Pagans little bit of everything...lots of pics
Hi everyone, just joined up but have been playing for a while now.
I am one of those gamers who needs to have lots of options to fit with the mood I am in, so I have managed to collect a fair bit from across the range...except the Outcasts (no particular reason, really like Leviticus).
Anyway, thought I would share some of the models I have done to date. There is a ton more that needs to be photographed, but here is what I have on hand.
I am also right into making my own scenery and have experimented with a huge range of materials and methods from basic and cheap through to more complex and expensive. Hopefully I will be able to start a blog on making your own stuff easily and effectively soon.
My first master and still one of my favorites...

McMournings mate for larger games...and great on his own. The alt sculpt got me into the who Seamus crew

Lovely ladies...still have more to paint!

Good golly, Miss Molly!!

I had a great game with this the other day against the gremlins...by the time they stacked on and killed it McMourning was just around the corner and had enough body parts to summon it back into play! Fun times (for me...Sommer and his crew wept!)

The Dead Rider. I have all four painted up together now as a kind of show case. they really are awesome.

Yup, ressers are the focus for now...I'll get some neverborn up soon.

Dogs, dogs and more dogs.

Anyway, thanks for having a look, hopefully I will get more stuff posted up later...time to put the kids to bed

They all look really good! Nice painting but I really like the look on Molly's face. It say's "I gotta what, with Seamus for the rest of time?!"

Love these, all are very well done.
The only complaint (and it is very minor) is the bases which seem less than inspired and definately dont do justice to the models. I might suggest introducing a pattern and a gloss coating to make them look a bit more like porcelin tile.President of the Louisana Chapter of the Gremlin Anti-Defamation League

Thanks guys, hoping these attract a few players

The bases are intentionally plain so they don't detract/distract from the models. I have done some other projects with fancy bases and these guys were an attempt at something different.
Here are a few of my Neverborn
Lilith

Doppelganger

The Dreamer
All of the Neverborn with the Nightmare trait have 'Floating Castle' ruins for bases with cloud effects. Looks good and helps me keep track of who is who.






So...for me it depends on the effect I am trying to get from the model.
My guild are all bases on basic street cobble stones like this guy,

The base should give the model a 'place' but does not have to be overpowering. Kind of like flavors in cooking, depending on your materials you either spice it up or tone it down for taste and effect.
And yes, I make all my own bases

Great work all around. The Neverborn bases are a masterpiece, they suit these models perfectly and give them an eerie feel.

Wow! Great painting all round, and gotta love the Neverborn bases. Really great look somewhere between an ocean swell and a mystic fog ^^

Those bases are beautiful but I do agree with the second part of the quote above.
For example the Pale Rider's base is very well done and suits the model very well. The Neverborn ones though very well done, do at times distract from the actual models (looking at Lillith primarily as hers is definately over the top).
Comparing them to the Ressurectionist ones I still feel those bases could use a little bit more "omph". Nothing super drastic perhaps just a subtle pattern to the tiles. Of course if your happy with them that is all that really matters in the end.President of the Louisana Chapter of the Gremlin Anti-Defamation League

Agreed, Lilith has been taken down (that is I took off the top 2/3 of the pillar).
But in the end the Lilith crew is all very 'vegetated' in theme and shares the ruins with the dreamer (over all Neverborn theme I have going). Yup...basing is a tricky business.
May have to go back and look at the ressers...but there are so many of them !!!Stealing Bones and Breaking Stones

A few more models photographed.
These have served me well in recent demos as they are quite flashy and get lots of interest.

Lilith taken down a notch from the very tall and silly base.

Boys AND girls (I mean men and women) liked Nekima. Knew the fellas would be into, but was happy the ladies liked it also.


With his cloak showing the shades of light from dusk to dawn the hooded rider got some love too. He was once described as 'pretty'. Wasn't sure how to take it so I smiled

After doing some trades a while back I ended up with 4 of these guys. Anyway, while not pretty they were still liked. I think I have a few people interested...with at least two having a planned Malifaux Christmas Present!Stealing Bones and Breaking Stones

The new batch is very nice, I like Nekima and the Waldgiest. I really like that you positioned the crouching one hiding behind a small shrub (I did mine the same way though with a much bigger shrubbery).
The Hooded Rider is visually very interesting and the color transitions on the "feather" cape well done.President of the Louisana Chapter of the Gremlin Anti-Defamation League
