Old Malifaux from the summer.

Okay so I did these over the summer but only remembered I took pics on my cell phone today because I was posting more recent commission work.  So this gal was an extra and I didnt know which crew she belonged to the client didnt even know she was int he sealed box so I went with a neutral paint job.  Her stockings were done by painting the fleshtone as normal then using a wash to delineate where the stockings are.  They are not modeled on the figure.

So the actual crew was the witch-docter old hag and some critter henchmen she has.  She was quite disturbingly topless. ha ha  Those things she's holding and that are animated and standing in front of her look like rough voodoo dolls.  You lose so definition in the pics, they are sloppy and small but you can tell what they are a bit better in person.

 These guys look like swamp creatures with big fish faces. 

This is the big guy, Swamp Thing.  He had all kinds of stuff sticking out of his body which apparently arose from the quagmire swamp itself.  there were bottles, and lily pads, stones, skulls, so I tried to further emphasize this with gloss varnish in spots as well as the grass clumps used on the base were also stuck on his torso too.

Malifaux Deux 2

Okay so here's the leader of the crew, his name's Ramos. Again I played with Varnish with him making his trenchcoat slick wihile his suit is matte.  It rather sublte especailly with both being the same color. 

 

 Ramos likes to create wind-up robots apparently, as you see two here.  Each bird seems to have the special ability of being able to fart out a different substance. Pixy dust, on the left, and playing cards on the right.

 This robot is called the Mobile Toolkit.  His "hands" are covered in tools.  The delicate-ness of Malifaux figs is apparent any time there is a very skinny piece, keep in mind, that I had to glue it on.  and most times I had to drill it out, try and pin it, and failing that add greenstuff to increase the surface area for glue.

Okay now the smaller henchmen of this crew travel in packs apparently...packs of mechanical spiders!!!  it looks like each one is built around a revolver, but I'm not sure how they play.  each spider came in 3 pieces...really malifaux? 

Okay and the big beasty henchmen is called a Steamborg Executioner.  He's a huge head-chopping off Monster!  btw, he came in 9 pieces, and true to his name he almost killed me!  ha ha

Well I painted another crew before this bunch but I can't seem to find the pics of that group maybe they're on my phone.  I'll go check and post them soon too.

Malifaux more...

Okay so I have been commissioned once again by my buddy, Ben to paint up some Malifaux miniatures.  

these figs are amazingly detailed.  First up we have another "barmaid" to go with Collette and Crew.  This one armed with some sort of Steampunk Glaive.  I did the same hardwood flooring I had with the other ladies to hopefully tie her in with the group.

So these lovely Mannequins have apparently been modified with huge scissor-arms.  I made the mistake of gluing these arms to the minis and the minis to the base prior to painting them...these dresses are ridiculously detaield with lots of tiny bows...sadly they were beyond my ability to paint correctly, believe me I tried.  ha ha  Anyway they are bad-ass, and go with Collette again.

Next is my favorite, the crew this beast belongs to apparently is led by a small child who's dreams come to life.  Teddy is a lovable guy, he's a stuffed animal, so I added a plush rug for the playroom.  I also greenstuffed up some letter blocks.  The top block has P-A-I-N showing and if you look at all 3 blocks at the correct angle you can see E-V-I-L. ha ha  I kept calling this guy "Love Hurts"  I know what you are thinking, it looks like Love Kills, and then devours. :)

 

 Okay next up is an entire crew of robots, borgs, and the techno-wizard himself!
