Demonn Agram Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 (edited) The Rotten Harvest is over so I decided to post some of my models here. they will mostly be Malifaux (but there will also be other manufacturers as well...) so feel free to commetn and/or criticize... This is my first crew - Ramos (some of you'll recognize some of these fellows from the competition... Ramos: Steamborg: Arachnids (I used GW Necron Scarabs just to get a bit more of them - my friend had those spare after finishing his Necron army - and I feel they do feel a bit steampunkish): Arachnid swarms: Totem: Electrical creation: Edited November 22, 2011 by Demonn Agram Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dustcrusher Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 About the only criticism I can offer is that the source lighting from the flame on Ramos is a bit harsh- it could use more transition from the blue to Ramos' natural colors. That said, these look great, and I'd be proud to put them on the gaming table :thumb: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll have to work on that in the future.. chariots1.pdf [ATTACH]9252[/ATTACH]Statut Agram2010.pdf Edited November 11, 2012 by Demonn Agram Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardshark Posted November 22, 2011 Report Share Posted November 22, 2011 These are really great. I might suggest a coat of matte spray to take the shine off the gloss varnish- the light reflected off the glassy coating in the "real world" is working against the illusion of lighting you are crating with your painting. I really like the Steamborg's legs! Cool choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dwug Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 Nice work. I particularly like the work you did on the Steamborg. The legs look great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonn Agram Posted November 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 Thanks for the nice comments, I decided that the blue plasma (or something) should be the tie in for all the modelsin the crew... To continue with my other warbands, currently WIP. Seamus and his ladies: I'll be using Collette as Sybelle and cassandra as Bette Noir. And also the two semi-painted models in the back (GW's Eowyn and Goldberry) I'll be using either as Belles or as Doxies (as need arises).. My VonSchill crew: Trapper and Freikorpsman: Trapper with a Rotten Harvest addition to the base: All of the bases - now with pumpkins (green stuff) and wanted posters of Leveticus, Seamus and Rasputina: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeafNala Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 All your pieces are VERY WELL DONE, but the Trapper & the Freikorpsman are OUTSTANDING...I love what you did with the bases. :fing02: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoeRender Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 Nice work love the bases , just looks like there going to shed a lot in the case over time . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonn Agram Posted November 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 (edited) Actually they won't shed For the leaves on the trees I used GF9 foliage After first gluing it with PVA glue onto the trees (made from GW branches of hte Citadel Wood set) and waiting for the glue to set, I covered it with superglue (I use Loctite Super Attack) and let the foliage (sponge) suck it. After drying, it is hard as a rock and ready for painting. I drybrushed it all with various shades of red/orange/yellow..

Demonn Agram Posted November 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 Thanks mate... Being such a slooooow day at work it gives me time to add another post here. but what? now that you met some of the inhabitants of the Demonn's lair, it's time to show you how one lair was built... (and also because I ran out of painted Malifaux models to show - need to paint faster ) I'll write about a piece of terrain that my friend and I built some 8 years ago. Me and my friend (sgt. Colon) were building this terrain for three months (almost every day a couple of hours). Then we exhibited it on our biggest tournament and played a game on it. Afterwards, while he was driving the boards and all of the terrain back to our ''HQ'', the boards fell on the monastery: needless to say I was $$$$$$$$ed off... and I am ashamed to say I did not conduct myself in an dignified manner but eventually I cooled down We could not bring ourselves to even look at the piece, let alone fix it! Time went by.. months, even years... but finally we decided, enough was enough and we set out to fix the unfixable. we told ourselves we are gonna build it newer, bigger and older than before we built on... once done we painted it anew and did the final touches: and it was done! hope you like it... (writing this did manage me to kill some time) thanks for the attention Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demonn Agram Posted November 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 Here are some more photos of the terrain above in use. This was a game of Mordheim taht my friend and I played exclusively with Heroes (no henchmen were involved). The warbands were assembled according to the one game rules at the end of the main book (with every upgrade paid in gold coins) One side was Possessed (with a Magister, 2 Possessed and 2 Mutants) The other side consisted of two warbands - Sisters of Sigmar (my version of it - Brothers of Sigmar because Sigmar HAD no sister ) - with Brother Superior, 3 Brothers of Sigmar and an Augur and Witchhunters (WH Captain, 3 WHs and a Warrior priest here are some photos in action.. As you can guess, the Possessed won... