I noticed with the strong highlights on the nurses it makes their clothing look like waxy latex nurse outfits . I also decided I like the green gloves and footwear now you have a group shot. It ties the group togther. Nice work mate.

P.S. just ordered my self 'Lady Justice'....she'll make a fine addition to my Escher.....*evil Mutley snigger*

@Bash the Bosh - She would look good in a Necromunda gang wouldn't she.... *Schemes to self* but thanks, when I buy my own McMourning I'm going to use a red PVC like paint job on them, make the flesh construct into a pyramid head (Maybe) McMourning in the colours of the Joker and what the feth I'm doing with Sebastian is a mystery to me

But anyway, I've finished the final highlights and touches on the other swirly magicky Death Marshall and I have, also bought myself another box set.... to be started after the Ortegas but knowing me, probably before and finished before I get round to the family of gunslingers.....

Well, I've finally got round to finishing off the Death Marshalls, only Lady Justice left to paint from that box set, now.... She's probably going to get done in the next day or two, anyhow, in the meantime, enjoy!

i think they are amazing! where can i get some or are they custom to you -.- please share details
and the death marshall after highlights looks ace

xvoid

@ChaosxVoid - They aren't a custom model I've made, you can find them in most online miniature shops, just look for Wyrd Games or Malifaux ^^

Well, sorry for the lack of updates guys, have had rather a lot of work to do, exams and all coming up ^^ But anyhow, I've managed to get started on Lady Justice and have also drawn up some designs for a 'Steam Machine' which I'm making for my art GCSE but is also going to count as my Guild Peace keeper.

Well, enough of me, here they are-





I think I'm going to give the hair a bit of a red wash and another brown so it looks more brunette, the blond is only really there as an extreme highlight.



Well, I'm going to make this out of a ping-pong ball, some tubing, green stuff, plasticard and some small metal ball bearings, look out for him later on in the blog!

Thanks for reading ^^








Automatically Appended Next Post:
Well, I promised myself I'd get my crew finished by Friday and I've finally finished Lady Justice!

So here she is and some other pictures of the finished crew, I think the next crew I'll work on is going to either be the Ortegas or Seamus' crew....












Once again, please (I'm sorry for constantly repeating this if you read this then can you please leave a comment ^^

The crew looks good together in the group pic and the bases are great.

Looking good! It's just the flesh on lady justice that seems a bit off; can't quite put my finger on it, maybe it's the lighting?

@Metsuri - Thanks ^^ It's good to know the bases paid off.

@CommissarKhaine - Hmmm.... It might have been, the lighting was from above so the skin was probably shaded quite badly by the mass of hair... I'll take some more pictures with the lighting in a different place ^^

This guy kind of looks like Don vito

These are looking great man. The bases are phenomenal, as well as the light effects, they will make a great group.

@brush_slip - He does doesn't he! Thanks though man, It's great to hear some more encouraging words ^^

Well, I've not done any work on the Ortegas yet but I've started on a piece of terrain for Malifaux. It's going to be an entrance to a mine and here's the starting point, a plastic skull from Halloween and some rocks ^^-

Thank you i will look for them now! you have attracted me to these models good work haha ^^

Looking good! will there be a railroad with a small mining cart?

@ChaosxVoid - It's good to know I've encouraged someone else to start Malfiaux ^^

@CommissarKhaine - Hmmm.... that's actually not a bad idea, I'm considering making it look like the mine has caved in and put tracks running into the mine and then in the rocks that block the entrance, put the odd limb and maybe a mining cart partially buried.... but thanks man, awesome idea! *Steals idea*

Well, now to the bloggy side of things, I've once again not done any painting But, I have started work on my custom Peace Keeper, I've put the legs on (most of them anyway) and started to sculpt the front furnace plate on, just a lot of rivets, chimneys and gubbins to add now!









Enjoy ^^

Peace keeper looks like he's off to a good start. Now build the mine!

I keep seeing tons of people painting these models and I almost want to do one or two of them.

@CommissarKhaine - Thank man, hopefully this post should be at least a little update on your underground obsession

@Empchild - I'd say go for it, the individual models aren't that expensive and they do look fantastic, even just for painting and showing off they are awesome and you never know, they might get you into playing the game too ^^

Anyhow, here is a small update on the mine, I've added some rocks to make a sort of ramp up to the entrance and filled in the jaw part, I've also made some tracks which I've just laid on top so you can see what they look like,

Like the tracks, they're looking pretty realistic; I would consider a sturdier base for what's gonna be a superb piece of terrain though, it would be shame to have a nice mine entrance with white little blobs flaking off...

