Balefirestorm Posted September 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 And finally back on track. Haven't really had much time for painting and my inspiration hit a low, but finally I've managed to get going again. After having the misfortune of my alt Seamus suffering the bitter effects of frosting. I decided to get the old version of him. He's still not fully done. Have few more details to work on, but for now.... here's the charmer himself: And what would he be without his beloved madam? So here she is. Miss Naughty herself: of course followed by a classy lady C & C is welcome as usual. Cheers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miss Naughty herself: of course followed by a classy lady C & C is welcome as usual. Cheers I've always been a huge fan of the Seamus original sculpt and you seem to have gotten it done VERY well. The contrast between the articles of clothing (each) and the hat are superb. If I may make a suggestion regarding the blade of Seamus's weapon: I wish it was either more shiny or more rusted (by rusted i'm thinking a black basecoat with a dark gray second coat, followed by a light coating of gunmetal). Maybe it's just the lighting but I don't know that the bayonette-esque tip is metallic enough in either of these respects. Other than that I completely approve! ~Kalkris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balefirestorm Posted September 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2012 Thanks a lot. I tried to use the same theme as on the earlier alt version I painted and it worked out well on the original sculpt as well. I really do like the alt sculpt, but don't really like the extra Belle attached to alt Seamus. I will be adding some brighter points to the blade as well as a small amount of gore to the blade and the saw. My intention is trying to use non-metallic colors just to get more experienced in the NMM technique. Still a long way to go though. Thanks once again for the comment and praise.

Balefirestorm Posted September 2, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 Now the Mad hatter is finally done. Even managed to give him the evil gleam in the right eye. Hope to bring him to the field this upcoming week. There's jugulars that needs slitting Belle nr 2 is also done. Have to admit that I'm no big fan of painting their umbrellas, but still quite pleased with the result. Can anyone guess where I picked the color schemes for my beloved Belles by the way? And a sneak peak of an upcoming model. Please enjoy: Till next time... ta ta 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viruk Posted September 2, 2012 Report Share Posted September 2, 2012 Seamus looks ace, nice color scheme and very good paintjob. The base is great too. The belle looks very nice too. The colors ring a bell but I can't put my finger on the source of inspiration... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ModollerMorgan Posted September 3, 2012 Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 Been forever since i made a comment here, however i must say i'm glad to see so many nice minis done. My guess for the belles are some disney princesses. Oh and a tip about the frosting on your figs; moisture is what causes the problem so have hair dryer on hand and blow hot air on the fig before applying the protecting layer. I heard that frost from previous layers will dissapear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balefirestorm Posted September 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2012 Thank you guys for the comments, and great to see you back Morgan. You're on the right track with your guess. The yellow belle is based on the yellow dresses used by both Belle (hey hey hey) and Jane from Disney. The red belle though has another source of inspiration Regarding the frosting. I will try and remember that for the future. I already stripped the paint unfortunately :/ But I'll try and paint Lilith more or less the same way again. Now I've already painted a new Seamus.

Balefirestorm Posted September 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 (edited) Finally a new update. Two new models are done. Don't know what happened with the white balance in the pictures of miss Noir, but just have to take some more pictures tomorrow. Still want to post them here, so you get a taste of what's to come First up then... miss Noir: (Edit - replaced with corrected picture in newer post) Made a special conversion there. Didn't like the original sculpt. To me the original sculpt looks a little like a shooting range target. And I didn't really want to buy the alternate. So then I re-built her just a tiny bit And nr 2 is my first Crooked man: C & C is welcome as usual.

Lagapul Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 I love your Seamus Crew! Very nice looking! Funny Fact: My girlfriend picked almost the same colour theme as you did.^^ Bete Noir is really cool! You don't see that every day. Did you do the lower (tentacletype) thingy with greenstuff?

Balefirestorm Posted September 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 Thanks a lot. Heh. Great minds think alike? The tentacle thingy is made of metal wire clad in green stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balefirestorm Posted September 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 So I managed to correct the white balance issue of miss Noire. So here she is in all her gory... I mean glory: Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viruk Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 I like the choice of colors as they complement each other nicely. The painting is very nice too. I hope to get a chance to play against your crew one day as the game is even more enjoyable when there are nicely painted minis on the table.

Balefirestorm Posted September 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 thanks a lot for the kind words. Hopefully soonish, our crews will be battling it out. Is there any new plans of a gathering this fall by the way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viruk Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 Looks like there might be a store interested in Malifaux in Warsaw (at least they allow to play it there) so it may be a chance to really see how many people who play Malifaux are there in the area. A gathering is always possible but getting more people to come is a different story... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balefirestorm Posted September 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 Sounds great. Might be a good idea to drop by there then and play a few games. Need more experience in the game and are still trying to get more people into the game here in Krakow (going slow though). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balefirestorm Posted September 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Next model is halfway done (unexpected advantages of sick leave). Hopefully he will be done this evening. And the clue for this model is: "Fee-fi-fo-fum....":ghost: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinocchio Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Oh my freakin' days! You have really excelled yourself here! I love how you have done the puppets, especially the wicked dolls with the blood oozing from the stitch work. Keep up the good work, and thanks for sharing these photos with us!

Demonn Agram Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 I really like revisiting this thread! great job(s) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balefirestorm Posted September 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Thanks all. I'm trying to keep the blog alive, even if I've noticed more and more that real life (damn you) is stealing my beloved hobby time. I try to get some bursts of painting once or twice a week, so that's the reason there's fewer updates. The model's left for Seamus crew selection are the following: Avatar Seamus, Copycat killer, Onryo, Rotten Belle and a Hanged. After that I will probably jump over to the next Master project. And I would like to hear your opinion regarding which one to choose. Skipping Hamelin (still awaiting the errata before playing him) I have the following masters: - McMourning, Nicodem, "Molly" - Victorias, Som'er Teeth, "von Schill", "Ophelia" - Lilith, Dreamer (last few models) or Pandora. Please put a small motivation as well. Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonn Agram Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 I'd finish the Dreamer (if I were you), then on to the outcasts (human ones). you can add most of them to any faction so they're most useful to have... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balefirestorm Posted September 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Only have 6 models left for the dreamer: Insidious Madness, 2 Night terrors, Lelu, Lilitu and Teddy. So that is a good idea. Might even leave out Lelu and Lilitu since I don't really like their models. Decisions decisions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balefirestorm Posted September 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 One.. Two.... he's coming for you. And now finally: The Avatar of Dread!! Not happy with how the photo turned out though. It doesn't make the model justice. Still, want to put it up for display here on the forum. Comments and critique is welcome *happy* 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttsgosadow Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 Your painting is top-notch! Nice to see aSeamus in another colour then green - suits him well. Less hulky feel, more jeckyl/hyde. That's the kind of paintingskills I aspire to Just painting a lot will eventually get you there, right?

Balefirestorm Posted September 27, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 Wow thanks a lot. I was thinking more along the lines of Hyde from League of Gentlemen. I still like the Hulk theme, but prefer the Jekyll/Hyde theme more. Painting a lot, being very stubborn and a willingness to play around actually got me where I am today with painting. Once again, thanks for the kind words- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
