DAGabriel Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 (edited) What is it all about? The aim of “The Tale of Malifaux Painters” is to help motivate those involved to start and complete their Crews/Bands in the next 6 months. The painters involved have made a commitment to paint and post, by the last day of each month, their finished minis. They do this each month for the next 6 months. Starting with their first post on the last day of August 2011 and finishing with their last post on the last day of January 2012. So we have this month, whilst everyone signs up, to collect, build, convert, undercoat and otherwise get yourself ready to go with the first work in progress starting in September. However, because people have real lives with exams, holidays, honeymoons, new babies etc, etc. They get one 'Joker'. For one month within the half year you can ‘play a joker’ and rather than post an update they can post "sorry guys couldn't get it done this month. Real life got in the way." But the other 5 Months they have to come up with painted and based figures. Even for the slow painters that should be at least 1 crew. If the thread should become too big I will split it, but unlike the other Tales I would like to try and keep it in one thread. A WORD ON PHOTOS 640x480 seems to work best OR use thumbnails Bigger than this results in the scroll bar of doom for many. Frequently Asked Questions Q : Am I too Late? Can I still Join in? A : No you are not too late. Yes you can still join in. Just post on this thread saying what you intend to paint. Q : How much do I have to paint? A : There is a minimum of one mini per month with the additional WIP pics. Most will aim at more. But one breathtaking mini will take a long time. Q : Can I include a short narrative with each months post. A : Yes. We love background stuff. Write as much as you like it will be read and enjoyed by many. Q : Can I drop out? A : No you can't, why should you? Edited July 31, 2011 by DAGabriel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAGabriel Posted July 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 And as a quick "where are your pics" a first WIP (wife is gone bunching, kids are still in bed) of a Bayou Gremlin to see if the colors are ok. Details still missing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rathnard Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 Well, this month I'm starting simple, with a pair of assembled and undercoated Guild Hounds to paint. I also have a Lawyer ready, but he's half painted so won't officially count once I do paint him. The rest of the Lucius Crew is still awaiting my order of cobblestone bases from Dragonforge (my Guild Hounds need to match up with my Marcus crew too, so they get away with having more generic bases). So come September I should really be able to get stuck into these guys...especially if my Gencon order is still on it's way and thus not distracting me.

Bigkid Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 I'm mad for it! A certain pretty lady from the Three Kingdoms has caught Seamus's eye, so I'll be adding her and her entourage to his every increasing harem... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Talos Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 This month I will be working on a Convict Gunslinger and Taelor. I did some work on my Gunslinger this morning and pretty happy where he is after 3 hours of work. He stills needs alot of work as most of its just basecoats but he is coming together. Just saw he is meant to be wearing gloves oh well. With Malifaux models I like to work on one model at a time. So wont start Taelor till the Gunslinger is finished.

Belladonna Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 Huhu! Since yesterday I own my first two minis - young Nephilim - and I'm going to play Lilith and her friends someday. I just started glueing them and would like to take part here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightseer Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 This month's entry will be 6 'Steampunk Arachnids', 2 Swarms, a 'Mobile Toolkit', and I might even do my counts-as-Rusty-Alyce Steampunk Dorothy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mydnight Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 My first WIP.....Ok yea I know I'm cheating. I am vigorously finishing up my painting for Gen Con as I am in two tournaments, and poor Raspy has to wait just a little longer. My goal with this crew is to go at a slower pace, spend more time and see if I can add more detail and try out new techniques with each model.

Rotokultaxe Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 (edited) For august, my plans are to paint the Datsue-ba and Ikirio, and if I have some spare time (with two kids, that would be a miracle...), I'll start Seamus or Bête noire. I'll try to slap some paint on Ikirio and Datsue-ba by tomorrow night. Good luck to all! Edited August 3, 2011 by Rotokultaxe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bleeding Through Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 (edited) Yesterday I assembled and sprayed: pandora old avatar who will be used as normal pandora as the pandora sculpt I dislike and the new alt is even worse, 3 sorrows, baby kade, candy, coppelius, doppleganger, poltergeist and 2 stitched together. If I can justify ordering stuff from gen con expect to see new pandora avatar, new candy and nightmare teddy to complete my neverborn crew. If possible will also see dead justice and new alt and avatar seamus crew and I also built and sprayed my gfs rasputina crew but thats not part of this Edited July 31, 2011 by Bleeding Through Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaslyne Posted July 31, 2011 Report Share Posted July 31, 2011 I'd love to participate in this. I'm determined to finish my colette crew in a decent amount of time, and then get started on perdita and all 5 lady j's after gencon. Just posted a couple new models on my thread this morning so won't double post it ^^ This is a great idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

December'sPawn Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Will be starting soon as well,going to start with Seamus and my other Resurrectionists tonight will post some WIPs before I hit sack.

perplexiti Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 I'll try to get some WIP shots up soonish, but have started Lady J, hopefully I'll have the Judge done this month too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osoi Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Well as all the parts for my Leve crew arrived in time I have finished basing all the crew So I am adding them to McMourning for the tale. This month will be 2 Hollow Waifs and 4 Canine Remains (minimum) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aka_hazard Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 So here are my opening photo's... Firstly the starting batch of my Guild crew for the MWL painting requirement: Not a great photo but good enough to show that they're untouched. This batch includes Lucius, Drill Sergeant, Guild Captain, 2 Guild Guards, an Austringer, a Lawyer and 2 Guild Hounds. This will be 'topped off' with the dead Lady J limited edition set when that comes out and will bring the points total for the crew to 65 SS. I also have these: Which I primed and washed yesterday. We have a Black Blood Shaman, Nekima, 2 Hanged and a Flesh Construct. These are additions to my Lilith and Nicodem crews. When they are painted I'll use a better camera Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CubertFarnsworth Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Primed and ready to go Cult of December. I am using the Judge model as a Desperate Mercenary. I figured that if she knew that she was going to be working for Rasputina, that she would be cold and would need to dress warm....so I changed the sword and I added a gun to the Judge model to fit more of a Desperate Mercenary in winter clothing. Also I am using the Snow model and possibly the Rasputina model as Silent ones and I will be using the upcoming Alt Scuplt of Rasputina as my Master. Now the original silent one I placed her riding the Sabertooth Cerberus. The pose she is in looks like she is riding something. So to make my Cerberus (who will have a winter coloring, hence all the extra sculpted fur on him) look different, the Silent One is now riding him. This represents this thing getting Frozen Heart as much as possible! Also I know that it is difficult to tell but I dug out alot of the bases so I can fill them in with water effects and then paint them to look like ice.

SteamHammer Posted August 1, 2011 Report Share Posted August 1, 2011 Here is what I have to being the tale with: 3 Terror Tots 2 Young Nephilim 1 Mature Nephilim Lilith Black Blood Shaman Cherub thing Nekima I'll start with a terror tot tonight. My aims for this project are to learn: using putty (green stuff) basing (more than just sand on glue) thin layers (glasing?) So any advice on these will be appreciated.
