Angels_blade Posted September 24, 2012 Report Share Posted September 24, 2012 Hi all, I've been an avid gamer since the early 90's but have only very recently discovered the wonderful world of Malifaux thanks to our local henchman Oz. I've started with an Arcanist crew, namely Kaeris and have been running her box in our LGS' Malifaux campaign to good effect. I have since purchased Rasputina's box and a few blisters (Iggy and Johan). This is going to be my log of the painting of these miniatures plus the gaming table I am building. I've only painted a single gunsmith so far and the picture quality is poor (iphone in a bedroom) but hopefully you lot can give me some sound advice. She isn't based properly yet but all of my crew will be on desert scrub bases. Cheers All I hope to keep you regularly updated AB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viruk Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 The quality of the pic isn't very good as it's blurry and the lighting is bad. Try shooting it in daylight and on a more coherent background. Still, I can tell that the paintjob seems really nice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angels_blade Posted September 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Apologies for the poor pictures but at present I'm only able to use my phone to get pictures. I have finished the Gunsmith and have now started on Kaeris. I'm finding skin very difficult to paint as I've never done it before but I hope you can see what I'm going for here. The gold on her wings is a bit off on the highlights but I'm getting there! The lighting is a bit better but I'll try to put some white paper behind them next time!

Viruk Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Now we're talking! The pics are much, much better and I can now appreciate the quality of painting. The gunsmith's hair and skin look very nice. The cloak is excellent too. I'd suggest playing with dry pigments - you'd be able to easily get a nice worn look. And Kaeris looks really nice so far, once again great skin tone and I like the metallics on her wings though perhaps you could try to add some dark ink/wash between individual feathers.

Balefirestorm Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Your painting on Kaeris is really great. Really nice models. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angels_blade Posted September 30, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 Wow, thanks guys been a busy weekend Painted Kaeris although she's on a temporary base until I get my base inserts but I'm really very pleased with how she came out. Started work on my Fire Gamins will post when I figure out how to paint fire! In addition to my Kaeris crew my LGS just got a restock of Malifaux so I bought myself a treat! Rasputina's crew is so I can pick and choose from the Acanists and have a good master to lead Kaeris in larger games. Lady Justice is just too damn pretty to not own!

Ozz Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 It all looks very nice, still hate that you were sleep deprived when you did Kaeris though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Viruk Posted September 30, 2012 Report Share Posted September 30, 2012 The skin tone and wings look fantastic. The cloak could have used more mid tones but overall she looks very, very nice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angels_blade Posted October 1, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 1, 2012 Wow really nice responses guys. I can't believe I've only just discovered these things I just can't stop painting them! Not based yet but i've started my fire gamins. Everything is a massive learning experience. Lets see. Never painted skin before, never painted clothes before and now I'm painting freaking fire! I'm begining to think I should have picked another box to start with! Cheers all AB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angels_blade Posted October 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 3, 2012 Right I'm having trouble with basing and I need your help! As you can see I've gone for a desert basing scheme on Kaeris but I'm not completely sold. I want to base all my arcanists the same so they look right when picked as a crew so the choice is simple. Victorian streets i.e cobbles and kerbstones or Desert rocks as you can see on Kaeris. The models I still have to base/paint are: 3 x fire gamin 2 x gunsmith Johan Iggy Rasputina 3 x Ice gamin Ice Gollum Guardian Acolyte of December Silent One Myranda Cerberus Rattler Marcus So I leave it open to your experienced minds Cheers AB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angels_blade Posted October 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 Right'o bit of a change of plan, my LGS is having a tournement in a couple of weeks 30ss up to 3 proxy/conversions providing you have cards for them so I've decided to paint a special crew and try to win the best painted award. I've decided on Guild led by Lady J, 3 death marshals, a judge, nino ortega (or friekorps tracker I haven't decided), an Austrider and a Guardian. If anyone has any additional suggestions please let me know. Obviously I know thats more than 30ss but seen as you can change your crew each game I thought i'd have some variety. Anyway this is a painting thread so I better show some minis! Here is my Lady Justice! Cheers all C&C welcome AB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozz Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 I hate you, i hate you, i hope you know this But ofc it is all in a friendly way, no mean hating here ---------- Post added at 11:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:26 PM ---------- Maybe one day ill have the energy and patience to learn to paint properly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gubnutz Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 These looks great. A darker look on the lady J stuff but that is to be expected I guess. I really love the look of your stuff so far and look forward to seeing what you do with the Death marshals. Gub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angels_blade Posted October 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Aww please don't I'm only trying to share...:-P Here is the first of my Death Marshalls, I guess she's a new recruit cos she don't seem to harshly affected! And with the other 2 Death Marshalls' bases Cheers All AB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huang Da Wei Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 That is a nice pair of buns. sorry, I mean nice paint job. I am starting to see more of the coloured bases and I am not sold on them yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wings Posted October 7, 2012 Report Share Posted October 7, 2012 Your Lady J is lovely. She looks really good in black. I don't think I've seen such an... enthusiastic... looking Death Marshall before. Very nice painting on her. Her top in particular looks good.

Angels_blade Posted October 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 Yes she is a little enthusiastic isn't she! Here are the rest of the Death Marshals. I'm pleased with the overall look but I think I may have rushed the last two I don't know they just don't look as good. What do you think? Next up is the Judge, then the Austrider and Guardian Cheers AB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuro Posted October 8, 2012 Report Share Posted October 8, 2012 I prefer to see melty faces on death marshals, but really sweet paint job just the same. They're really striking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
