Blood Money

[Lord Shaper]

Time for a change from Guild with what would be the faction that I have the least amount of figures for which is the Outcasts. I have picked up individual figures along the way so I can use them with some of my existing crews but until recently I haven’t had a single master for them.


That has been rectified as I did recently pick up both Vikki blisters along with the Freicorp boxed set which I have finished 2 Trappers so far and have started on the Freikorpmenn.


So to start off I have both Desperate Mercs as most Malifaux players will have at this point. Generally they have been used in my Sonnia and aSonnia crews as minions who will become Stalkers… or with McMourning to be used for Body Parts…


Yes I need to actually use them for more but how can you go past a figure you can use For My Family and then turn them into something else… Maybe I should start using them with Zoraida so she can obey them after doing the “For my Family!”





Next we have Lady Hammerstrike herself which was one of the first Malifaux figures I painted. To be honest looking back at her after seeing the figures like the Exorcist, Mercs and Sue I can see a huge difference in my painting style… Is it time for a repaint?






And next we have Sue, The man in black.


I really loved the fluff for him and I can see him being used with Sonnia/aSonnia as well as numerous other crews so I had to get him. I also didn’t just want to paint a Black figure so I added some brown and blue to him as well as the chest piece I painted up as armour as that’s what it looked like to me.


The Flames I did as a Blue and how can you go past letting him have a Steel Guitar!
Also with the Base inserts the Desperate Mercs had ones from Fenris Games which were the same ones as I have for my Dead Justice crew and Sue was on one of the Ruined City ones from Dark Age. With the Dark Age base there was some metal reinforcing bar coming out of the side but with that being resin felt like it was going to break off so I replaced it with some paper clips.






Lastly we have one of the most notable figures in Malifaux, Jackdaw.
I painted this one a while back… When I did my Hanged. The sculpt is fantast and he was nice and easy to paint as well. As I started doing spirits in the washed out green I did the same with Jack and think he came out really well. I also attempted to do some OSL around his eyes but I think that could have been done better.



As I said I am working on more and I have finished Miss Demeanor and Johan which I need to get some shots off.

Really like the green skin on the spirit

[Lord Shaper]

Really like the green skin on the spirit

Thanks!

I've used the same on my Hanged and a few other spirits like the Lost Love... I wanted him to be more ethereal

[Jewomie]

Wow, if you don't mind my asking, how much time passed between Taelor and the Desperate mercs? You have greatly improved! and that is saying something because Taelor certainly does not look bad. Not at all. :D

Keep up the good work. I look forward to seeing your Freikorps all painted up.

P.S. while i don't think taelor needs to be repainted... i rather like going back to old minis and repainting them. that's just me though. :D

Hey,
You've done a really great job on the desperate mercenaries, the skin looks really realistic. The eye lighting on Jack looks good to.

I think there's been about 2 years between Taelor and Sue and also I had painted Taelor originally with my Lady Justice crew when I got into the game and before that I had an 8 year break from miniature painting.

I have thought about going back to her but as I wouldn't want to go through the whole stripping her and redoing it I'd probably just end up getting another one and basing it in theme with the Viks that I'm doing now with the Freikorps

Thanks... I think the camera had something on the lens from one of the kids which caused the ring around there that blurs them so I'm going to have to get some more photos again I think.

[Soundwave]

Lookin' real fine, mister! Sue looks real dandy!

[Lord Shaper]

Well I have finally got more than just additions to another crew.

First up the Vikki's





Then to go with her we have the Freikorps



















I also did Misaki but after she was knocked off my painting table I was over her so I finished the figure but not as high as I wanted too...





And lastly we have Miss Demeanor who I need to get a better photo of her...

[Lord Shaper]

Here's some White Background pics of the Viks and aViks

[Viruk]

The pics are very dark, I'd suggest trying taking pics with a different source of light or using different camera options. At this point it's hard to write anything specific as the details can't be seen well enough.
