Malifaux Title Masters
Long Time Coming
I helped Wyrd Announce this set of Miniatures in the summer of 2021. It was technically released in Q1 of 2023, but because my FLGS does not carry Wyrd stuff, and the websites I order from are… bad. I didn’t get my hands on them until almost 2 years after the announcement. Naturally, Marcus is the master that I play the most, so I’ve been proxying him (hence the weird base thing)
Anyways… Marcus, Lord cooper and the Empyrean Eagles.
The fun part is, both of these Masters have pretty similar base styles. Marcus and his crew are on jungle style bases. For cooper, I tried to make his bases feel like a path that has been carved out of the forest, because they are all hunters. Turns out, the bases are pretty small and you cant really see the trail much, but oh well. I already had the bases made for Cooper and the Eagles because I did his crew fairly recently, but I’m sure you can guess how I did them. Copy paste for Marcus’ base.
I started Marcus by doing an orangey brown for his fur, followed by a careful drybrush. Its a really cool looking model, but there isn’t actually very much to it. So after that I just painted up his clothing and added some highlights.
Cooper has a little more going on in terms of colors, he has a few metallic limbs and a fun new bow. His clothes have a few splashes of color, and he also has some branches on his back. Im not sure how effective that will be as camo, but who cares… hes a bad guy.
The eagles were a lot of fun to paint. They have these kind of brownish blueish feathers with a suble fade across the wings. I started by base coating them brown, and drybrushing several layers up to the aqua blue. They have a few little details on them, including a little anklet and some creepy eyes.
Marcus is my most played master, and I got a few games in with him right after finishing these guys up. I also snapped a few pics of my collection of Marcuses. I’m only missing one of his sculpts, I’m sure ill round out the collection soon.
