Hello and welcome to another update for the 3rd month of TOMB. If you have read my earlier posts you will know that I accepted a challenge put forth to the Malifaux community to paint $60 dollars of models in the first month, followed by $25 thereafter until you’ve bought all the Malifaux….or until your plastic habit required medical assistance….whichever comes first.
You may also know that I picked the Master of Puppets box set for Neverborn. On paper i’d not been impressed with the final 2 Neverborn masters to elude me (Collodi and Lucius) but I do like the Collodi models and everytime I think of him I sing Metallica’s Master of Puppets track…this is what’s known in the industry as win/win.
Having 9 models to paint in month 1 would be a challenge as my normal rate of painting is 1-2 models a month however I would give this my very best shot. Well, here I am on the 26th of the month and i’m spent. It’s been quite a tough challenge so far however having “broken the back” of it, i’m looking forward to painting just the 2 models next month…more on that to follow.
So, without further ado and no more gilding of the lily, here they are. I hope you like them and I’d welcome some feedback.

Collodi

Wicked Dolls
Marionettes
So, that’s me done for month 1. Okay, I have 5 days left to try and get the Brutal Effigy done. Maybe I will. Maybe i’ll roll him to next month which will then still only mean 2 models next month. My choice next month is Nekima who coming in at a whipping $25 means her and the effigy will bring me within $1 of my budgeted spend to date. In fact, I like that plan.
My next update is likely to be a battle report for Collodi at 35-40 stones against Zac again and let’s hope all this painting brings me a touch more fortune.
Until next time…..

Sweet painting. Do you plan to use that blue and purple colour scheme for everything in TOMB3? Or is it specific to Collodi’s themed miniatures? The basing looks lovely with them too.

Hello. Thanks for the thumbs up. I plan on using one or both of the colours throughout TOMB3, but then most of the models used are very Collodi themed. i’ve 4 effigies, i’ll pick up the Coryphee when available too and they will all benefit from having a spot of same colours. Nekima is slightly the odd one out but I think the purple, on her bikini set, will work anyway.
