Starting on the Relic Hunters


In between other projects (and boy, aren't there too many of them) I decided to start blocking out my colors on the Malifaux Relic Hunters I was tempted to purchase last month. Usually I'd have a clear idea of scheme for all the models and then I'd work on them in batches, starting with the darkest colors and layering up.

Most of the scheme has been decided for me (I'm sticking pretty close to the Wyrd "Studio scheme" for this group), so I'm going to have some fun with it by starting with mid-tones, highlighting up, then pushing in some other colors for shades. Fingers crossed it'll work alright.


I couldn't help myself and just had to start highlighting and shading the coat of this Guild Rifleman. Such beautiful models : ) I also enjoyed the detail on the gaiters.


And here's my tester for the bases. I think the freshly laid wood is going to work well against the black, blue, grey, and white scheme.

Cheers
Dave

  2. I'm painting these myself at the moment, very interested in seeing how yours turn out. First time for ages I've painted eye brows - on the bald Wastrel :)

  3. Fantastic wood grain. The upturned piece just adds to it immensely.

  4. They are seen very well, a range of very curious miniatures. I will continue observing. Regards.

  5. Thanks guys.

    The bases are from Chris Borer's Full Borer Miniatures, and the colors for the wood are a little different from my usual take, but I hope it'll all work well together.

    Cheers
