Today I worked on a Malifaux Resurrectionist crew based on the Spirits of Vengeance. I really like the feel of these angry ghosts and they'll be a fun diversion from the Dark Eldar horde I've been focusing on lately.
I'm trying a new wood technique. Its a synthetic iron oxide gel. Applied over white it gives a warm feeling. I've done one coat and then re-coated the recesses of the grain. I think two general coats would have gotten the same result. There is no other shading or highlighting done so far, and it looks pretty good as is, but I'm anticipating some edge highlights.
The dark earthen areas on the bases will get revisited with weathering powders as the final step.
One of the spirits will be based entirely in water filled with eyeballs...yuuuck!
I'm trying out some Blasted Swamp bases from Secret Weapon. They are standard 25mm bases a la GW but have recessed surfaces that allow for water effects to almost the same depth as the new 30mm round-lip styles. These will be used on the Court of the Archon for my Blood Rain Kabal. I've based all the newer models for the Kabal in a watery swamp style so it should be a good fit. The regular bases take a lot of work to get a believable depth of water effect so ... we'll see how it goes!
As you can see the desk is pretty chaotic! The Malifaux crew is getting worked on at the same time as the Court of the Archon... and old fashioned bulk job but with a lot of experimentation added in..
