Malifaux, Shadows of Redchapel, Seamus

 

Introduction

Well here we are the last model of the box, I really wanted something specific for this guy. I feel like I have better control over my airbrush so instead of brushing I would try and lay down some blocks with it and then try to create contrast with dry brushing and inking.

Basing

As part of basing this model 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 really enjoy this guy. He looks creepy with a distinct Irish caricature.
