Kaled Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 Morning, My wife is something of an occasional gamer - mostly board and card games, but is also willing to play the odd miniatures game and has also started painting a few models. She started with Blood Bowl and her first models were a couple of teams for that, and then she loved the cute models in Puppet Wars, so painted those too. When my Gencon order was delayed last year, Wyrd kindly threw in an Egg Hauler and their random act of kindness has paid off for them as my wife thought he was really cute and decided she wanted a gremlin crew. First up is the Egg Hauler that was the start of her crew... Next is Ophelia; Then we have Pere Ravage; And a couple of Young LaCroix; And finally for today, two Bayou Gremlins; My wife is still new to miniature painting, but is learning rapidly. She spent a lot of time building the bases for this crew, with a lot of scratch built and sculpted elements (including the log and barrel on the Bayou Gremlins). The only bit I helped with was pouring the water effect on their bases. Anyway - I'll open it up for comments and constructive criticisms. Hopefully you lot saying nice things about her work will encourage her to finish painting the crew and maybe she's also bring them to the club and learn to play the game. - Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peebs Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 They look great. Really nice painting - I especially love the skintones - and the bases are fantastic. Looking forwards to seeing more! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viruk Posted June 28, 2013 Report Share Posted June 28, 2013 For a person who is still new to the hobby to paint so small minis to such a high standard... That's quite an achievement. Your wife is very talented and should definitely continue with painting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DangerousBeans Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 Fine looking Gremlins she's got there, damn fine. You're a lucky chap, when I show my miniatures to my lady she just goes blank and starts walking into walls. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argentbadger Posted June 30, 2013 Report Share Posted June 30, 2013 Looking great. I also second the general opinion of 'congratulations on having a gaming partner'. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaled Posted July 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 Thanks from both my wife and I for all the great comments - she was really happy to see how much people liked her work. Yesterday she finished the next model for her crew - Francois LaCroix; Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaled Posted October 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted October 23, 2013 Over the last few weeks my wife has finished a few more members of her Malifaux crew - I think she just has two more to do... So here's Rami LaCroix, Raphael LaCroix and a Bayou Gremlin looking down the barrel of his gun to see why it won't fire! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4-lom Posted October 25, 2013 Report Share Posted October 25, 2013 Nice job!!! I'm in the process of painting up my gremlins now. I hope they come out as well as your wife's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kaled Posted November 9, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 My wife has finished the last two Gremlins for her crew - a Young LaCroix and another Bayou Gremlin. And with that her crew is complete. We still haven't found time for an actual game of Malifaux - but soon... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linus Mcmold Posted November 9, 2013 Report Share Posted November 9, 2013 Your wives Young Lacroix have exactly the same colored hats as mine... weird. Solid paintjobs and my favorite is the John Wayne young Lacroix. ---------- Post added at 07:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:04 PM ---------- ...also great painting on banjo and I really like all of the bases. Gremlins also inspired me to start making scratch built bases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
