Malifaux Gang Painted, and some treasures from the Closet of Doom

Real Life(tm) has been kicking my butt recently and I've not had much hobby time to spare unfortunately. That said, over the last week and a half I have managed to squeeze in a few early morning paint sessions and finished up a few of the Malifaux minis I'd won at Feast of Blades last year.

Interesting models, and I had fun painting them up. Went with a very limited palette, lots of browns and greys, and the eerie green flame motif. Rather enjoyable!

  

In other news, it's tax season again, and as usual Uncle Sam is trying to pick my pocket, so I've rummaged around in the Closet of Doom for a few odds and bobs that I put up on ebay recently (a few examples pictures above). I'm also working on saving up some extra cash for a trip to Italy later in the year, so there's going to be more to come as I work to clear out some of the drifting piles of plastic and resin crack that have accumulated over the years!

Masque of the Dance Without End - Or, don't you have too many projects already?

The upcoming release of the new Harlequins has me rather excited - they look like they'll be a blast to paint! Got a couple Troupe boxes on order along with the new Solitaire and have been poring through the old compendium for inspiration. That led me to an old pic, suitably demotivatored:

...It's not crazy to consider spending $130 on a Proteus Land Raider for a joke paint scheme, right? Hah!

In other news, I've finished off all of the Thousand Sons I'm planning on taking to the Las Vegas Open coming up in a few weeks, and following the work on the Shadowsword recently I was a little burned out on painting crimson and gold. As a quick palate cleanser (or should I say palette cleanser, har!), I'm taking a run at a few Malifaux minis I'd picked up at Feast of Blades last year. ...Heresy for sure!

Still a ways to go with 'em of course, but I'm pretty happy with them so far!
