OATHING: Thagrosh, The prophet and his entourage of a Scythean, Angelius, and Ravagore from Privateer Press



do 3 50mm and one 40mm base models count towards the "Theme" prize?

Also Sole.Sushi you never replied when I asked what I did for the Guild Harmony model in the last thread. I am curious.

DETEKTUV'S JOURNAL

I managed to finish the Angelius in a single sitting and had I known I'd be doing that I would have done speedpainting for it but alas. started on the other two beasts.


Basecoats on the beasts done, comparison of the yellow that goes beneath before the mentalic coating. I'm not 100% sure but I feel it brightens up the brass colour a bit where the yellow is beneath.


Thagrosh before the essence of life washes over him.

I will admit, I could have done a lot better particularly on the two samey beasts but I'm impressed I managed to get them done at all. Being stuck in a hospital for a good chunk of the month and being bedridden for a lot of the rest makes it hard to get painting done.

Ama no Zako has devoured many and slain more in her toxic miasma, and in the process her robes have gotten all dirty! Bloodstains and purple vapor stains just will not wash out. Puppet Seamus's cleaver and Pokey Viktoria's pokey bits still hold stains from the surprisingly blood filled dolls they've carved up.

These gobbers are sporting spiny mowhawks. Now how could that have happened?

Backstory
"Bro! I found one!" One gobber shouted to another. He ripped the sheet off the tavern billboard and ran to the bar where his brother sat. The elder gobber turned from his drink and adjusted his goggles to look at the sheet. Wanted: fogmakers. If interested head up the path until you reach snow. We'll find you. "It's work bro!"
"Looks sketchy to me Mog. No credentials. We don't need a job that ba-"
The bartender interupted with a rather forced cough.
"Ok maybe we do. A job's a job. Where do they need us?"

The goblin brothers trudged along the mountain path, fog gear in tow. "I sure hope these fellows pay well. Cold's gettin' to me."
"Oy, I see snow up ahead. Any camps?"
The big gobber turned a knob on his goggles. "Not even any smoke. This better not have been a waste of-"
Something zoomed by and the big goblin kneeled over.
"Vog!" was all the second could say before being hit.

Vog awoke in shackles nailed to a tree. "My aching head... Didn't think I'd get skorne this far north. Well I escaped you guys twice I can do it again!". The gobber fidgeted with his manackles and quickly freed himself. First rule of being a non-human mercenary: Know how to escape from a bad gig. This time was easy, they hadn't even taken his gear. Adjusting his goggles he peeked around the tree. Mog was speaking with some robed figures. Except...
"Mog?"
The younger goblin's skin was discoloured and little spines were sprouting out of him. One of the robed figures was muttering giberish.
The goblin turned to his old name. His eyes were glowing.
"Welcome to the legion brother"
The back of Vog's mind screamed to run away. His body refused to cooperate. Little spines began to grow out of his skull.
"Yes.. The Legion."


I always figured being "blighted" was like some combination of mutation and brainwashing, since the blighted nyss are described as loving everblight. Why not have mercs become blighted too?

I think it's quartz. I don't actually know myself; I got it from a big jar of assorted rocks. I cleaned them off and layered water effects over it. Several people actually thought I'd left salt covered ice out on a plastic disc and were curious as to how it hadn't melted.

Question about the diorama; if I decide to do one should I oath addition the unpainted terrain piece for it? Also would it count as one or just a fancy base if I did say, The hooded rider puppet there on a street infront of a brick wall casting a shadow that looks like its proper Malifaux model. I'd post an image of it anyway should I get that little scene built in time but was mostly wondering if just an image or an official "oath addition" picture would be required.

Doublesided tokens for Scrap/corpse/scheme in Malifaux. In keeping with my freikorps theme, Johnny joins as a regular soldier. The specialist, well... After the great PDF codex layoff some battle sisters turned to mercenary work. Flag based on the freikorps lightning bolt mixed into the Order of Our Martyred Lady and her colour scheme matches the order's as well.

I was wondering if it would be alright to merge the related models images into a single photo for the next time as well, just to reduce the total number of images or if this works well enough as it is.

I wrote it in the paragraph right beneath those images; freikorps painted like Johnny from Metal Gear Solid and the freikorps with the flag is painted in the scheme of a battle sister from 40k whilst being a Malifaux model.

Pandora. Elusive neverborn capable of blending in with humans and tough enough for the Ortegas themselves to seek additional help in her capture. The Freicorps had received a large sum up front, with the other half in exchange for her head. With new recruits Johnny the freicorpsman and Sister F the Specialist, the mercenary group set up a trap and had at last corned the wicked creature. With Von Schill's morale boosting aura they had assumed the bounty was secure and the fight was over. Then the box opened.
