I’ve shifted from Bloodbowl to Malifaux for a little bit. I’ve got a bye in Bloodbowl so it will be a few weeks until I play again. While, in just 3 short weeks I am playing in a Malifaux tournament (Twatifaux). As a result I want to get as much painted as possible so as to give me variety in what I run. This little guy doesn’t spend long on the board to be frank. I tend to be killing him in order to create a scrap marker that then starts my Steam Arachnid engine. Still, one day I might keep him round past turn 1.

The colours I went with are a sickly flesh. So the base is a yellowish tan with a hint of green. I then applied some blue/brown/black washes to give it an off look. The arcing is done it really bright light blue to give it that electric hue. I made no attempt to be smooth with the arcing, so it’s got a scratchy look to it. I think that helps bring out the electric look. There is also some really slight OSL on the body that was a simple dry brush with some of the same blues used in the arcing.

I’m not sure what happened around the base. For some reason my varnish started to peel. Fortunately it was just around the base, so I could peel it and repaint it black.
