Doc T Posted January 4, 2014 Report Share Posted January 4, 2014 Just started Malifaux before Xmas. I actually haven't played a game yet but I have painted up a boxed set: Rasputina and the Wendigo were done with washes over white undercoat then mid tone dip followed by a little highlighting. The ice golem was a wash of GW Lothern Blue over white followed by gradual highlighting up to white. Bases were just little bits of slate from a garden centre plus sand sunk into a polyfilla/PVA mix. Snow was GW snow effect (made a paste of the snow in PVA then sprinkled more snow on top). Now to play ... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Ned Posted January 5, 2014 Report Share Posted January 5, 2014 Those ashea gave Raspy and the Wendigo a clean, crisp look which contrasts really nicely with the golem and gamins. Well done, I really like this crew. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vonevilstein Posted January 9, 2014 Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 These are really impressive. Can I ask, what is a "mid tone dip"? I'm trying out ink washes over white undercoat at the moment on the Rail Crew (they're nearly done so I'll post them up soon), I'm happy with the results but they don't look as good as these. I'm thinking "mid tone dip" is the difference.....oh and painting ability... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc T Posted January 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2014 "Mid tone dip" is the Army Painter Strong Shade dip (although I never dip miniatures, the shade is liberally painted on with a thick brush): http://www.firestormgames.co.uk/army-painter The dip is much thicker than ink washes and flows into details better. It dries gloss so needs a coat of matt varnish. Some people hate the stuff, but I've found it gives fantastic results on all sorts of figures (from Warmachine to Napoleonics).

Arkion Posted January 10, 2014 Report Share Posted January 10, 2014 Glad to finally see the new plastics painted up. Nice work on the Wendigo and the Ice Golem, especially. Thanks for taking the time to share. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
