Just something I whipped up quickly last week

I rather like how it came out.

I like how you stayed away from the conventional Rasputina colors. Overall a nice looking crew.

They look very nice.

Very cool, very nice scheme and nice work on the bases as well!

Makes me cold just looking at them, wish I could whip something up like that in a week

Good to see some Malifaux here for a change!

Looking forward to seeing your take on Snow Storm!

I just bought a Rasputina Crew box myself. I'm not a great painter, and probably never will be, but I like to try. Do you mind sharing some of your secrets?

If you don't mind, then how did you do such great blues on the ice Gamin and Golem? One of my issues is mentally moving the paint color from the pot to the model. I always end up with to dark or to light of a color to start with and then highlights just don't work. Looking at the Golem, it looks like you started with a pretty dark blue and then did a bunch of progressively lighter layers. What color did you start with? How many layers?

They look great. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, so allow me to imitate a little.

Thanks for all the compliment guys It's nice to read such kind words.

I have about 0 problem sharing my "secrets" with anyone

The painting of the golem and the gamin is embarassingly simple (and a lot easier that some might think).

I basecoated them all in Vallejo GMC Electric blue. After that I gave them all a heavy wash of Vallejo blue shade wash (no the ink). Once that was dry, I drybrushed again electric blue, gave it another wash of blue shade, and once that was done, I did two more drybrush layers. First was again electric blue, and the second was with GW dry compound Etherium blue. Final touches were done with GW space wolves grey and a fine brush (mostly on the golem) and The same went to gamin bellies, and spikes. Gamin bellies also got a final wash of Vallejo light grey.

Rasputina herself started toward the "official" scheme, but for some reason I felt like applying a purple wash on top of space wolves grey, and her clothes came out just as you see them in the picture, and then my wife walked in, and made me add more purple, which worked really great

I added a touch of red in golem and gamin eyes, another smaller touch of orange in the eyes, and sealed it all with Vallejo polyurethane matte varnish. All in all, I spent a total of 3 hours painting all of these models (excluding the bases).

The bases themselves were sculpted in cork, I glued some sand on the edges, did a layer of pure grey, some lighter grey drybrush, and a bit of snow effect (army painter snow + pva glue + water) and the few tufts of grass
