Yeah, I'm used to working the birds with browns, probably because I tend to do a lot of
work in browns. Maybe my next furry creature I'll learn to do a black to gray blend better.

Here's a pic of the Phoenix. The highlights are rough, but I like where I put them this
time. When I worked on the Manticore I think I was just guessing at the highlights.

Not going for the fully magnetised warjacks with the plastics, Malfred?

Dysartes wrote:Not going for the fully magnetised warjacks with the plastics, Malfred?

Not at this time, no. I might want to try in the future, but while it saves me money/time in the long
term, magnetizing isn't a familiar skill yet and I'm doing what I can to keep the models moving
through the assembly line.

Also, magnetizing means I have to keep parts safe, and I'm less likely to lose them if they're firmly
attached to the model in question.

Attached:

Pictures of some Line of Sight blocking terrain I was thinking about building. One is a rock
formation, one is a ridgeline of sorts, and the last one is a fence. I haven't decided whether or
not I'll go through with these projects.

The bird looks great, it was the cloak i was saying would've looked better from black to grey.

Terrain looks good, i prefer the rock pile and fence over the second pic.

And here's that same model in the scale shots of terrain all done up.

The start of the Searforge Project.

Posting this here now so that I can figure out a color scheme.

Go Searforge!

I take it you're waiting for Mk 2 rules for Hordes before getting Brun & Lug and the drunken Ogrun guy?

I had considered getting them for the project, but yes, I'm waiting for MK2 rules.

Herne and Jonne are more of a Durgen Madhammer kind of thing.

I <3 the bear and the wandering Ogrun, so I probably should have gotten them anyway,
but this way I have something to start with.

edit: Maybe I should include them anyway, given my theme. I just don't normally
buy a whole and complete army by itself.

your big warjacks always look awesome

krusty wrote:your big warjacks always look awesome

I blame the models.

This next one is a young wizard model.

Im not liking the skin tone :/ looks like a crossover of leather and poop imo

One question though ..

How many game systems do you play compared to those you paint ?

You won't like the majority of the things that I paint then. I use either Reaper Dark Skin or
Reaper Olive on most of my models these days (the exceptions being Khador, Wood Elves
and High Elves and the odd Dwarf or two).

What I play regularly:

Warmachine/Hordes.

What I play sometimes:

Warhammer Fantasy

What someone is going to teach me to play:

Flames of War
Field of Glory

Here's pics of the Phoenix all done.

well, I would not say "cross of leather and poop", but I do think that the skin could use a highlight after the dip.

And I hate Reaper bases.

Dawnguard Invictors

Those look nice . Where do you get the bases for those(the ones with the smooth edge..) ?

gretar wrote:Those look nice . Where do you get the bases for those(the ones with the smooth edge..) ?

For Warmachine and Hordes, they simply come supplied with the models.

This is a Warmachine Solo, Anastasia diBRay. I'm not sure I like how it turned out, but I'm
also not quite sure if I'd have done it any differently. Maybe I would have blushed her cheeks
with some light pink...

Lovin the black highlights

Your volume of minis and quaility of painting are amazing.

Have you tried Malifaux?



take care

I have some minis primed, but I haven't really been inspired to paint them.

These are Dawnguard Sentinels with their baseball bat swords of doom!

Those sentinels are pretty cool. You're actually kinda' making me want to start this. Kinda'.

Malfred, do you dip, or wash? What's the difference?

Hehe. Fieldtest for Hordes drops today! (fyi)

randomfrog wrote:Malfred, do you dip, or wash? What's the difference?

I think the difference is that dipping uses that wood stain, and you shake off the excess
when you're done. I use a heavily glaze medium laden Vallejo Ink and brush it in. If I'm
feeling industrious, I will wash and highlight simultaneously, attempting to wet blend.

I'm usually not so industrious.

Anyway, this is Dawnlord Vyros.

Seaforge, cool. I don't like the green to be honest. But it is different and well painted.

Tacobake wrote:Seaforge, cool. I don't like the green to be honest. But it is different and well painted.

Searforge has been fun painting so far. Sorry you don't like the green. Guess you won't
be borrowing my models when you come down to Adepticon, right?

Some terrain progress, but I don't think I've done much with the pieces since these pics:

The trench sections are looking good, chief - how much of a slope is there on the other side of them?

Dysartes wrote:The trench sections are looking good, chief - how much of a slope is there on the other side of them?

The straights are 4" x 4", so the foam is 2" across. It's clearly an abstraction as when you put
the model behind the fortifications they appear from the waist up. The foam is 1" so I decided
not to slope it at all to make lining up the pieces easier to do.

Soviet artillery.

Soviet Artillery with base colors.

Always nice to see some FoW, malfred - at some point I might even dig my Brits out

Dysartes wrote:Always nice to see some FoW, malfred - at some point I might even dig my Brits out

You totally should. Legoburner makes it a point to notice FOW projects

Here's the Searforge project fully primed.

Trollbloods Primed as well. I cycled my time between the Searforge project and these Trolls.

Soviets!
