Seamus Starter Box - Finished

These were actually completed about a week ago, and posted, but I didn't like the picture quality so decided to take down the post and re-shoot the miniatures. In the meantime I have been working on the additions to Seamus' crew; Copycat Killer, Crooked Men, The Hanged and Bete Noir. As soon as I finish these off I'll be starting on my recently purchased Lilith Crew box and a pack of Young Nephilim.

Looking them over I can see I need to make smoother transitions in the highlights, as it is rough on some of them. Having not painted anything larger than 15mm scale in 8 or 10 years, I'm pretty happy with them.

Seamus Red Chapel Crew

I have most of the starter box painted, I just need to finish up the bases and some detail work. I also purchased a couple packs today (Bete Noire, The Hanged, Crooked Men, and a Copycat Killer) to fill out Seamus' crew and get him up to 35 SS's. Looking forward to finishing up my first Malifaux crew.

I've been using an awesome crew creator application by Ratty of the Official Wyrd forums to create my crew. Be sure to check out the rest of his site as he has downloadable counters, templates and other useful things for Malifaux!

Seamus Painting Progress

After cutting, what seems like, hundreds of planks for my Wild West buildings I decided to take a break and start painting Seamus and his crew. Here are some Work In Progress shots of what I've done so far.

I should note that I typically use a Black Primer base coat, so this is a first for me using White Primer. Using Black generally makes it look dark and grimy, which I actually prefer most of the time on my miniatures. But for this set I wanted the clothing to be bright and vibrant. I'm going for flashy Undead hookers...

I also need to get some more units for Seamus to get his SS total to 35. I'm definitely grabbing a Copycat Killer and some Crooked Men as their Shafted ability go really well with the Belles ability to lure enemy models into them.

Malifaux - Seamus Assembled and Primed

Got my Red Chapel Gang Starter Box all assembled and primed. Now I just have to paint them up!

Scattered around them you can see some Crystalline Counters I found from Three Sages Games. They look like little crystals and are available in a several different colors. I'll be using them to mark status effects during the game. I also picked up a pack of the 30mm bases from Privateer Press today to make some Corpse counters, just need to look for suitable corpses to model on the bases.

Malifaux Seamus

My current project is the Red Chapel Gang box for the game Malifaux by Wyrd Miniatures. I'm still debating on how I want to paint the crew, layered blending or the Steve Dean style with strong layered contrasts. I started by modelling the bases first as I like to assemble and base miniatures for painting. I'm well underway on the assembly phase and hope to get some painting started soon.
