Something different is always good. Especially when it comes to painting. After a chat with a friend at the local gaming store, I managed to work myself into a free commission, to help paint some stuff up for the store cabinet.
I got to choose a starter box from Malifaux, a character driven skirmish game set in a steampunk lovercraftian world, and I chose the Red Chapel Murders. Think Jack the Riper, dead prostitutes and a leprechaun. Welcome to Malifaux
Admittedly, I was overwhelmed at the detail. These figures are amazing. Infinity has the gold on loads of detail, but the attitude in these figs was undoubtedly phenomenal.
But like I was saying, painting something out of ones comfort zone is always recommended. I also got to play with making a faux slate base with bits of cut up card board.
The tones and palette was very unusual for me, a lot of the colours I had to mix myself.
Just a small post. These were a commision, but damn they were hard to let go of. Malifaux isn't a game which takes long to play, its not too expensive, but demands a lot of scenery. Getting a board solution at home is the plan over Christmas, if the scenery looks good I may return!
