gubnutz Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 Here is my first crew assembled this week and primed yesterday. I was able to start the paint last night and will try and get some more this evening. This is my first crew fro Malifaux. Went with Ramos because I loved the Steamborg to be honest. Of course the rest of the stuff is solid to boot so it was a done deal. I realize I will more than likely need more arachnids as well as a mobile toolkit soon but do not have those yet and figured paint what you have. I will be posting progress as it goes. I have been painting for years but never malifaux, in the que I have loads of Ressers, Seamus, McMourning, Nico, as well as a pretty large Ortega crew that I will be painting for my wife.

Viruk Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 Nice start, like the look of the bases. I'll be following your progress with keen interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttsgosadow Posted October 6, 2012 Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 It's easy to see the detail on the miniatures allready. Looking forward to the painted figures. I also like Ramos a lot! What colour scheme do you plan on using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gubnutz Posted October 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 6, 2012 Thanks. I really liked the bases, just seems to fit. @ttsgosadow, I am thinking that I will be using Purple and Green as the main colors. Will of course have some browns and metallics in there for the constructs. I am looking forward to/hesitant to try some OSL on Ramos. It is not something I have ever done but I think it would look right on the flame he has in his hand. Looking to get some paint on these tonight so I will post some progress as it is made.

gubnutz Posted October 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 OK here is the steamborg. Woke up this morning to a rain storm so the outside lighting options were limited. I still am thinking I will touch up the green gems on the front a bit and would like to coat the slime on the base in a hardcoat to make it look wet. He is sealed though so not a lot more will be done. This is the first fig I have painted in some time due to school/work. Been around 6-8 months. So far I really like the figures. A bit fiddly at some points but once they are assembled and primed things went well. Comments welcome. Not a master painter by any means but I do enjoy painting.

Metalhed Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 I think the skin tone clashes with the cobbles. I recommend changing one or the other - probably the cobbles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
underdog6750 Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 I love the skin tone but do agree with metalhed that it clashes with the cobbles in my own opinion though. Great detail on both the mini and base Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metalhed Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Yeah definitely think keep the skin and rather change cobbles. Your rust looks good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gubnutz Posted October 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Thanks to both of you for the input and the suggestions. I will ask though, what color would work with the stones? I have also done the stones on Ramos' base in the same color. They are sealed but I could work something out on the bases I think. I liked the purple/green/orange combo. More pronounced on Ramos as he has orange hair. The bases were just because I like the look of the red gore with the other colors. I did not even think about the skin tone clashing. So open to suggestions for the cobbles before I paint the spiders I have waiting on the que. Gub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viruk Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 The paintjob is very clean and well done. I've seen better results on this one but it looks very nice nonetheless and will look even better on the table Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metalhed Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 I would go with a grey of some sort, prob with a light blue (or green or purple) hint to it. I generally try to add a little colour to grey to make it less dull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gubnutz Posted October 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Thanks Viruk, needed something to get me back into the painting groove and this thing grabbed my attention quickly. Have seen it a while back and liked it though I had no idea what game it was for at the time. Metalhed: Gray seems a solid choice. I think that perhaps a blue as the pruple is already used on the metals. I will give it a shot and see what happens. Thanks for the input. I ave also finished ramos but the cobbles will need a redo as well. Then I have 3 bases of spiers and a swarm plus a Gunsmith. After that perhaps new crew. Thinking McMourning as I have all the pieces to make it work now. So much to paint sometimes it is hard to pick one and stick. Gub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
