Malifaux: Depleted


The Depleted are the last pre-ToMB models I’ve completed.  They’ve got some synergies with Lynch and Brilliance, but Hard to Kill, Hard to Wound, and positive flips to disengaging strikes ought to make them a nice cheap tarpit in any crew.

I mounted this model too far forward on the base, but otherwise I’m pretty happy.  The shirt is just a shade lighter of the dress, which I think works, even if it’s not super exciting.

The blend from flesh into Brilliance-soaked tentacle here isn’t very smooth, but I did get the floating leg working.  Hopefully it stays on the base.

This guy is definitely having a bad day.  He’s a little plain, but it gets the job done.

Malifaux: Doppelganger


Continuing to round out my Neverborn, the Doppelganger sneaks her way into my collection.

I originally painted the towel thing flesh tones, as in Wyrd’s art.  It didn’t stand out enough, so brought it to a different, redder, flesh tone.  It still looked weird, so I ended up just re-doing it in white.

I’m not entirely fond of how the vertebrae worked out, but I like the rest of the musculature.

I tried something new when pinning this model.  It’s been very difficult to drill into the small feet of many Malifaux models.  This time, I took an actual pin (for sewing) and heated it in a cancel for about ten seconds.  Once it was nice and hot, I pushed it into the foot.  When cool, I cut off the head of the needle.

It worked fairly well, although you can see it a bit on the skinless foot.

Malifaux: Primordial Magic


The weather hasn’t been conducive to dullcoting.  The humidity finally dropped so I could finish off some models.

I tried to use some green weathering power to give a bit of OSL from the magic spewing from Primordial Magic’s mouth, but I didn’t end up liking it too much.  The dullcote toned it down a bunch, so it’s very subtle.

It was surprisingly difficult to base this model.  It’s hard to tell what part is going to be flat, so it’s hard to tell at what angle to put the pin.  In the end I only used one very short pin, and hope that the large contact area will help me out.

Malifaux: Lilith


Lilith is the last of the Monster of Monsters box set (see Barbaros, Cherub, and Terror Tots from earlier), and my second Malifaux master.

The cloak is the same Blue Liner of Barbaros’ and the Cherub’s hair.  I wanted it approximately black, but with a blue tint to keep with my Neverborn colors. I used a lot more red on this model than most of my Neverborn, largely to help it to start out from the purples of other nephilim.

I’m considering picking up the Nephilim box set to try a grow crew, but I’ve got other stuff to paint first.

I’m pretty meh on how this model turned out.  It gets the job done, but isn’t particularly exciting.
