Malifaux by proxy

Since couple of my mates have 50pts of Malifaux crews I need to bolster my lot. I have two models on order, The Vulture and Canine Remains, but I need some hard hitting stuff. It's going to be a Flesh Construct and The Hanged. I also decided to make one more Zombie and his token form.

When I thought about what to use for my Flesh Construct I thought I could sculpt stuff. And I will, but I need something for this Tuesday, thus a proxy. Looks funny though.

Malifaux ideas

So I managed to paint all those bugs yesterday. I feel like the weekend didn't go to waste. But now, I need to play some Malifaux, and to do that, I need to paint, buy and sculpt some models. Yes! Sculpt...

I have never done it, so it will be an excitine adventure. What I need to do is this:

I feel like I actually could pull this off. Well, not exactly the same looking model, but something similarly ugly. Since I have never sculpted anything beyond a skull or a bottom of a Space Marine boot I thought of basing the mini on an actual skeleton, same one as I used for those zombies here. Then I could layer green stuff all over it creating muscles and other bits and bobs. I found this tutorial on YouTube and I am watching it tonight in bed. Looks kind of straightforward.

The worst case scenario I will waste some green stuff and end up with a shapeless pulp. No biggie.

Avalanche of projects! - End of day two

Another day another dozen and a half models painted. My Space Hulk peoples are getting ready to roll... Here are the lots of 6 from both sides.

First six

Second six

Third six

And the whole lot with extra 4 and a Brood Lord. Space Hulk's Genestealers are finished!

What do you guys think?

Avalanche of projects! - End of day one

Since weekends are the only days I can spend with my wife I didn't do a whole lot. But there is progress on the Genestealers (they are almost finished) and here are the pics of my Malifaux as it is today. Also, a special treat!

Zombies in both forms, a token and a 'living' zombie.

The samurais and the Undertaker. Based with Scorched Brown.

The Genestealers after: base of Adeptus Battlegrey, Scorched Brown and Badab Black on the carapace and Liche Purple on tongues and flesh bits. Also Tin Bitz as base for metal parts and overcoat of Boltgun Metal.

And the special treat from months back! That's who is going to fight them in the claustrophobic corridors of the hulk from space :D

I recently have purchased those Battlefoam trays for Space Hulk from Wayland Games. It's £18 for the set with special bottom trays for all the terrain and such. Funny thing though is the way they can't use the name Space Hulk and have to keep using 'the corridor board game in space' or something similar... hilarious!

I should finish those Genestealers tomorrow, and get on with the samurais, or the zombies. It all depends how much time I have.

'Till Later

Avalanche of projects!

For days, weeks or even months I can go about without touching a brush. Then suddenly I have this urge to cover stuff with paint and that is how my paint station looks like then.



I blame three energy drinks and godly chinese take-away! I will be posting pictures of step-by-step tutorials how I paint certain things. So in the pipelines:
* Malifaux 3 samurais
* Malifaux Undertaker
* Space Hulk 18 genestealers
* Space Hulk 6 marines stripping the the jar in the back
* 40k Orkz 3 DeffKoptas
* 40k Orkz Battlwagon

'Till Later!
