Malifaux Goblins

Posted by Brian on Jan 14, 2010 in Miniatures, Painting

Goblins-001I’m finally to the point where I can show off my goblins to the world. These guys are pretty awesome models. I tried out some new stuff this time around. I tried using the triad paints from Reaper. It’s a great idea, but I find myself having great difficulty with layering. The paint gets so thin it wants to run into the cracks instead of stay where I put it. The water is a whole lot of inks over a blue base. I think it came out pretty well. I went back over the water with Future floor wax after I matte coated the minis to make it shine again. The bases I made myself out of epoxy putty. More pics after the break. Read more…

I laid them all out in photoshop in huge groups and printed on some “Experts Choice” clear decal film. I used a 600dpi file to insure the file resolution exceeded my printer. I used my HP 3600n color laser to print. I’ve heard that inkjets have alot more problems since the ink will run. The printing on the laser was delicate, but waterproof at least. Read more…