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonn Agram Posted November 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 Here is another board made by my club (UMS "Agram"). This one is for the board game Pirate's Cove: the board itself is 1m x 1m large. The volcano in the middle is detachable. some close-ups: In the volcano there is a fogger (a machine that makes fog out of water).. our club logo (made as a compass) some WIP photos: putting the electronics on the board. Each house on every island has a small LED (3mm) in it. Power was derived from the Fogger machine adapter. it modified the electricity (220V AC - powergrid in Croatia) to 24V AC. We then put in a Graetz bridge (I think is called) to transform the 24V AC into 24 V DC (with 2V loss so we got 22V DC). this then could power our LEDs with appropriate resistors.. (if someone has questions about this part, I'd be glad to answer in more detail..) We built our own boats: The town (crew Island) The fort (Cannon Island) The board Painting the sea: Mixing the two part resin (Gedeo Crystal Resin) with blue paint More photos of the finished board: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dsmiles Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 What color blue paint did you use to get the water that shade, and what ratio of epoxy:paint? I've been trying to get a nice blue like that for years, and haven't done it yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonn Agram Posted November 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 ok, I'll need a couple more pics... first I painted the board white: Then I painted it blue (various shades): I used Pebeo Deco colours - I think I started with a 1:4 mixture of Dark Blue and White and I progressively added more Blue to the mix and painted the darker areas smaller and smaller (I was aiming for a shade similar to GW Enchanted blue in the end). Once done and dry, I mixed the Gedeo Crystal Resin (ratio 2:1) and added a bit of Pebeo Vitrail Turquoise Blue a drop or two is enough. I believe i made about 600mL (20Fl oz I believe) of resin for that board and used 15ml of colour (0.5 FL oz). But if I were you, I'd add a drop at a time and stir well then look at the result in the mixing pot. Than add more colour if needed... It's kinda hard to get the ratio right and once you overdo there is no going back (unless you add more resin and that tends to be a bit pricey ) This is a large area to cover, when I make little ponds like here, I give the resin a drop or two only... For the greens I use also Pebeo Vitrail colour Dark Green When doing bases, I try to do a group at a time (5-10 bases) because of that small ratio of colour involved. If that's not possible I use Vallejo Still Water (it is one component resin - easy to use and can be tinted with Vallejo colours) Hope that helped...

Demonn Agram Posted December 1, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 I have played Pirates Cove quite a few times, and enjoyed it. And I have to say that custom board is one excellent piece of work. It looks great. I love the game. It is easy to learn and even when under influence ( ) you can still play competitively. Of course like in every dice based game, a lot rides on pure luck. And also, I like the fact that you can "harass" a single opponent (pick one of your friends and always go to the same island as he - so you have to fight it out...). Neither of you will win, but it is still fun Perfect, though I may have to order those paints. I've never seen that brand in any US stores. The store that held Pebeo/Gedeo products in Zagreb recently went under, so I looked online and this is the store I found. They hold almost everything I need at a reasonable price.. It has resin in two sizes 750ml and 300ml They also hold a precoloured resin Thier colours for dying the resin:turquoise and emerald And my (almost) favourite product - SILIGUM It is a two component material (somewhat like Green/Grey Stuff to use) used for creating moulds. Simple moulds, but moulds nonetheless. perfect for making duplicates of hatches, doors and other flat stuff... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonn Agram Posted December 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 2, 2011 (edited) Back to Malifux a bit... Recently I bought Seamus Avatar of Dread and he during the trip he lost his right leg somewhere along the way The kind folks at Wyrd sent me a replacement (only the torso, of course), but when this one arrived his leg was also broken (must have a postal worker with a grudge ) Ok, so now I can assemble one whole Seamus Avatar of dread. But it would be a pity to leave the torso without a leg just lying aside. For a while I was thinking what to do with the disfunctional torso. I came up with this idea.. For the right arm (which is metal on the original Seamus) I used the power claw from the plastic ork warboss from Black Reach (you 40k guys will know what I'm talking about) and for the missing leg I used a metal foot from Mega Nob (also 40k)... Now, I'm not completely satisfied with it, because although it will be fun to paint, I do not really need two Avatars of dread so I thought of this nest. Chop him of at the belly (where his trousers end) Then, carefully remove his left leg where it joins the right hand, and use the other leg from the Mega nob on the legs. Place a magnet in the legs part and also in the body so I can reassemble Seamus Avatar of Dread Steampunk version, if I ever need it.. But as a main idea, I decided to use the upper torso for a scratch built Steamborg using the lower part of a Necron Destroyer (again 40k...). In it I will also place a magnet.. onto it I plan to glue the legs from the Ork Killa Kan that's the general plan.. what do you ,guys, think?
