Not having played malifaux for long I have started on my resurrectionist crew. With games using so few models compared to warhammer It really got me wanting to get my crew painted. So this is where I have started, the punk zombies.
Back in October when I first
bought the crew box, I painted up one of the punk zombies straight away without
any though on how I wanted the model to
look. Now that I have come back and focusing on the models a bit more I decided
that I wanted a different look for the undead aspect of the crew.

In the original model you can see I have done for a kind of rotten
flesh feel, which while I like the idea, it doesn’t come across very well and
just looks odd when you look at it. Now I have gone for a rather more stylised
way of showing that the model is dead. Using the pale green is in no way
realistic, but I feel it gives off a better impression, and you instantly pick
up it’s a zombie instead of some pinky/green mess.
In order to get the green to a stage I like, I based the skin with
goblin green, and then went over with camo green leaving the goblin in the recessed.
Then over a couple (4 or 5) different layers I mixed camo with rotting flesh., progressively
adding in more flesh until I could just high light with rotten flesh and it not
look out of place.
Another reason why I wanted to paint these models is that they are so
different from 40k. In 40k you get a lot of rather similar models but with this
they all are rather individual, and its a nice change for me.
Next up to paint for Malifaux Is a flesh construct and Toshiro. Here
is a sneak peak at the work in progress.
What a massive improvement between the old paint and new job! Well done!
