Me and My Shadow - Kirai Crew, second half

Continuing with my revisions on another person's paint job... I think the Seishin were a pretty cool improvement in second edition, and particularly like first pair for some unusually nice texturing on the part of Wyrd's digital sculptors.

Me and My Shadow - Kirai Crew, first half

So, I believe this is a first for me- heavily retouching someone else's paint jobs.

Never Gonna' Keep me Down - Malifaux Resurrectionists - Forgotten Marshal and Bête Noire

I really don't like the standard Forgotten Marshal. Mostly the part where it makes no sense that he's missing a coffin. What, does he keep the zombie that falls out in his pocket? His Hat?

What You Are, We Once Were - Malifaux Zombie Conversions

This lady ranks right up there around my favorite undead I've worked on.

Drop-Dead Gorgeous - Seamus and His Belles

It was time for Seamus, in all his egotistical glory, to get a face lift.

Once More, with Feeling - Undead Guild

Continuing in my recent trend of resurrecting the already undead...

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.

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.

Namu Ami Butsu Namu Ami Butsu... - Yan Lo crew, part 2

Going with a very loose Japanese Buddhist theme, here.

The Muck and the Mire - Yan Lo crew, part 1

It's been a long, long time since I've played with swamp environmental effects like these, and it was pretty cool, coming back to it after a decade since I had my old Nurgle collection. (I feel old, now...)

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.
