Well, I've just started playing Malifaux, I've had my death Marshalls for a while but I thought I'd post up my progress with my Guild Crew and some other models, enjoy!

The two models I've finished, Judge and a Death Marshall (Malyce)-


The models I have left to paint (Currently) Lady Justice and two Death Marshalls-


An outcast model (Rusty Alyce) I painted a while back, she'll be part of my archanist crew when I can get enough saved to buy them... I have Ramos as well so he'll be on the blog soon too ^^-


Thanks for looking, if you have could you please comment and criticism is encouraged as I want to make these guys look as good as I can get them....

Great Unclean One

nice so far

Finished another Death Marshall, this ones called Hayte, the lettering needs a bit more work but I'm getting some new base inserts soon so the bases are going to get a bit of an overhaul soon. I've also ordered the Ortegas boxset and am going to try and sculpt myself a Peacebringer as the Malifaux one is a tad expensive and I don't like the model much...

Anyway, here's the Death Marshall -

Nice and clean painting. Your death marshals are a bit on the dark side and detail is lost that way. I would try to add some contrast to the figs by adding bit of lighter tones to the torsos so that they would be more interesting to the eye.

The green glow from the coffin is a nice touch.

Well, I've seen the comments (Thanks guys ^^) and I've taken some advice, I've added some highlighting to the Death Marshall, so, here's the new paint scheme (I've also added a thin purple wash to the skin to make it look 'ghostly' as described in the Malifaux rule book.-








I also received my Ortegas yesterday and they'll be on the blog soon, I picked up an executioner too.... I may try doing some freehand tattoos on his belly or maybe a branded ram skull....






Well, enjoy and please, if your reading can you comment, it's great to hear what you guys think ^^

They're well painted. using them for any particular game e.g. 40k, Necromunda, etc. Not sure if I'm going to be a fan of the Ortegas miniature. But keep it up, your doing great.

They're for the skirmish game Malifaux, it says in the first sentence of the opening post.

Going back on-topic, I love the green and the names painted onto the bases as well. I look forward to more!

Thanks for your comments guys, it's great to see an interest

Well, sorry for the long wait, I've been waiting for bases, they finally came and they are amazing , they look awesome and I've painted up enough for all of the Guild models I have so far, here are a few pictures of the bases without models on and Hayte and Judge on their new bases. --








Thanks for reading ^^

Looks great! Where did you get the bases?

the death marshalls look awesome. In fact, they remind me of The Saint of Killers from Preacher. (Which is an awesome comic by the way.)

The Saint is essentially the Angel of Death, except he's an old cowboy. Oh, and he will survive anything. Even a NUKE.

@Ozymandais - I got the bases from Iron Halo -- https://ironhalo.net/store//catalog/index.php?cPath=21_32 , the base inserts are really awesome and are pretty cheap also, unfortunately the 20% off discount ended today....

@TempusCorvus - Yea, they do look a bit like The Saint of Killers don't they? (I've read a few of my dad's old Preacher comics), I originally bought the Death Marshalls to use for a GURP campaign (I based my character on the Gunslinger Roland from Stephen Kings' Dark Tower series)

Whats next on the docket GUO?

@DictatorGames -

Well, on the agenda I've got a whole Perdita crew to put together and paint, I've also got a McMourning crew that I'm painting for a friend so I'll have to get that and some other painting done before I start on my wonderful family of gunslingers. After this, I'm going to make myself a (shamelessly stolen from your idea)Guild display board for all my current (and future) Guild models

Anyhow, I've started work on the flesh construct, I'm near finishing but I really need some help for improvement on this guy, I can't seem to place my finger on what needs to be done (I'm doing some highlighting soon)--





(This is a brand I put on his leg to indicate his.... creator (McMourning) and what 'number' he is)



Thanks, and once again, please comment if you read, much appreciated ^^

@Deminyn - Thank you sire ^^

Well, I've finished (I think) the flesh contruct and have also finished painting Sebastian, the morgue assistant, anyhow, here they are, enjoy ^_^

Those are pretty crazy miniatures. I like the skins tones on the flesh golem thingy, looks like proper cold clammy dead flesh.

The new Highlights on the Flesh Construct really work. He "pop"s now. Also Sebastian is great! THE blood splatter gives that random spray in the direction of the spinning blade. Perdita is great, I can't wait to get a chance to crank out more Malifaux models the moment my commissions stop.

