Thanks.

Have some moar.

37, 38, 39, 40, 41, 42

Trollkin Scouts!

**malfred**

Miniature 43

A Devastator.

Screwed up the model's build. There are pistons that extend the shield arms
lower, but I thought they were spiky bits and ignored them until it was too
late. I suppose I could have ripped the arms back off, but what would that
have accomplished? Just ripping for the sake of ripping.

**Metsuri**

It looks good with the arms positioned the way they are. I really like your orange Khador, the jacks especially jump from the background.

**malfred**

Thanks Metsuri.

Here's Yuri the Axe, aka the falling miniature. I almost assembled him without
his bear trap...

Mini 44

**Da Boss**

Awesome! Your Pokeminis approach is what has inspired my "painted so far this year" sig thingy. Which is working for me to get through my backlog. Just 80 Night Goblins to paint and I get to buy a box of Knights of the Realm!

**malfred**

Thanks, DaBoss. Yeah, it helps me get through the backlog. And a the end of a
year or two, I end up with like three painted warmachine forces! It helps that I need
less to have a playable force.

Miniatures 45-54

**malfred**

55 and 56

Escorts for my Doomreavers for my eButcher theme force.

**malfred**

57-68

Bought a plastic set to paint up some Grey Company. Alternated a dark
grey and light grey on various parts of the cloaks and pants, and used the
light blue as a tie-in.

Actually, they match my trollkin scout scheme fairly closely, heh.

**Lorek**

I'm so very jealous of your miniature painting prowess.

Give me your mailing address and I'll send you some video games to distract you, so I can catch up.

I already have Civ V still shrink wrapped.

Miniatures 69-74

This next set of things will consist of Monsterpocalypse repaints. I generally like
the colors on Monpoc's miniatures, but with the apes I felt it needed some
highlights. The only thing I mostly left alone was the fur, except the bare
skinned portions which I inked.

**malfred**

75-80

I didn't like the all metal van, so I painted them gray and inked them. The windows
were painted blue. The Rockets were kind of funky looking, but separating the colors
on the barrels helped improve their look.

**malfred**

81-83

**malfred**

84 and 85

This is General Hondo. The first pic is of his regular monster form. The only
part I repainted is the armor. I added some layering to the green to make it
work better. The second piece is General Hondo's Ultra Form. If you don't
play Monsterpocalypse then I should explain that the ultra forms are the same
model except made in a colored resin. My thought with the ultra form was to
paint only the clothes but leave the rest in clear resin form.

**Metsuri**

Nice work on the ultra form. It is still recognizable as ultra, but the painted clothes work better on my eyes also. Great idea!

Thanks. One reason I never painted my Terrasaurs was they already came pretty
well painted. The ape guys, however, needed work.

And here's miniature 86, Baby Kade from Malifaux!

Don't turn your back on the baby!

**Metsuri**

Nice work on the babe, makes me itch to paint my resurrectionist crew. The knife is a bit lost against the base in the pics, but the teddy and baby look great.

**malfred**

87...the first of five Oompa Loompa Kobolds

**SagesStone**

Some nice stuff you have here Malfred. I like the molten looking orange you did for that Devastator.

Not my intention at all, but I appreciate the compliment.

88 Oompa Loompa Kobold 2 of 5

**malfred**

89

Oompa Loompa Kobold 3. I think this one is a Flinger.

**malfred**

90

I really should look up the names of these models.

**dbsamurai**

Great work, I'm really impressed at how fast you paint with such good quality...the gloss though bothers me but thats just a personal preference thing

Kind of a dumb question, why do you call it pokeminis? gotta catch em all? cause it seems you don't have a rhyme or reason to your models you just paint "hey this looks cool"...not that im complaining mind you

Gotta paint em' all!

Anyway, here's miniature 91.

Here's a hint: I paint lots of stuff in batches and trickle out the images so as to keep motivated

**malfred**

Miniatures 92 and 93 are from Reaper's Mousling Warrior series. In order
to get variety of fur colors while still painting up batches, I simply stick to
a single color while painting two or three models at a time. When I'm done
I hope they all end up looking unique rather than as if they were cookie
cutter painted.

**malfred**

I made this army profile here on Dakka. They're not new paint jobs, but putting
together the army profile itself can be a task.

Let me know if you're interested in making your own Profile for your armies here on Dakka.

Miniature 94

I have no clue what a Khong-To actually does, but what I know is that he looks sweet as hell.

**Bullfrog**

Those Winterguard are great, they'd make good Vostroyans.

**Moltar**

Khong-To looks awesome, Mal!

Thanks. The model came that way. I just

Huh, hadn't thought of that. They don't have quite enough cybernetics
to qualify though. Maybe with the addition of bionic eyes or something...

Miniature 95 is from Anima Tactics.

I use single models to test out schemes for other models. So this is a
test scheme for some Stormtroopers/Imperial Guard that I wanted to
paint up.