Seconded. I'd suggest sticking the styrofoam to a wood base then bevel all the edges to give a nice slope. Covered in sand, glue, and paint the styrofoam should be sturdy enough on a wood base.

@CommissarKhaine - Thanks dude ^^ I think that a wooden base is a good if not brilliant idea, I shall be doing this accordingly

@Ozymandais - Will do, thanks for the feedback man

Well, I'm rather sorry for the lack of updates, combination of not being near a computer/models O_O and commitments... damn them.

But anyhow, I've started on the Ortegas and have also found some wood to mount the mine onto which I'll get some pics of when I do some more major work on it. I've also started on the harpoon gun on the peacekeeper.

Enjoy ^^

Well, just a wee update, I've finished Santiago and haven't done much else as I've been getting ready for a Malifaux tourney on Sunday and revising for exams that I did on Tuesday and Wednesday O_O

Anyhow, here's Santiago and the Ortega modes I have left to paint, I'll post up my crew list (35 soulstones) later when I've finalised the list ^^

Nice, love the patches on his coat! The stark highlights seem to fit the model very well, too. Good work and good luck in the tourney!

I like how you make the names on the bases so acidy/neon green.

Can't wait to see the steam machine finished either.

Great minis!

That mine is freaking SWEET!!!

@ CommissarKhaine - Thanks ^^ I prefer using stark and more... electric highlights (In real life they do look a wee bit like electricity), they give more contrast to the darker sections IMO

@ Arlexius - Cheers, it's pretty easy to do, it's just painted in a really light citadel green

@ Empchild - It's good to see someone else liking the mine, after the tourney I'm going to have to get some work done on it

Well, before I go off to the tourney, I've painted the last member of my crew that I'm using, Francisco. It's basically, Lady Justice, Judge, The Death Marshalls and Francisco.

Enjoy and please, if you read, do comment ^^-

Like him, but I would've done a bit more with the hat, it's looking a bit plain right now. Maybe make the detailing look like filigree? Love the green-eclectric highlights, they really suit the models!

These look incredible. Cracking job on them all so far. Will hopefully be getting some models soon myslef and if I can get them to look half as good as these then damn.

What other factions are you thinking of doing for yourself?

@ CommissarKhaine - Hmmm.... indeed, I think I'll work a bit on the hat, probably just paint the swirly patterns a white colour, maybe do some other stuff if I can make something look good, might paint the inside a different colour also.

@ Motogrator - Yea go for it! As I've said before, great models, even just to paint, thanks for the support ^^ and if you post them up, give me a shout and I'll give them a look

For other factions, I'm considering them all really, I really like the Resurrectionists (I have a Seamus box waiting in the wings), the Pandora crew is really awesome and the Leviticus or Viktoria crews look really good as well, also the Archanist crews are really, really cool as well. But at the moment, I'm focusing on getting my Guild stuff finished, as they are my faction in the campaign/storyline in our FLGS ^^


Well, in the time of getting back from the tourney and playing some very painful Rugby, I have managed to do some work on the mine, I've added it to a MDF base, stuck the tracks on, put the start of the gates in place (The metal pipes) and have also put some paint pots inside to build the cave in from. -





Also, here are some pictures of the models at the tourney and the painting competition, it had a turn out of about 6 which was pretty decent. I won the painting competition and the tourney as well And as a prize, got a new model, well a replacement for a model I'd lost an arm to (The last Ortega) Anyhow, here are the pics -

Hope you enjoyed and please, if you read a look at this, leave a comment, even a small one

Well guys, apologies for lack of updates, It's been exams... damn them but I have done some work in the meantime, here it is and please, if you read, comment I've also made a new sig and C&C are greatly appreciated, it's the first thing like this I've ever done and I'd like to know what you guys think

This is the very WIP Papa Loco for my Ortegas, I used them in nearly all my games at the tournament, thus I think they deserve a bit of paint on them ^^



This is the mine, I've added some sand to it and am going to start working on the gates soon....




Finally, because I've not started them properly and I wont have enough updates to turn it into a proper blog yet, here is my Steel Legion WIP model.

I plan to make a squad of them (10) using cadians as a base, green stuffing over them so they are no longer the IP of GW and then casting and using them for a full blown army ^^ This, in particular I need comments on, is it good? Is it horrible? Are there bits that need to be improved? Tanks

Congrats on your tourney results, and your models look great as usual!

I really like where the mine is going, it will make a splendid terrain piece when finished.

As for the Steel legion: it's definitely better then what I could pull off . His mask seems a tad off to the left, but that may be the pic. Love the model, I'm curious to see those with some paint on.

Good luck with the exams!