Well, I lied a bit about Sebastian, I've now finished him (I've highlighted the face and smock), I've also started and nearly finished McMourning, now, I know of a few little things with him I need to fix but I'm stuck on something because he just doesn't seem right to me.... but anyhow, please comment and enjoy!

How do you achieve the blood splatter? It's quite good

~DG

Some pretty cool stuff, are you thinking of painting any of the neverborn?

Really creepy and characterful work! These models are new to me, so extra nice of you to share the process.

Looking forward to more.

@Dictator Games - I make the blood splatters just by painting the model, and then when you've finished, water down some GW's Red Gore, load a Large Drybrush with it and use your thumb to bend the bristles back and then flick it at the model, it works really well ^^

@LordBoJangles - Thanks ^^, I'm tempted to paint up some Neverborn stuff.... however I really don't like the old hag model so I'd do the Pandora or Lilith's brood.... I really like the baby models =D

@Migsula, they are pretty creepy, that's mainly why I started, I was using the Death Marshalls as a character for an RPG but thanks for the comment ^^

Well, I've done some work on McMourning and have finally got him to a stage which I think is or is at least very close to being finished, I've washed a lot of the model with black and then highlighted again, and have also started the blue shirt again from scratch so it's a lighter colour now, enjoy and please if you read can you comment ^^

This is the first time I've ever seen 'Malifaux'. The models (together with your painting) look horrifyingly awesome. You Sir are now responsible to answer to my wife when she asks why I have brought ANOTHER set of minis into the house....

I'm trying to find a reason not to get into Malifaux as well. The Lady Justice model screams PAINT ME! The only thing holding me back is my unpainted Warmachine. XD

Nice work on McMourning, and on the assistant with the circular saw.

I like the way your technique is developing. The Malifaux miniatures seem (to me, at least) to require fairly subtle texturing, layering, washing and so on, in order to fully bring out the mood these models evoke. I think you're really starting to hit the note here, particularly with the Resurrectionist figures.

This game has some exceptionally fine minis. I've picked up Pandora's crew and a few other Neverborn figs, myself -- but I'm frankly a little intimidated to start painting them. The figures are so good. And the paint jobs done by Malifaux's professionals are wonderfully evocative and subtle. But I've seen a lot of mediocre paint jobs render these fine figures flat and pedestrian.

So I'm paying a pretty high compliment when I say, you're starting to do these figures justice.

@Bash the Bosh - Thanks man ^^ Just tell her it's all my fault, you never know, it might work

@Lorgar's_Blessed - I've got the same problem.... I reeeally need to paint up the last of my Death Marshall box set, particularly the Lady Justice.....

@tinfoil - Thank you sir ^^ it's great to know my painting is coming along in some way or another. Painting the Malifaux models has been quite new for me, I'm used to painting guardsman, chaos space marines and tanks , so painting something so thin has been relatively new for me. I do have to agree with the need of more work on them, they do need a lot more work on them to make them look really good, which is hopefully, what I can work up to ^^

Well, I've started and am close to finishing (I need to stop saying that dammit) the Nurse with the tray as I've aptly named her, maybe tray lady or something similar. I may leave her as she is but I'm very tempted to leave the pink and just make the green highlights a little more..... blended as the edging highlights didn't seem to work as well as I'd hoped.

Anyhow, here we go ^^ -

Creepy 'this won't make you feel any better' nurse = WIN

Green latex(or latex free,you never know these days) not quite my thing. But thats my problem not yours.

She looks mega.

I also tried the whole 'Darling....if..I..you know...brought...some more minisbythewayyoumothercalledthisafternoonshallIputthekettleon?'

It didn't work. I have to wait till she's gone to sleep....hehehehe

These are absolutely brilliant. I have to say I really do love the Malifaux models and your doing a far better job of giving them justice than I did!

@Bash the Bosh - Sounds like a fine plan *Makes sneaking mime impression* But indeed, they actually have a power called 'Massive Dose' which makes one of your models insane as hell for a turn but kills it at the end O_O

@Llamahead - Thanks muchly ^^ I think also, I am falling in love with these models

But anyhow, I've finished the last nurse, and in turn the McMourning crew, I'm posting up some pics now and giving them to my friend tonight, I'm considering getting.... another boxset tonight, I may get one or might get the Ortegas painted first, we'll just have to wait and see












Enjoy ^^
