Lilith Day Two
After the end of painting on Day Two, I got even more base coats completed. For her cloak, I chose the Reaper Master Series Rose Triad. I plan to allow this color to flow through the entire crew. While it is not necessarily a statement of “Pink for a Cure”, it is fitting and not completely out of line to say breast cancer has nothing to do with it. Breast cancer runs in my mother’s side of the family and most of my female relatives from that side are breast cancer survivors. But the color was not chosen for that specific reason, it is a reasonable benefit thereof.
Additionally, I have selected a Reaper Master Series Marine Triad to have a secondary color in the crew. This allows for easy recognition of multiple models of the same sculpt. It also hops up that feel of garish dress that is better fit for a stripper or seductress than your typical bad girl.
Let’s take a moment and discuss her lack of a top. It is a very minor conversion that I decided to do. I filed a bit and then used greenstuff to fill in the cracks from the top. Her looking topless fits her role of Mother of Monsters. She needs to look like a seductress and this allows that to happen very apparently.

Lilith Day One
After the first night of painting, Lilith wasn’t too attractive. I hadn’t decided what the paint scheme was going to be for her and her Brood, but I had settled on the notion that she would have very light skin. After several coats of the Reaper Master Series Fair skin base, I added a layer of Fair Shadow to get an idea of where the fleshtone was headed. Honestly, with how light the flesh tone is, I would have been better off priming her white or gray. No worries though. I will just add a few extra layers and all will be good.

I finally broke down and bought into Malifaux. Neverborn called my name I and heeded the siren’s call. Lilith and her demon spawn will be championing my fight. However, aside from a demo or two (or 5), I will not play this game with unpainted models. I bought in with the starter box and rewarded my breakdown of willpower with the Cherub. That evil looking bastard was just the thing that I needed to push me over the edge. Such a nice little model.
First thing I am doing is working on Lilith herself. For the mother of demons, she has way too many clothes. The division between her bosom and her bustier is out in the open enough to file down and fill with a bit of greenstuff. This should make it look like she is topless except for the chain that attach to the nipple area. I think that for such a naturally lascivious mother of demons, she should look more alluring to the common male urge.
Expect WIP images later on Lilith. I got her primed during the weekend.
