First, there was Pokeminis in 2009, in which I cleared out tons of unpainted stuff.

Then there was Pokeminis 2010, in which I fizzled out.

Now that Dakka Dakka has a new showcase forum, I've decided to skip the blog and
just post pics when I'm done! (Yeah, getting kinda lazy).

So let's kick off the year with some Cygnaran Storm Lances!

**MeanGreenStompa**

Are those wash on white primer, if so they have worked out remarkably well!

**malfred**

No, but I think I can see why you'd think they were all washes on white.

The blues are Reaper Triads: Templar highlighted up then washed down then
highlighted up again. Blue ink is too strong, so I made a wash out of the Triad and
use that instead for my Cygnar...and Trolls, too.

The yellow is filthy brown highlighted up and then yellow inked.

The white is Wolf Grey with Breonne blue wash and highlighted up
to Ghost Grey.

Painted models 6 and 7: Katherine Laddermore.

I did NOT like putting a bunch of large bases into my paint queue. Next time, cavalry gets
done all on its own. It's like painting 6 jacks!

**Gr3y**

Interesting color scheme. Did you do all your Cygnar mans up in that lighter blue or is it only the calvary?

If you go through my gallery you'll f ind that most of it is in that lighter blue.

I have older models that use Magic Blue or whatever that shade is, but I
much prefer the Reaper Templar blue.

Number 8!

Super Dungeon Explore's Paladin

Wish I had did more detail work on the eyes, but no regrets!

**malfred**

Number 9

Believe it or not, I now have two of these bad boys completed. Based on this and
my earlier posts, can you guess what I was building up for? And to think I took
Cygnar off the gaming rotation!

**Metsuri**

So eStryker theme force fully painted on the table? We want group shots as evidence of that

.

Nice work on the boys (and girl) in blue.

Thanks, metsuri. I still haven't sussed out my exact list. Once that's done
I'll have an army profile up and ready.

Oh crap, I forgot to assemble/paint storm gunners. :(

Anyway.

Model 10 is called Rayne from the neutral faction in Anima Tactics. Yes,
I'm a bad person for painting this.

**malfred**

Miniature 11!

The Avatars of War stuff is fantastic. I want to paint each thing in the
line. So long as a FLGS stocks it, I think I'll be painting more in the future.

**malfred**

12 and 13

These are unit attachments for Dawnguard Sentinels.

**DA's Forever**

WOW great stuff here, I especially like those round bases on the first few. Whats the measurements on those?

**malfred**

Warmachine and Hordes use a lipped base for all their miniatures.

Small = 30mm
Medium = 40mm
Large = 50mm

Cavalry models and heavy warjacks/warbeasts tend to go on Large bases.

**malfred**

14/15.

It took me a while to figure out which standard bearer was which. But a look at
the shoulder pads set them apart.

**Perkustin**

Whats a 'Pokemini'? Or what is it you mean by 'Pokemini master'?

**malfred**

It's just the title of my blog. Gotta paint em' all!

Miniature 16 for 2011 is the Mage Hunter Assassin.

**Dais**

Congrats on getting so much painted recently.
We should hang out more, we both play warmachine, anima tactics (and hopefully soon) SDE. I even play the same armies you have been painting models for, Cygnar, Retribution, and Wissenschaft.

I only really make time for Warmachine. Are you in Illinois?

**Dais**

Afraid not. I'm in NC. still, its nice to see someone out there with good taste that can actually paint things FAST. I'm trudging along at a snail's pace.

**malfred**

Miniature 17

Earthborn Dire Troll

Dais: Do you go to any of the national events?

**malfred**

11 Burrower models (10 Burrowers + 1 Burrow token) = Models 18-28

**malfred**

Miniature 29 of the year and Completed Project 2011 (yeah, how did that happen?) is
Madrak, World Ender of the Trollbloods.

**Krork**

I like the color scheme. Why are they called 'Pokeminis'?

**malfred**

Because I gotta paint em' all?

30 and 31

Stone Scribes! I don't know why, but my Trollbloods have only been running
a minimal sized Krielstone unit. Must have been because of the model shortage.

**malfred**

Miniature 32

The Trollkin Runebearer supports troll warlocks.

**malfred**

33 and 34

Look out as my Fennblades give No Quarter!

**malfred**

35

Not sure which warlocks I'm going to use the Skinner with yet. Most definitely would only
use them for anti-Hordes armies (so part of a known opponent/two list format rather
than for something like masters or hardcore

**Moltar**

Bustin' them out! Keep it up, Malfred
