1st Malifaux Battle report

On the modeling end of Malifaux, I havent really had time for much for except for assembling all 5 of my crews in anticipation of everyone showing at the demo. Only 3 out of five made it with only Fritz and myself getting to play. The picture of the cowboy in the Matrix pose is the only real conversion I have had an opportunity to do in my limited experience in Malifaux. Malifaux is character driven so each crew boss has a unique fig. In all honesty, I have not found a real reason to try and convert their figs. They are fine without my touch. Except for this Death Marshall here, he needed to be jumping off something high. The middle fig is Mortimer without his shovel. I cnat remember if I showed him last time or not!??

This is Fritz and I playing our first game of Malifaux

Estoy Furioso!!

Im curretly just finishing up some Angels Encarmine for Mags. Ive got the Death co troop Drop pod to finish this weekend and then its on to assembling some Malifaux crews. Im really excited about this because I have arranged for someone to run through and teach us some games of Malifaux down in Manhattan. Fritz, Ultrabob, Sgt Brisbane, The Unnamed, and myself will all be going to learn the rules and enjoy the day. Ive got to get all the crews built so we can play! Woo Hoo. We will see if it takes off. No one has been able to introduce a new game to the Battle for Salvation since it began. Aeronautica sputtered along with Fantasy. All to be forgotten when a new 40K codex came out. We will see, even though I dont really play there anymore.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Is there anyone out there crazy enough to think that these bases are anything short of amazing. The "character" that these base inserts exzude is exactly the reason I am going out of my way to play this game.

Well, until Malifaux happens, you are going to have be satisfied with some of the Dual Lash action that I promised. I take on a Dual Wing army. Deathwing with some ravenwing mixed in.

Ill be painting blood angels till I die ;)

My buddy Mags has commissioned another couple of squads for his Angels Encarmine army. Ive got several drop pods and a Furioso Dread on the way from Rob over @ http://www.spikeybits.com/ Until those get here I will have to work on 10 more Bone colored Sanguinary Guard thats the first part of the order and that I already have. Nothing really new that you havent seen, even though I got some plans for his Death co. drop pod. Itz'll be kool.

The figs that I have pictured here are from the Malifaux Game. http://www.wyrd-games.net/ Von Schill, Mortimer, Lady Justice, and Collette are just works in progress. Im wanting to get each of my 5 crew masters painted before I start playing. With the extra commissions that I have picked up lately, I havent been able to finish evrything I imagined.

Ruby Red Lips

Yes, I am this thrilled to not be painting power armour! I was hanging with my boys from the Sons of Thunder and they were obviously excited and into talking some 40K shop. When they were asking me what codex I thought would come out next, I think I said Malifaux. I cant help it. Im really into these figs, or maybe I am just happy to be doing something different. Let me put it this way, I dont have to pretend anymore that my wife makes me paint lip stick on my figs. No more explaining the fluff about my space marines with ruby red lips stained from their home planet's radiation. When I paint Colette, the showgirl at the bottom, I will paint lip stick free of judgemental eyes;) I can finally be me!!!!!!!!!!!!!

J/k by the way. My beginning crew in Malifaux will be:

Nicodem

Mortimer

2x The hanged

Hey guys, I know this is presumptous but please dont critique my crew choice just yet! I havent even seen a game played so I am just trying to get some crews painted so I can get the game going in my area. My model choices are based of what I wanted to paint! Either way, Im excited. Four models and Im ready to play a game! WOO HOO

The Undertaker!

***EDIT*** This is what I came up with! I need to work on the right arm and including some touches on the bird. The feet of the bird are driving me crazy, as the orange is just to bright for balance on the model. The pink is a bit much also. I would prefer a more fleshy/pinky color but it will have to do for now

Tomorrow I will spend the whole day painting and this is the guy that I will be focusing on! Gotta get em ready, glory awaits in the town of Malifaux.

Soulstones sound cool!

I have bought a starter crew from all 5 factions and you will all be seeing modeling progress soon! This is the big project I have refered to.
