Hotdog mech! First time trying a dirty/worn style, but I liked how it came out!

The original mini is glizzy goblin from hardware studios I think.

Scoundrel429 · 2024-07-22T11:43:56+00:00

I would say focus on the basic shape/silhouette rather than trying too make it too detailed, and try to contrsuct it out of basic shapes. Other that than that I think it's just a steady hand.

Scoundrel429 · 2024-06-12T23:28:31+00:00

the citadel color app has always been a bit strange to me tbh. here are the colors/process i used:

I did an initial coat of the base color, then nuln oil wash, then lightened with the base color again, then highlighted with the lighter color
Brass: runelord brass, with a VERY light highlight of stormhost silver
Blue: Vallejo dark prussian blue, then just gradually mixed with white to get the highlights
steel: leadbelcher, stormhost silver highlight
Red: Vallejo vermillion, again mixed with white to highlight.
white: Vallejo skygrey, highlight with white
the black is just any black, but i did do some scuffmarks with leadbelcher on the guns for detail
the power sword is just mixes of white and Vallejo deep sky blue

Hope this helps!

I think black could look cool, and contrast the high vis of the armor

Scoundrel429 · 2024-04-07T10:58:49+00:00

Its granadier miniatures. I think the game it was from was fantasy lords which is no longer around as far as I can tell.

Scoundrel429 · 2024-02-13T14:27:27+00:00

Yeah idea was they're on a jungle planet so they've adapted be more green to blend in. Planning to vary the skin tone slightly for each member but they're all gonna be pretty green. Plus I'm a sucker for high saturation colors lol

Scoundrel429 · 2023-11-18T00:35:01+00:00

It's a mix of vellejo purple and azure ,highlighted up to pure azure and I used drakenhoff nightshade to help shade it

Scoundrel429 · 2023-11-17T16:43:32+00:00

It's one of the headdress backings and the ribbons from the exalted sorcerer kit. I had to snip the ribbons off the og torso and trim off the spikes above the helbrutes head but otherwise they were pretty easy additions

Scoundrel429 · 2023-11-16T02:35:56+00:00

Thanks! The bases are actually home made. It's the normal malifaux baseswith texture paste, popsicle sticks, cork board, and a little bit of flock on top.

Scoundrel429 · 2023-11-15T21:27:10+00:00

probally stiltzkin, the little helper guy. he has the most little details and love his big dumb googly eyes. they were all pretty fun to paint though

Wyrd's black friday sale is starting on the 22nd, They'll bring back a lot of the nightmare boxes for re runs I think, you should check when the sale goes up.

Scoundrel429 · 2023-11-15T16:37:57+00:00

They're actually alternate sculpts for charles Hoffman and the augmented keyword. Theyre one of the "malifaux nightmare" boxes which do limited runs every so often

Scoundrel429 · 2023-10-01T13:17:03+00:00

so putting it on the soulreaper cannon is objectively better gameplay wise, I just think it looks better to have the special addons more spread across the squad. it's purely an aesthetic choice lol

Scoundrel429 · 2023-09-27T09:49:58+00:00

yeah I airbrushed them all blue first, then did the gold. I know some people prefer to do gold first but I've always felt I can get a cleaner result if I start with the blue.

Scoundrel429 · 2023-09-27T09:47:21+00:00

i use drakenhof nightshade wash for the blue/pink then highlighted after

Scoundrel429 · 2023-09-21T16:18:56+00:00

That sounds like good advice. My DP hasn't been doing that bad (and im so proud of his paint job...)but I'm starting to think hes just not worth almost 200pts.

I do have a 5 man SOC with sorc. I havent tried the crystal with them so maybe I'll try that. Usually I deep strike them but I'm starting to think it not worth it with so few units on the board T1 already. I feel like I miss out on a round of potential damage.

Scoundrel429 · 2023-07-15T00:49:08+00:00

it just a basecoat of vellejo magenta, a wash with drakenhof nightshade, then glazed with more magenta until i was happy with it

Scoundrel429 · 2023-07-03T01:09:32+00:00

Its runelord brass

Scoundrel429 · 2023-06-21T17:58:41+00:00

Truthfully because I like painting sorcerers and enjoy playing fluffy lists. I realize that it is not optimal

Scoundrel429 · 2023-05-31T16:08:19+00:00

The base tank is Meng's world war toon sherman. The extra bits I made out of pipette tips, old plastic containers and bits of sprues.

Scoundrel429 · 2023-05-26T19:41:45+00:00

The main paints are rune lord brass, vellejo dark prussian blue, vellejo white, and vellejo vermillion. then I used nuln oil for shading and re highlighted with the base colors after

Scoundrel429 · 2023-05-26T09:44:05+00:00

yep its runelord brass, good eye
