Well this week I have mostly been painting my kitchen and looking at my much delayed but very exciting Kickstarter goodies - more on those in some future posts hopefully. A heads up that my
genestealer giveaway ends tomorrow - I am finding I literally can't give them away currently.
Rather than let the weekend pass without a post, here's some Malifaux figures I've finished this year and not posted for one reason or another.
First up is a warden I painted for Ian at my local gaming club. He was kind enough to let me have his Shang figure so I offered to fix the warden up and paint it (it was missing a claw). I've used my
snow base technique here, without the snow that is.
Next its a couple of Waldgeists. These beasties featured in my
brawl blog the other week for the first time and I thought I'd show them in a bit more detail. I've used the
Fenris games woodland bases here, extras from my gatorman squad. These are a very recent purchase - with the immenent release of Malifaux version 2.0 I discovered they are useful to a Zoraida crew in the new version and I like the current models. If the new plastic versions are good too, well they fit into at least 3 crews I have (Zoraida, Lillith and Marcus) so it wont hurt to have some variety!
This ugly critter is an Insidious Madness. Its usable by both my Zoraida and Kirai crew, but I haven't actually put it on the table yet. Clearly inspired by Lovecraftian themes, I added an interesting bit of freehand to the base :)
These dapper looking ne'er-do-wells are my Wastrels from my long time in progress Lucas McCabe crew. Again using my snow basing technique (plus a few cacti), all of my Guild models will be based on slate (cork) to tie them together visually. These are the only other plastic Wyrd figures I have completed so far aside from
Yin. I did manage to undercoat these without losing any detail but I have to say they are a challenge to paint with the sculpted details being so fine. I hope I get better at completing them, although I hear the later releases are improving in terms of both the detail and not using such tiny components separately (the bowler hat for example).
