DAGabriel Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 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 October 2, 2011 by DAGabriel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geckilian Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 (edited) Firstly, cheers DAGabriel for putting my large arachnid in the opening thread post! Time for the group shots! I finished 30 miniatures this month, an improvement of 9 on last month, helped quite substantially by the abundance of small figures to paint. I finished - Executioner, 4 Witchling Stalkers, Guardian, Watcher, 2 Austringers, Soulstone Miner, Large Steampunk Arachnid, Steampunk Arachnid Swarm, Mobile Toolkit, Brass Arachnid, 3 Mechanical Doves, Widow Weaver, 7 Wicked Dolls, 3 Daydreams and 2 Canine Remains. Poor Outcasts, the only faction not to get some love in my painting queue this month! Combining August and September, I've now painted 51 models, and now have 'just' 84 models left - not counting any purchases in the next 4 months. So, considering Kaeris, that count will probably go up... This month I'll be aiming to work on most of the remainder of the Guild and Neverborn, and Kirai's crew will be getting some time. I'll also be attempting to utterly blitz the Outcasts, as of the 82 to go, 38 are from that faction. Here's hoping for 31 this month!

darth tater Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 Great stuff guys! @Geckilian.....are your wicked dolls just the dolls from Zoraida? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nightseer Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 Well, no great progress for me, only 2 minis, altRamos and an Electrical Creation...hope I'll be able to do more in October... Ramos Electrical Creation That's it for now, see ya later! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geckilian Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 Geckilian.....are your wicked dolls just the dolls from Zoraida? Yep, great value! I prefer the look of them, and it was around the same price to get 8 of them rather than a blister of 3 Wicked Dolls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darth tater Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 yeah they do look so much cooler (not a fan of the wicked dolls)...how many come with zoraida and are they separate? @nightseer - great looking Ramos and awesome bases!

Geckilian Posted October 2, 2011 Report Share Posted October 2, 2011 Zoraida naturally comes with one in her hand which isn't usable - however there is a separate sprue with 4, which you can just about make out from the pic if you click on it to get the bigger version - there's the sitting one, a standing one arms outstretched, one staggering along with it's stuffing coming out the stomach, and one with horns. So, buy one Zoraida, get 4 Wicked Dolls free... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rathnard Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 Well I managed to finish mine just in time - a day before I flew over to Perth and two days before October. I'm not too excited by the Captain (I should have given him a silly hat), although I'm very happy with how the Guild Guard turned out. This month will be more models for Lucius' crew. I'm on holiday for two weeks, so there's a very good chance I'll be able to get most (all?) of the crew finished before November. It's a good thing too - I recently bought a Viks and Ramos crew 2nd hand, and have a cunning plan in mind for the Viks in particular... (note these Ronin aren't part of the Tale - I'm just showing off my skills at painting something other than pink. :smugpuppet1 ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonedog-7 Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 Well, here goes, apologies for the photos being taken in a hurry at the games club Have since tidied up McM's shirt and damn has the flash done a horrible number removing the shading i did on his apron, oh well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamHammer Posted October 3, 2011 Report Share Posted October 3, 2011 Thanks to spending most of my time assembling models I've only painted one from my Tale list: But it saves the joker for another month. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rorik36 Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 My September was not as productive as my August. I completed most of my Marcus force in August while we had a league at our LGS. I ended up finishing up my Marcus Avatar at the beginning of the month. The only figures I need to complete for his force are a couple of Night Terrors. I am doing a Dreamer crew for the Tales and only finished up the Dreamer this month. I didn't do much for detail on the figure and now seeing it close up I realized I was really sloppy. Time to get to work on the rest of my Dreamer list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 I need to take some photos of Seamus tomorrow...I only got one model done for Malifaux last month, but he's painted, so I won't complain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cambrius Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 For September, I finished Lady Justice, The Judge, three Death Marshals, and two Guild Guards. I have pics of Justice, Judge, and a DM, and will take pics of the rest soon. The only other models I own at the moment are two Austringers and Scales of Justice. I should be done those in a week or so. Add me to the roster? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishtank Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 Riiight...hope you like pictures...because I got a lot done. First, Guild stuff: The Guardian...painted very simply and very fast. Alt Lady J and the Judge (also did a DM, but didn't take a pic.) Convict 36-24-36 Missy D. Meaner Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishtank Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 (edited) aaaand, the first four Gremlins. These little guys didn't really photograph well, because they're really tiny, I'm using my phone's camera because my better one is old and dying, and I chose a fairly muddy, dull palette on them (they do live in a Bayou after all). The bases are resin, from Fenris games. The tough one (I can never remember which is which...) The big gun one The boss Ophelia The rude one. Group picture. For October I'm aiming to get five more Gremlins done, while I also paint a new Blood Bowl team. Might throw in the Scales of Justice too, as it's the last Guild model I have that isn't painted yet. If I somehow get all of that stuff done, then I'll be moving on to a Seamus crew. Edited October 4, 2011 by fishtank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eudaimon Posted October 4, 2011 Report Share Posted October 4, 2011 OK, I am in for this, starting this month. I pretty much finished my Raspy crew at the end of last month (until the blessed is out) and you can see the results in my sig. So, on with Collette as part of this.
