WYSIWYG - Hannah, Through the Breach / Kickstarter Edition

Honestly, I was pretty happy to get a chance to paint the Kickstarter edition of Hannah. I think the model has a decent pose, and think she's got just a great rules set (we'll see about next edition...), and basically the only issue I have with the model is she's huge.

Way more importantly, though, she's pretty cool looking and actually has the gear represented by her rules: It still mystifies me, why the standard edition doesn't even represent her weapon.

The Family that Slays Together Stays Together - The Sisters / Viktorias crew

In 2nd edition, the Viktorias got a lot more of a punk vibe, and so I tried to turn that up to 11 with color choices, while sticking to a stock scheme.

Time is Meaningless - Tara crew

So, I wasn't really happy with this crew, given that it was my favorite master but far from my favorite paint job. Having had it sit around for a while, I felt it was just a little plain, so it was time to start putting more paint down.

Hands Around My Throat - Forgotten Marshal and Friends

My take on Malifaux's new Forgotten Marshal, using the older Miss Terious as a base.

Come to Me. I'll Be your Guardian Angel - Malifaux Outcasts

Okay, first, to anyone who catches the title reference: Kudos. Also, I assume you can't read those lines not in to voice?

Two of Us, Riding Nowhere - Slender Man & Stolen

Right on the heels of Zoraida's crew, another creep taking a stroll through the woods...

One More Time, with Feeling! - Tara Podcast and crew core (revised)

I swear, this is the last time I'm revising this set. Honest. I think. Until I get another idea maybe.

...Actually, I have more important news besides describing how I'm compulsive about modeling projects: I've now done my first podcast!

I'm on Schemes & Stones' sixth episode, which is now up though I haven't quite gotten the up courage to listen to my mistakes :P (Oh, crap, is it really an hour and a half?!)

"Completely Obvious" - Clear Tara crew, part 2

Yep, still a bit envious of this set.

A Smokey Finish - Clear Tara Crew's Nothing Creatures

Gotta' admit, this is one of the times I'm pretty envious of a set I don't have.

Nothin', really... - Clear Void Wretch Test

As with any clear minis, it's a bit of a fight working with the materials. There's the more brittle clear plastic, followed by painting on an un-primed model, and finally trying to make the mini photograph half-decently, which was a bit of a stumbling block in this case. Somehow, in a softbox with only soft lamps lighting, there was still a lot of glare on the models.

The bottom is a fun bit highlighting the transparency, though usually there wouldn't be any light as harsh as that on the Wretch.

Book Smarts - Friekorps Librarian conversion + Nothing Beast rebasing

A simple riddle: What do you do with a model missing 2 hands and 2 feet?

Pepito, the Biggest Death Marshal in the Whole-Wide-World - Hannah Conversion & Tactics

I've done a lot of looking at and re-thinking Hannah and decided that I consider her one of Tara's thematic bunch: Tara was narratively Friekorps, and Hannah has Void-related abilities connected to Horror and Bury mechanics. Also, she can already work in either faction, and isn't seriously limited by not getting her Upgrade out of faction. So...

Proper bookkeeping - More Tara cards incl. reference cards

So, finally got around to adding a few more cards for Tara (and the Dead Justice crew).

Western Frankenstein - Conversion Experiments with Through the Breach & Malifaux

The Through the Breach multipose kits offered me the one thing I felt was wholly missing from Malifaux: conversion fodder.

Goin' Out West - Western-themed Malifaux Zombies

Guess what? I still like bleak, Western-themed stuff.

Back from the Dead: Karina and her new upgrade

With Karina's improved rules, I decided it was time to improve her paint job, too.

Double-shifts - Illustrations for the Dead Justice Death Marshal cards in m2e

I decided some time ago that Wyr'd cards were distinctly lacking a few, and now that I've had some experience getting them printed, I finally was up to tackling this design (and needed a break).

Steampunk Smaaash! - Malifaux Friekorps Strongarm Suit

An atmospheric piece I entered in a competition a bit back.

Hang 'em High - Montresor + Hanging Tree / Nightmare Edition Hanged

The spooky trees were pretty difficult to get just right.

Sounds of Silence - Tara and Obliteration Tactics

Tara isn't a world killer and likely won't be getting the job done on her own, but is highly versatile and, most importantly (for me, at least), has a cool theme.
