Started work last week on my Malifaux crew for Adepticon. Here are some finished Stitched Togethers and a Voodoo Doll:

More info (and a preview of the "stage" display base) on my blog

**Scrazza**

Those stiched togethers look like the Boogey man from Nightmare Before Christmas. Ahh, good memories. Nice job overall.

Well, it's all finished. Unfortunately, I can't use them in the tournament I made them for, but I still think they turned out great.

More info (including info on the proxy models themselves) here

Hahaha that back-drop is awesome! Great job altogether on the dio, ancientsociety!

Been awhile since I had a chance to update this thread! Well, I finally got around to finishing up the Forgeworld Eldar Void Phoenix I picked up secondhand last summer, unfortunately the previous owner's prime job wasn't the best and it started to pull away in certain areas when I laid the first coat of paint down! So, if you look closely you can see there's some peeling in the crevices. As such, I didn't go through as much of an effort as I had planned, as I know I'll eventually just have to strip it again and start from scratch.

Happy Rapture Day, everyone! To commemorate, I finished the Arch Zealot of the Redemption!

**Moltar**

He looks really good especially the book. But I think you could do better on his banner. It seems kind of plain

Yes, I do agree, however he sat on my table for 2 hours and I just couldn't think of anything! Maybe I'll revisit the banner when I get an idea...

This is a mini I picked up at Adepticon, he's from Badger Games and is called "Slee'Zan with Rifle VIII". Personally, I think he could do double duty as both a Tarellian in Inquisimunda and an alien bad guy in Doctor Who!

They were a joy to paint, lots of character and small enough that it didn't take very long. I mounted them on the taller Rackham bases so they'd stand out more.

Enjoy!

Im in love

Here's my homage to Henchman #21 from the Venture Bros.

**Moltar**

That.Is.Awesome. I like his targeting reticle on the ML

**ancientsociety**

FINALLY got around to painting these excellent old school GW Arbites figures. Believe it or not, they have been sitting in my drawer, primed, for almost 10 years now! These were some of the very first minis I ever bought way, way back in 1996.

The blue basecoat was laid down, zenithal-wise, with airbrush paint. Everything else is Reaper Pro Paints (which I'm becoming addicted to). This is also my first attempt at NMM...what do you think?

**AvatarForm**

I love the Eldar mate!

You gotta tell me where you got the voodoo doll and other dolls in your Malifaux crew.

Thanks. The doll with the coffin is an OOP Rackham Familiar of Darkness. All the other dolls are from Tor Gaming.

Completed Em4's 'Not-Road Warrior' today, I call him "Angry Maxwell". It was tough to get the graying hair on his temples right...

Here's a shot of him with two other Em4 P-A Survivors I did just last year, so you can see how my painting has evolved in only about 14 months.

My first Steampunk mini and one I've had my eye on for quite some time now - Reaper Chronoscope "Sasha Dubois". I'm fairly proud of this piece since it's the first time I've painted a female face convincingly.

**ancientsociety**

Well, finally got around to finishing the last platoon for my EW French - the Motocyclists...lost in the backroads of France. More pics below:

Finished my NBC-suited Soviet troopers today, based in part on Metallica's awesome video for "All Nightmare Long". More pics, as well as a link to the video, here

**MajorTom11**

You have a very unique style, looking forward to seeing more! Nice variety of subjects too -

**sarpedons-right-hand**

This stuff is great! I particularly like Morgan Ra and the Esher Gang....But the Mice clinch it for me, they are just the cutest things ever!

**ancientsociety**

More info and pics here. Enjoy!

**Campbell1004**

All your stuff is good and refreshing. Sometimes its a good idea to throw some non-gw models out there.

**Kimzi Caky**

All of this is wonderful.

I really love your use of bright colours.

There is a link to the full NSFW version here.

How typical - all sorts of twisted monsters and graphic violence are okay but some naked breasts and nipples need to be covered. Pfff! I think we need to reexamine certain values as a culture.

If you want, I'm sure you could visit his blog to ogle her to your heart's delight.

(not that I do or anything)

**Chowderhead**

Malf, she doesn't have socks. Why would you be interested?

Clearly, I was interested before this pic was taken.
