Bonus, fun with magnets;


Apologies for the lack of a clear picture of the Tritons - half my flight stands are too large to fit in the bases/widgets so need to work at them with a file. Decided not to put the orange stripe on the dropships as there wasn't anywhere that looked 'right'. Also had fun with the weathering liquids I picked up after Salute this year (found here) - they dry quick, opaque (or transparent, depending on the colour/effect), and are water soluble even after drying. Smell vile though, and need spray varnish to avoid re-wetting.

Oath Complete!



I've converted the Malifaux model "Envy" so that it's no longer a tiny old man pianist, but is instead DJ-NV, the hottest new DJ in all of Malifaux! The conversion is loosely based on Arcade Sona from League of Legends, for the Jurnal of including something from a video game.



I know I hosed up a lot of things on the model, not least her gigantic eyes. Unfortunately I didn't leave myself enough time to redo it this month, so you guys get to see the first draft, crazy eyes and all. I wasn't sure what to do on the music sheets, but eventually decided that "MINE MINE MINE GIVE IT TO ME" seems pretty envy-appropriate, and easy enough to fit on the tiny pages. The turntable is an original part of the model - I have no idea why it was there, when the fluff describes the giant steam spider organ thing as having a semi-circular keyboard.





I'm using the Reaper Dancer as a proxy for the unreleased Malifaux "Ice Dancer" model, featuring the same blue skin, silver jewellery, and lack of clothing as the original art.








It's weird that I managed to do acceptable skin tones in blue, but not in real people colours.

And additional oath complete!



I'm claiming the theme challenge too please. These are all taken directly from the Batman Arkham Asylum game and Victor Zsasz on the left there has appeared in the Gotham TV show in his pre-Asylum days. I was trying for something that was neither tones of black/grey/dark blue nor the typical Blackgate prison orange that is very common in the Batman game. I was shooting for grubby off-white straight jackets instead.

I did take loads more pics but they all turned out to be crap for some reason. I was trying to show Zsasz's 'marks' and my attempts at palid lunatic musculature but most the pics came out too damned blurry. My camera seemed to be struggling with the lighting and locking onto the lighter colours. :/

Oath Cmplete!

Part one, Drop Zone Commander:


Theme:
Looking like GDI from the more walkerish time of Tiberium Sun.




I hated this part. I oathed too much so it was nothing but batch work and on models that did not speak to me. I don't think I am cut out for less than 28mm games since I can't get into them as much. The more zoomed out the less 'narrative' I feel.


Now on to the stuff I had fun painting:






Linked for PAINFULLY large. These non-cellphone cameras really make you sad with the level of detail they pick out. I know I am not much of a painter but when you compare your work to the super close ups of Jen Haley's minis it hurts a lot. I know I barely spend any time and I just use table top standard techniques but drat.

The models are ok. They are very similar to mantic restic, but maybe a touch stiffer. There were more mold lines than I realized once the primer was there. I tried to remove them but I was just ready to paint at that point. Some parts had basically no detail at all, the left side of the female werewolf's mouth where teeth and gums were supposed to be. I kinda had to just paint colors to make the illusion of detail, but those areas were few, but it was a problem I see with the medium.
