Kaled's Malifaux crews

[Kaled]

Afternoon all,

I just finished my first two crews for Malifaux and, although I haven't yet managed a game with them yet, I thought I'd share a few pics.

But first an introduction - I started playing wargames and painting models about 20 years ago (other than a hiatus when I went to uni). In that time I've mostly played GW Specialist Games - Epic was a favourite when I was younger, but these days I mostly play Blood Bowl and Inquisitor. I'm also involved with the Inquisitor fanzine Dark Magenta and organise the annual Inquisitor Grand Tournament (due to take place in March at WHW in Nottingham).

I came across Malifaux a few months ago and fell in love with the models as they have a lot of character. It feels a little weird to be painting characters who I haven't invented - a very different experience to Inquisitor, but I'm enjoying it immensely.

As I said, I haven't yet played a game of Malifaux - I just picked models that I thought were cool and which looked good together - I guess I'll find out as I go along whether they're actually effective crews.

Anyway, on to the models - first up is my Seamus crew.

After Seamus, I painted a Lady Justice crew.

I've now run out of Malifaux models for the moment, but here's hoping that Santa brings me another crew - I quite fancy doing Collette or Pandora next...

Hope you like them.

P.S. Sorry the pictures aren't the best - the light here isn't exactly great for taking pictures at this time of year.

very nice! I love your skin tones and crispness

Some top notch stuff there, great execution all around, and I like your choices of color selection. And I've always said that it's the little details that really make a model stand out, and you've got that in spades (crows? ) The effects on the birds wings is especially impressive. Looking forward to seeing more of your work, and thanks for sharing.

Lovely dark style. I got to admit I am envious of your blacks and greys.

Difficult to pick a favorite (though if pushed you gotta love the executioner).

[Wolfgar]

This is probably the best Seamus I've seen. If I ran Seamus i think that's how I would want mine to look. You also have very enviable skin tone for your Executioner. Kudos!

Some really lovely work there! I especially like the glowing tendrils from the death marshall's coffin, and the way you've done the claws on the executioner.

Probably one of the all time best first posts!

Wonderful stuff, keeps wyrd models very fresh and shows the potential they can be pushed to!

Lovely work and welcome!

Weew, I love your highlights, very nice paints!
