Malifaux Painting (part deaux)

Here's the followup to my last post, 7 more malifaux figs for Colette and the girls to fight with...or against.

First up 3 Zombie Swordsmen:


Next we have grave digger:


And a Vulture.  My 9-year old son told me with a maniacal gleam in his eye, "Put some blood on the beak!"  ha ha 


Finally, I don't know what role the top hat guy plays, or what the alien robot posing as a debutante is (besides disturbing, and fragile).

All in all these figs have been great to paint.  They are way better scaled than 40K models but that also creates its own challenges.  They are neat models.

Malifaux Painting

Okay so I was referred by my buddy Vivian to a fellow gamer here in Raleigh that was looking to have some Malifaux minis painted.  It's been a while since I've done any significant painting but I eagerly took up the brush.

The first of the assignments, with the most pressing deadline was Collette and her two "henchwomen".  I was given free reign on colors etc. but immediately got a Showgirl vibe off them so "bright" was all I could think of.

Here are some shots.

 You can get a good view of the hardwood flooring on the bases.  I originally attempted to make these out of balsa wood but instead decided greenstuff sculpted to look like hardwoods was better.

 Malifaux figs are tiny, and delicate.  they are probably more realistically proportioned than 40K-type proportions, but that doesn't make them easier to paint.  hell or at my age, even to see the details.  :)

So I'm working on a couple of others (7) I will try and post soon, but these are all ready to go.  Oh, and they look overly glossy in the pics, I did gloss varnish them as they are going to be played with, and better safe than sorry, I have put a coat of matte on top and more layers can be added to taste, but the paint job should last.

Let me know what you think...I so rarely get comments.  ha ha
