Malifaux, Shadows of Redchapel, Seamus, Copycat Killer

Introduction

I didn't know how I wanted to paint this guy at the start there were too many hats his details were small and the bag looked odd.

As I do almost every I get stuck like that taking the painting step by step tends to be a successful strategy. I blocked in my colours and took it step by step.

Basing

As part of basing these models I really wanted to have some tombstones, I honestly wanted to buy some, but my local store was out and I had a nice tube of plumbers putty. I ended up rolling out a flat sheet, and using pastry cutters to outline some flat tombstone shapes and when they dried I scratched them to give them a warn look, If I had longer before it set I would have carved more into the stones. I then used wall filler to create a dirt mound for placement.

Conclusion

I made something that I think quite nicely represents what is intended with the model hes a psycho leprechaun and that's what I made him, using some different colours from the normal somber look of Malifaux miniatures creates focal points in this case the purple bow.
