Malifaux Title Masters

Next we are tackling Zipp and Maxine. I based both of them on ship decks: Airship for Zipp and boat ship for Maxine.

For Maxine, I have been using these premade bases. They are industrial style, with piping and valves and such, and I think they make for a good ship deck. The Zipp bases are custom made. I actually did a video about how to make these bases a long time ago. It was a fun project to do, and there are a lot of different directions you can go with a Malifaux airship because we dont have much in terms of offical art for them.

I already had a base painted up for Maxine. For the shared model, I decided to simply cut off some of the bits from another premade base, and then add some diamond plate to give it more of a look like the custom bases.

For Zipp, I also started with Diamond plate since its a common feature on the airship bases. I then took 2 bits from some space marines, and glued them next to eachother to look like a steampunk machine or an exhaust port.

This is another one where I forgot to take WIP pictures. Maxine was the most interesting model to paint. She has a bunch of tentacles because of her being influenced by the burning man.

I tried to paint them in a pinkish skin color by blending the color along the main tentacle. I kind of feel like I should go back and add some different colors to the suckers and spikes, but there isn’t much to go on in the art.

Zipp was a pretty simple paint job. He looks a lot like his old version, but pirated up. I like the sculpt for this model, I haven’t seen many models swinging on a rope like this.

Beau is a cute little gremmie. He is a lot like other gremlins, but hes holding a fun map. I tend to always paint paper the same, base it in an off white, and then wash it with sepia. It adds a dirty look and almost gives the impression of writing, with almost no effort.
