Addicted to crews

Well, let me see, started playing Malifaux about 6months or so ago and it really got the club fired up... i say club there's 4 of us who regularly play

Even though i was the last one to buy in and get a crew i think I've now overtaken all the others

So... painting... I'm not much of a painter, preferring to game instead but I've started taking a small setup in to work with me and i paint in my lunch breaks and occasionally in the evenings

The result is that I've not started experimenting with blending and you won't be blown away by astonishing works of art, there's only going to be some pretty basic table top quality minis turning up on here but turn up they will (honest)

And on to some of the minis themselves...

Neverborn - fair few reps that are having actual minis bought up too, but i love the Hell Dorado sculpts and couldn't bear not to find a home for them in game

My Daemonic Twins - Lelu & Lilitu

Twisted Silurids

Stitched - love these sculpts

Rest of the Neverborn - mostly bare metal, few WiP

Pandora (going to be using puppet version as i don't like either normal sculpt), Zoraida, Voodoo Doll, Collodi, 4 Marionettes, 3 Wicked Dolls, 3 Sorrows, Candy & Kade

Freikorps

Von Schill himself isn't there as thanks to a mould line across his head he's now in desperate need of a hat or a full head swap... Also got Taelor, a Convict Gunslinger, 2 Ronin & a Desperate Merc to join them

Arcanists -

Ramos & Co to follow... Ramos is the mini that sold me on Malifaux along with Baby Kade and he's nearly finished and ready to photo... along with that i have 9 Spiders (6 in the process of being Magnetized), Rusty Alyce, a Soulstone Miner & a Large Arachnid

Also thanks to Rezzers, Neverborn and a friend getting 2 masters in his crew box i only need a couple more additions for a Marcus crew :)

Rezzers -

All pics to follow, but a McMourning crew, a Seamus crew and a Kirai crew so LOTS of minis

Guild -

Only Dead Justice and a couple of additions, still deciding on basing :)

Well, that's it for now... i'll try to regularly update this as i'm desperately trying to break the back of the mountain of bare metal and actually finish things, but with Christmas looming and a baby on the way shortly after i have a feeling my time will run out first

--------------------------------------------------

*edit*

So with my Malifaux buys being forced into a standstill for a while (bought alot just before and after Christmas to round lists out) and actually, all my gaming purchases are coming to a standstill as there's a brand new Malifaux citizen expected at the end of next month :D

In view of the fact this list is unlikely to grow by much (except for replacing my Kirai crew) I figured i'd get a complete list up to tick stuff off as i complete it -

Still... currently working on the Ronin, Large SPA mainly (not much as i'm painting some Retibution stuff too)... but hoping to finish them up shortly and then i'll likely start on something else... Lilith if my Microart bases arrive, Dead J if not and i can attempt to paint dead flesh

Very true Dsmiles, i think most people are, it's just such a good system :)

I'll try to get some WiP stuff up in the next day or so and keep the first post for completed models... i mustn't let this die like i have when i've done this kind of thing before

And more minis have arrived... Ronin to go with my Freikorps, some puppets just because i love the little buggers and wanted to swap them in for the standard minis (Pandora, Joss & a Gunslinger) and a Doppelganger, something i've been putting off getting for a while :)

Nice to see progress with the models, even if you have got a fair few crews. Hopefully i can get myself to a similar level of motivation, since i just got 2 crews and am planning on getting 2 more over the holidays. My wallet is going to hate me, hopefully i can prevent my conscience from doing the same by painting my purchases!

Jasonfly - I'll admit the motivation is a little forced at times, but it's not like i don't enjoy painting either

Lovemachine - Yeah, i've lost track of how many times i've made that promise for every system i've played since i started gaming about 15years ago... and i'm almost at the point that i can field a fully painted force that i didn't receive fully painted :)

Still, minor update time -

WiP Ramos, Baby Kade & Candy

Ramos still needs some work on his coat to make the shading and highlighting stand out as it just plain doesn't at the moment

Kade is about finished, going to darken the knife handle but that's it

Candy just needs some highlighting on her hair if i feel up to it... and yes, there's a blue/yellow theme with my neverborn wherever i can fit it in, if nothing else they're all getting yellow eyes

(2) Summon Nearly Abandoned Thread -

So although being at work and having had some camera problems i don't have much of an update i figured i'd drag this thread back from the depths already

Christmas was alot more hectic than i'd expected, but it has bought me a slew of bare metal to get to work on... but, progress -

I've now based up and will be painting my Dead Justice crew in the near future - sewer bases, currently the box +2 watchers as Ryle & Witchlings are still being stripped down

Prepped and ready to undercoat a Lilith box set the moment the resin bases i've ordered come through

Received pretty much all of the other Neverborn that i want including enough to run a Dreamner crew... just got todecide on the basing for it and make up more "creepy forest" for the stuff i'll be adding specifically to the Pandora and Zoraida themes

Still yet to decide how to base my Collodi stuff... just no idea on that one

Decided to re-base my Rezzers from the mechanica style bases they're on currently to ruined city/sewer types to tie in the Dead J setup with them

My 2 Ronin & stand-in desperate merc for my freikorps are about half complete while the stand-in Convict Gunslinger is complete

Finished up Zoraida, Ramos, Candy & Kade... pics will be up here & in the "Tale of" thread as soon as my camera starts behaving again

So yeah... been a busy one :D

Right, camera is behaving again so time to treat those who are reading to some pics

Dead J crew based - Definitely need to carve up the watchers wings a little to make them look damaged... bases are a couple of sewer base inserts from Wyrd and some of the awesome sewer bases from Dark Templar's Malcontent range

DSC01306.jpg

Completed Crooked Men - bases aren't tidied up, as i mentioned last post i'm going to be re-basing my rezzers soon so just left them as is

DSC01298.jpg

Ramos & Zoraida - an odd couple :happypuppet1 but hey, they're finished

DSC01302.jpg

And the GW scummer that's going in to my Freikorps crew as a convict gunslinger... always loved this model so glad to have a good reason to paint it up and use it

DSC01299.jpg

DSC01300.jpg

And WiP's

Ronin - slow going thanks to Christmas, but here's the progress

DSC01304.jpg

Large Arachnid - again it's taken longer than expected, but it should be complete soon
