Hello chaps & chapesses, just a quick post today. I got a few more civilians completed over the week – a pair of excellent Inquisitorial scribes from the 2000’s, and two more of the Colony 87 minis (a porter and a preacher type). I’ve been playing with inks again, particularly trying to get a way of painting Black that I like… these guys were given many black washes, a slightly thicker wash in the recesses and then a very light drybrush with I think Eshin Grey. It’s subtle, but I think I like it! The Colony 87 chaps have been painted to go with the House Malocchio nobles that I presented last week, though a bit shabbier, (as befits their station). Here they are:
And here’s the Malocchio family discussing tithes with some scribes of the Administratum… Conte Fabian doesn’t look to happy about it!
Anyhow, that’s it for today – no fluff for these guys I’m afraid, (though they are certainly characterful enough!). I have more civvies on the workbench to be painted over the next couple of weeks and then into silly season! Ho ho ho :-)
Leadballoony - It's a lead thing 
You’re on a super roll, just the kind of models I love to create a good setting. Perfect.
Thanks dude, all part of a master plan 😉
They look great sir! The green really pops!
Thanks mate, been playing with inks on white… you get a really bright finish which is quite different to my usual dark approach. Been fun to mix it up!
Brilliant work – I MUST start painting my Colony87 stuff!
Thanks mate, and yeah… you must! They’re super-good fun 😊
I know I’m a massive noob but what is this colony 87 ye speaketh?
It was a kickstarter run by Jon/Axiom a while back (magpieandoldlead blog, link in my RogueQuest posts) – they’re Rogue Trader-esque sci fi civvies and they are lovely. He may still have some! 😊
I’ll have a squiz, cheers
Damn nice! Your black & green pattern works really well on these!
Thanks dude – I’m learning to love black at the moment… it’s a slow process ;-)
I love how the baby appears to be looking rather sceptically in the direction of the Administratum officials. The old man should have put him in charge of the deal – maybe then he’d have come away looking a bit happier!
As ever nice work – I must check out these Colony 87 models, they’re really rather nice.
Glad you like mate, and yes, they are lovely minis and well worth a look! I’m glad I did them justice :-)
Nice work on all of these. I’ll have to have a look at the Colony 87 models – fake edit – did you get all six of them? Looking forward to seeing the last one turn up now!
I did, (and duplicates too), and number six is on my bench in his undercoat ;-)
