nice work on these ! they look great .

Sorry, Omenbringer I haven't mastered the lighting just yet. But hopefully slightly better. Got some ideas for a lightbox that I need to try out.

I wouldn't be so hard on your self, those aren't bad photos at all. In fact "Buff Guy" is pretty well done in particular. I would recommend adding some more illumination under the models though.

Thanks guys.

Decker - When I pick up the rail crew I plan on trying some mostly living MS&U crews with Kaeris.

Omenbringer - will look into that. I think I need a decent third lamp for complete light "immersion".

Not much to report on the painting sides. I am still sitting in Lagos so I have run out of (Malifaux) models. Hoping to pick up Rail Golem and Rail crew next week - Woohoo. Some friends for Kaeris and my miners.

So instead I have been working on some more terrain.

Unfortunately my girlfriend left back for SA...with the camera so these are taken from my phone and I couldn't get the light right. Also the colour is a little washed out but you should get the idea. These are generic gaming pieces for the club and intended to fit into fantasy-esque settings for Malifaux or Warhammer.

First up my Mausoleum:

Front door

One wing

Other wing

Back end

I had a mammoth amount of half assembled models and bits of terrain and hoarded bits all over my study. So yesterday I cleaned them up - no small feat. And afterwards I was staring at one of the old LotR statues and some foam scraps. A couple of hours later and I had this:

It is now watertight, gaps are filled and ready for a paint job and some water effects. This was tremendous fun to put together.

Enjoy

Been a LONG time since I have posted here.

Mainly because I was stuck in Lagos without a camera.

So here are some Malifaux models I painted for one of my mates. He is a super keen gamer, but hates painting. And since he is always at store playing I wanted him to be more of an advertisement for Malifaux.

Starting off with the Waif:

Then the steam punk abominations. I struggled to get some good pics with these guys, and since they are no longer in my possession they are the best I will get:

Now for Rusty Alyce:

And the main man, Leveticus. Also not the best photo:

Enjoy. These guys were a blast to paint. Now I am off to go play with some of the new Wyrd plastic models, which are super great. So you will see some more Arcanist stuff from me soon. On the desk: Rail Crew box, Willie and Rail Golem.

Now that's what I call good advertisement! They all look very nice, keep up the great job!

Metalhed,

Your the truth, good/contasting color choices, mixed with good basing, mixed with good shading. Most of the painters work I look at is missing 1 or more of these elements, but you have them all. Your hit the mark keep shooting.

Thanks guys! Much appreciated.
