jen_tr Posted May 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 So, I've had a bit of a break from malifaux recently, and have been working on my first guild ball team instead. We backed the guild ball kickstarter a little while ago, and I'm very pleased with how the models have turned out! Here they are...

lusciousmccabe Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 Nice flame effect on Mercury, I've been looking around for one that I like for ages and I think that's it. Adding in the grey smoke to the edges was a great idea, it's the best way of doing flame over a large area I've seen. The flasks and vials are also really nicely done. How did you find painting these guys? Their details look a bit chunkier than the plastic Malifaux models, but not quite so much as the old metal ones.

jen_tr Posted May 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 Yeah, with the flame on Mercury, I didn't want a whole great big pile of fire - I thought it would be far too much, given the softer colours on the models altogether. Smoke seemed a good way of getting round that! I actually really enjoyed painting them. The details are definitely chunkier than the new Malifaux plastics, as you say, but in some ways I think that is a good thing. The deeper creases (e.g. where a boot meets the trouser above) make it a lot easier to bring out the definition between areas of the model, which is always more difficult on Malifaux models, since they are so smooth. And I think they've still got plenty of fine details, which stops them from heading towards being too cartoony. So, altogether, I think they've struck a very nice balance, and were definitely good to paint... so much so, that I've now ordered a second team 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinfoil Posted May 8, 2015 Report Share Posted May 8, 2015 Beautiful work. You really convey that semi-Western, demi-Victorian, hemi-steampunk vibe. Something about these figures, your color choices, and the craft of the painting make the crew feel like part of a story tale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jen_tr Posted May 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 14, 2015 And back to Malifaux, a few additions to my Guild crew: Riflemen Pathfinder and traps Perdita I'm thinking that maybe Perdita's sash should have been red, to make her stand out a bit more... 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jen_tr Posted May 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 15, 2015 Thanks! Calculus is part of the Alchemists' team for Guild Ball, made by Steamforged Games. You can currently get her as part of the Alchemist starter box: http://elementgames.co.uk/wargames-and-miniatures/cult-steampunk-other-miniatures-games/guild-ball/alchemists-guild/alchemist-starter-set-midas-calculus-mercury You could also try the Guild Ball website: http://guildball.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jen_tr Posted June 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 For a few months now, I've been agonising over how to paint my Kirai crew, and have now finally managed to come up with a colour scheme I'm happy with. It didn't turn out quite as I was aiming for, but I think it works nonetheless. Constructive comments are welcome, especially before I paint the rest of the crew!

Inquisitor Wall Posted June 7, 2015 Report Share Posted June 7, 2015 I really like the scene for the onryo. The two blues look subtly different enough to not all look the same, but still tie the model together. Nice and clean. I think the whole crew would look great in that scheme.

Otylia Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Love the lady J mods and the Midas crew. Your glass effects on the beakers, tubes, and googles is really amazing - and the pallete of color you use on each crew is excellent.
