Malifaux Title Masters

Ophelia was a fun model to paint. I started by doing her skin with my typical gremlin formula, its basically just GWs formula for Orks. Shes got a pin in her arms which I painted with a muted pink, and then it was just a matter of painting her clothes and all her belts.

The finishing touch was to paint the tips of all the bullets with a metallic paint. I think it adds a lot. Shes a lady who likes guns, and she needs plenty of ammo to fight off the red cage abominations.

The last step was to add a bunch of random vegetation to make it look like she’s in the swamp.

Sly six shots himself is kind of an understated model, so he got a pretty basic paintjob. Next to his is his case of goodies that he peddles, and I think it is the part of the model that will get the most attention.

I started by base coating the wooden parts, and then going over all of the gun barrels and handles. Then I hit the whole thing with a dark brown wash. I probably could have stopped there, but I decided to go back over it all with a bit of a highlight to make some parts stand out.

The I added foliage, the same swamp stuff to some side, and some dry deserty stuff to the other. Overall I was pretty happy with the transition between the two biomes.

Perdita is one of my favorite characters in Malifaux. She’s basically Dominic Toretto if he was Latina and even cooler than he is. This new model is a bit understated compared to most that have come out with Malifaux Burns, but I think that is because it is showing her character growth. She started out as a teenager who was a bit more reckless, and who was kind of sexualized. Now she ought to be in her 30s, and I kind of like the new dignified look, as shes taking on her role as the Matriarch of her family.

It was a pretty simple paint job. One fun bit was the few areas of fur on her outfit. I did those by undercoating in a medium gray, and then doing a pretty heavy drybrush, probably closer to an overbrush, with a lighter gray with a bit of a tan color mixed in to give it a bit of warmth.

I added a few tufts to her base and shes all done.

And the gangs all here. This was a fun box to paint up. I have never been a huge fan of the Gremlins, but Ophelia has really grown on me. I might have to put her on the table some day soon.

As always, if you wanna learn more about either of these characters, check out the lore videos I did on them below, and stay tuned for the next box!
