El Indio Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Nicodem looks even better, and I love the checked pattern on Mortimer's scarf; it really gives him more of that old-school horror-movie theme. I must say, the Ressers probably have some of the most characterful models in the game. It's a shame they require such an investment to play.

Mr. Bigglesworth Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Gaming standard :Paralyzed_Puppet: I just love Nico and those punks. Those are iron painter quality. Only improvement I could see is your basing, its generic (it's really good generic!!!, like Nico's is great) but it lacks originality. I can't wait to see more.

Synthet Posted April 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Thank´s to all of you! About the gaming standard, not my intention to step on anybodys toes about that. And if someone had taken offence about that, I´m deeply sorry. Viruk: Has Nico a sword? I painted it as a cane, but i´ll try to snap some photos from a diffrent angel. Mr. Biggelsworth: Thank´s for your opinion. I can agree that the bases are a bit common. I´ll think I´ll stick to that look on the Ressurectionist to get a unifor look on them. But bases are not my strongest skill, I don´t mind build them but when it comes to paint them I usually rush them. Maybe that´s why I stick to the "common/safe" bases. I will go and pick up the Rasputina box today and I might be a bit bolder on them:) Here is Mortimer, I finished him last night and that lad was sure great fun to paint! I´ll probably buy another Mortimer sometimes just to paint it upp differently. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthet Posted April 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 I´ll did manage to take at least one decent picture of the whole crew. But man, it´s really hard to take pictures of more then one mini! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonn Agram Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 excellent looking crew! the blades (and shovel) are fantastic as is the vulture... awesome stuff! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viruk Posted April 13, 2012 Report Share Posted April 13, 2012 Sure it's a cane, my mistake Mortimer looks excellent too, the clothes and metallics on the spade are superb but what really makes this mini look great is his face - you certainly did justice to this mini.

Synthet Posted April 14, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 Thank´s a lot! I had a painting session with a friend of mine last night (well, mostly chatting but anyway) and I actually started and finnished a mini at the same night! I did a Vulture for Nicodem and I also started to paint Dr. Douglas McMourning. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewartoad Posted April 14, 2012 Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 Fantastic!!! They have that "Walking Dead" feel to them! Awesome work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viruk Posted April 14, 2012 Report Share Posted April 14, 2012 Wow, you're a fast painter, aren't you? There are still some areas that need improvement on McMourning (base, boots, sleeves) but having seen your previous work I'm sure you'll end up with a great looking mini in the end.

Synthet Posted April 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2012 Thank´s. I don´t know about the fast painter, sometimes I just got lucky with my painting and get´s a flow. But then it can come weeks without finishing a miniature. No painting yesterday, starting to feel like the flu is coming. I hope I feel better today as McMourning want´s to be finished and so are some Mindless zombies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Bigglesworth Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 That vulture is came out great very alive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthet Posted April 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 Ok, my Dr. Douglas McMourning is done. He was a testminiature in wich I tried to sculpt a base using greenstuff and the painting blood this way. In the past I have tried to paint blood rarely, because I just couldnt seems to get it the right color. This time I used Tamiyas clear read with a hint of brown in it. It looks far better then the minis I have done in the past. I also tried to sculpt the cobblestone on the base, needs improvment but with practice comes perfect. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viruk Posted April 16, 2012 Report Share Posted April 16, 2012 Blood looks just right - perfect shade of red for this gory effect. I also like the way you painted his shirt - nice element of contrast in this rather dark color scheme. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthet Posted April 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 Thank´s Viruk, yes I like the contrast with the shirt to. A bright shirt makes him a bit more scarier, the mad doctor. I did two mindless zombies last night, so for my Resurectionist there is a Grave spirit, 3 Necropunks and a flesh construct to be painted. then I´ll startt on the Rasputina box (if I´m not buying more Resurectionists stuff that it:P) Hmm...pic´s kind of sucks, but at least they show some colors on the minis.

Synthet Posted April 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 No Malifaux minis this time, but insted a WIP shoot of a wh40k diorama. Since I see a lot of people here with sharp eye´s and great idea´s I thought I could show it here as well. Both the darkest shadows and the stronger highligts is yet to be done, but as it´s still WIP, a lot can change;) A few more pic´s here http://paintsandstuff.blogspot.se/2012/04/diorama-wip.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonn Agram Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 this looks really cool, terrain is great and once the final painting is done it'll be great. the only minus in my eyes is that the colours of the Tyranid and the SM are similar (but that might be just the photo). btw., how did you make the icicles? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthet Posted April 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 It´s partially the photo, but I see your point. I might shade the Tyranids body in green instead, maybe that will do the trick. The icicles are done using water effect gel from Vallejo. Great stuff, but it will take a while... Once this is done I can write a step-by-step showing how it´s done.

Demonn Agram Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 (edited) do you mean Extra Heavy Gel? if so, then I'm ok 'cause I have it and will try it If I were you, I'd try to lighten it but remain in those greys so it'll mimic the terrain around it. Somehow I find that they should be addaptive to thier environment and if you add some green it'll just look off... (just my 1/50 $) Edited April 20, 2012 by Demonn Agram Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthet Posted April 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 (edited) No, it´s not extra heavy gel, it just say´s "Water effect" on the jar but I guess it´s almost the same thing. That stuff might even be better. Edit: this one Edited April 20, 2012 by Synthet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonn Agram Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 if it's a white paste/gel that sets transparent than it's the same (just for a different market, I guess)... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthet Posted April 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Then it is the same. Confusing with different labels;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthet Posted May 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2012 Have been painting someting other then Malifaux for a while, but I started the flesh construct. Thought that I should show it, even it´s still an early WIP 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthet Posted May 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 Flesh construct for Nicodem. I think I will stop painting him now since I got a few more of the ressurectiuonists I want to paint before next week. Then they will be brought to the streets of Malifaux! I´m really looking forward to play a game with painted miniatures. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viruk Posted May 6, 2012 Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 Yet another great looking mini from you. I really like the way you paint skin, be it human or zombie, this is the part that always stands out the most to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synthet Posted May 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 6, 2012 Thank you Viruk. Next for my Resurectuionist are some Necropunks, hopefully at least one will be done in one or two days. If not...I´m a bad person, I primed one of the Ice gamins from the Rasputina box earlier today...even thou I promised myself to wait untill all the Resurectionists where done;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
