Mistress Death #044

Alrighty! Another weekdown, only 2 to go until this semester is over! So it's taken me a little while to get into painting with the semester wrapping up, but I was able to pull a Mistress Death from a Double sealed tournament from the NML event. I didn't win the Killer Croc LE :( but there will be other chances! Mistress Death is awesome for a range support piece. She's not meant to move around at all and just blast people from down the field, so I was pretty stoked. Her and Madam Web are going to be awesome side by side on my "Chairs" Team.

Once again here's the Original picture of Mistress Death and then i'll post my remake with a little blurb about my painting process on this fig :)

I'm not quite sure why the HeroClix are so terribly painted. Maybe since the game has really taken off this last couple of years, they are required to crank out as many as they can at as cheap as they can.

So here's my finished mini, I wasn't too entertained with painting her since the entire fig is mostly bone. Still a cool piece to own.

So for this fig I stripped the paint off the mini with my acentone from Walmart. It took a little while, the paint was really caked on. After the model was dry, I sprayed the model with chaos black primer. When finished, I drybrushed xv88 onto all the bone surfaces. I wanted the bone to look rotten instead of bleached. After, I painted the stone her chair is on, abaddon black. Then drybrushed the entire model codex gray, and continued to lighten up the drybrushing with wicker white from folkart, ceramite white then finally white scar. When dry I washed all of the bone pieces with Gryphonne Sepia, then the recesses and inside the teath, skull eyes and various random spots with Devlan Mud. For Mistress Death, I painted her solid black and built up a light warlock purple highlight. Washed her with Badab Black and Walah! I'm stoked to play this piece in a tournament, need to play her with Terrax and really wreak havoc. I'm hoping I can get more painting done a little faster and post a little more often. Until next time!
