Malifaux Pools Part 6

Hello All ,

Here we are with the final installment of this series. I have finally finished these (I hope unique) creations and presented them to the board for approval. guess what? It was a hit! Anyway 3 of the 5 have been handed over to the team for storage and the remaining two are with me for touch ups.

The final colors added were:

Secret Weapon: Cool Grey
Secret Weapon: Sapphire
Secret Weapon: Fallout

The Cool Grey was used as an attempt shade the flex paste (Failed) The sapphire and fallout were used to tint the clear resin on three of the five.



Fallout



Sapphire

 

For the snow I used a method taught to me by Mr. Justin from Secret Weapon Miniatures. Take standard scenery snow and mix it with Realistic Water this makes snow that looks properly wet even when dry. check it out-

 

 

Little details

  

 



 

 

I have been asked to put out a step by step guide on how these were made. I think I have enough pictures to make that happen so check back soon.

 

Till then

Journal 38 a few Updates

Hi,

Sorry about the delay in posts. Life and Nova have been taking a lot of my time recently. To make it up to you here are some pictures of stuff I am working on.

First up Malifaux

I finally decided to finish the Malifaux crew I started back in 2010 "Spirits of Vengeance" Though I have not read the latest version of the rules nor did I ever really understand the 1st ed rules I do like the models. So her they are (This picture is not the best but you get the idea)

I am not even sure how many "points" this is worth...

Next 40K

40K has been the sigh in my life recently. All of the new codex books and digital editions have really turned me off. I remember when folks complained that GW was not fast in getting new stuff out but this is like they took the governor off the engine and pushed it wide open. TMI has a new meaning when GW is involved. I really want to like it but... 

Anyway its hard to find energy to work on 40K stuff lately but I did mamage to work on some Nids between Malafaux and Warmachine projects. 

Not New but I don't remember if I have pictures

 WarMachine/Hordes

Here is where I am currently focusing my energy these days. I am no great player but I do enjoy the fluff of the setting. 

Avatar Of Menoth (Without shoulder drapes)

Not done but the red effect is with my airbrush

Duck Board bases I made with sand and coffee stir sticks

Lastly an update of the Pirate army

I have finally finished the crew of the "Bloody vengeance" (Fixated on Vengeance much???)  I really need to keep up with this army as it will be a fun one to use.

30 man crew

Well that's it for now. I hope you enjoyed all the new stuff.

Later

Under the weather

Hello all,

I have been sick since Saturday morning. I got up with a slight twinge in my throat and I knew this three day weekend would suck. I was like a psychic because the next 4 days were pretty rough.

The weekend started out so good too. I took the wife out to dinner and a movie. Dinner at Fridays and "Life as we Know it" for the film. Both were enjoyable. obviously the quiet before the storm.

Saturday was the worst (A sore throat makes me miserable company. Just ask my wife.) I did not feel particularly bad other than my throat but it was enough. The wife took me out to try to make make feel better. we stopped by Huzzah games. (my first time there) I really liked the store and for a few minutes I forgot about my suffering. She bought me a GF9 Tac template and bought herself the Showgirls crew for Malifaux. I saw Bill from the "gamers lounge" and said hello but did not want to get too close since I figured I was coming down with something and did not want to "share the love." They were playing Malifaux and I was a little down because I could not stay to watch and learn. I plan to return soon. (The Wife is reading the Malifaux book and thinks the Tuesday night games might be a good idea.)

The rest of the day just got worse. By Sunday afternoon the sore throat was gone and I thought I was past the worst of it...
I was wrong. The stuffy nose and fever started Sunday night and continued through Monday into Tuesday. I tried to sleep on Monday night only to find that I was unable to do so. Whats even worse I kept waking the Wife up with my "belly Aching." I ended up spending the entire night watching "Life after people." At 2 AM I sent my job the email for not coming in on Tuesday. I spent Tuesday recouping and catching up on sleep.

Wednesday was my first day back. I am pleased that I got many "welcome backs" and "glad your back" My boss told me I was not allowed to take any more days off ever... I guess I was missed. :)

______________________________________________________________

on the + side I got lots of painting done. So here is a quick breakdown.

NECROMUNDA

I finished my set of defense lines and the last of my Orlock and Goliath gangers.




MALIFAUX

My "Spirits of Vengeance" crew is really coming along. I finished the Onryo I think they look Smashing.



LORD OF THE RINGS (S.B.G)

I painted up a unit of 8 Kazad Guard and a Dwarf Standard Bearer.


I also painted Buhrdur The Troll lord from the Angmar Army!



Anyway not bad for a few sick days!!!


Enjoy,

Malifaux, - Spirits of Vengeance

Hello all,

I have decided to start my Malifaux collection with the Spirits of Vengeance.

Here is the first model- Ikiryo



This to get the paint scheme for the crew... Blue and Green

What do you think?

A short Update.

Hello all,

This has been a poor week in gaming since my last post.
Number of games attempted= 1
Number of games played= 0

But no worries. I had a great time hanging around the GW store last Friday night. I met a few new people (always good), talked a lot of painting (one of my favorite subjects), And got to tell some of my favorite funny stories (usually involving "DA" moments from the past.)

Note: One interesting thing I did see was a kid wearing a pair of those shoe/roller skate hybrids. I used to see them all the time but the last few years they seemed to be on the decline. When you see kids skating around on these things have you ever wanted to just stick you foot out and give natural selection a hand? I commented about this at the shop and was surprised to find that the same thought was on most of our minds as the child scooted by for the 3rd time in 10 minutes. Interesting...

------------------------------------------

On the Friday before the NOVA open I picked up a copy of Malifaux from Victory comics in Falls Church. I have been reading it and think I have a handle on the rules. I don't have any of the miniatures nor a Fate deck yet. I Like the Guild and Outcasts so far but I think each faction is really cool.

I am hoping I can get my wife to play and rekindle her enjoyment of tabletop war-games. I want to avoid her becoming "Mundane" at any cost.

To anyone reading this who also plays Malifaux any advice would be appreciated.

Painting

• This weeks painting project- Land Raider.

• I am finally painting my Land raider Redeemer

• I finished the Dwarf "Goblin Hewer" and plan to run it as a grudge thrower.

• I assembled the rest of my Chaos Warriors/Knights last week and used them to bulk up my already established units.
  
• I now have 5 units of 20 warriors not counting "Chosen"

• I have 4 units of 10 Knights including 1 with lances.

Well that's enough for now. I hope to get a game in this Friday but if not I know the conversation will be worth the trip.
