  1. I like the pose of the second one, but really...did the miniature world really need ANOTHER practically naked woman?
  2. Thanks. I'll stick to sculpting for now. I'm actually enjoying it.
  3. Yeah I like those guns too but I really don't need the hats. Is it just me, or is there a distinct reluctance to modify or sculpt anything in malifaux? I see crews that are either straight from the box with some cluttered bases or proxies from completely different companies. Coming from a Warhammer r where everything is customizable, kitbashed, or sculpted im little disappointed that a game that the thrives off the character of each individual model has a community that tries so very little to craft each piece with at least some personal touches. I'm not saying everyone should do it..but I can barely find anything.
  4. I am sculpting some models for a freikorps crew and I wanted to get some of malifaux weapons for them. I also wanted to base them on the clear plastic bases. Can anyone link or post pics of crew using either of these things...I want to see how the blend in with models and terrain. For instance is the modern weapon sprue too modern for the Victorian atmosphere or are the transparent bases hard to see on a playing board?
  5. First, what is the chance that any of these masters will be sold outside of their crew boxes? Love McCabe, hate his crew....not miniature wise, but rules wise I would almost never use any but Luna. Second, given that I doubt the answer to the above is yes, what is the normal reaction to converting one model to a clearly different, both in tournament setting and pick up games? For example, could I take a Wastrel and convert to some kind of guardsman, rifleman, austringer or the like? Or even some other guild or 10T model if you have some suggestions. I just.....do not want Wastrels....
  6. Yeah...I know killing isn't that important, I'm just worried he will blow away my crew before I Hava chance to complete my schemes and strategies. However, I cannot argue with gorgeous models. McCabe it is!
  7. Yeah, see. The whole three activation thing, I have never heard of and it sounds cool. I read about izamu being a beast with him, but does that meanmccabe can be good in a lower model count crew. Finally, my main opponent may go gremlin...how often can I expect to lose to LA Croix, starter box vs starter box?
  8. Hello all, I have been considering dipping my toes into the Malifaux water. I have been reading about masters, crews, starting threads, and the rulebook. I have learned that in this balanced game, I should pick what looks good to me and I think Ill have fun playing. This leads me to many masters, but I think I have narrowed it down to two: Lucas McCabe or Von Schill. Lucas McCabe rides a horse. Sure he has a net gun and a whip and can hand out gear. Being mobile seems fun, but his model has to be my favourite master miniature. On top of that, it would be really cool to add the Pale Rider or Lone Marshal to the mix cause they also ride horses. The guild has some definite miniatures I can get behind. The problem is that McCabe doesn't look like a very strong master. Maybe there is something I don't understand about him, but he seems to lack any real punch and doesn't seem to have enough buffs in my opinion. Nor does putting him with the guild riders seem to make his crew any better. So I love the models, but I don't know about his playstyle. It might be worth noting I like a lot of ten thunder models as well....but they aren't on horses. Von Schill, the supposed answer to everything. I like the playstyle of an adaptable military type unit that has a giant mechanical member of its team. I like that Von Schill and his team seem tough and support each other. And I like Lazarus...or at least the idea of Lazarus. But I do not like the models. I do not like von schills face, I do not like the librarian, and I really do not like the miniature of Lazarus. It just seems that, and I may have this wrong, but Von Schill buffs his team, has a team that can hand out conditions, and has good upgrades, much like McCabe....only Schill does it better. So I guess I want to ask, what are the differences in playstyle between the two and what am I missing with Mccabes rules? The only write ups Ive seen for McCabe are by people who are just trying him out cause they can while they swear by any other master as their main. Any specific information and resources on McCabe or Von schill would be nice. And please remember I have next to no experience and these are all my opinions based on first impressions.
