi allows me to use the PM with him while Zoraida is busy stitching Dolls together. Collodi's Marionettes These guys are the reason this entire crew came to be. They are the out-of-print Pixie Trixters from Rackham. Awesome, awesome figures, and as soon as I laid eyes on them I knew I had to make a pumpkin crew. The very next day I stumbled upon all the Reaper pumpkin figures and I knew it was destined to be. There are actually only three Trixters. The fourth figure (the one with Zoraida's hands holding the pin and doll), is a conversion I made from various parts. That's it for now! Thanks for looking and any comments are appreciated (including strategic advice). I want to paint up Hamelin to add to this group (just to be really annoying), and then it'll probably be the little boy and his playful friends...

ThePandaDirector Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 I've never been one for proxying, but DAMN those are gorgeous minis, recognise many of them, and love how you painted them. You did them the justice they deserve. I want an evil snowman Rasputina crew now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Evaine Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 I love the pumpkin theme - Halloween is one of my favourite holidays. The paint job is amazing as well. I have several Reaper figures as well and I love them, although I use them for D&D. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LonelyPath Posted May 30, 2011 Report Share Posted May 30, 2011 Those are some fantastic models and all of them wonderfully painted. There are a few from reaper there that I don't recognise, but I am very impressed and give me ideas for what need to be added to my display collection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nightseer Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share Posted May 31, 2011 Great job on those! Makes me want to do something pumpkin-y....meh. Another idea... Would be cool to use this mini as the "pumpkin mistress". Now I'll have to get at least three of her... Anyway, thanks for the inspiration!

jollyork Posted June 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 1, 2011 Thanks for the comments, and the tips on other models, too. I like the idea of a Charlie Brown crew. Sounds like the perfect theme for The Dreamer... hmm. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
