AllElf Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 So I am brand new to Malifaux but not modeling and table top gaming (Warmachine, Guild Ball, etc.) I picked up Von Schill box as my first crew and all the remaining Freikorps models. Steam Trunk has 33 parts and a real pesky model to build - especially the tank treads. I have searched on YouTube for a how to do video with no luck. Does anyone have a good link for me to watch or recommendations? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AllElf Posted March 1, 2017 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 Thanks guys! I'm good to go now. BTW, where are those model schematics originally published? I did not get them in my model box... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ray Posted March 3, 2017 Report Share Posted March 3, 2017 I often wonder why not just include the instructions into our boxes? I end up having to print it on my own when I'm working far from a computer or tablet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I end up having to print it on my own when I'm working far from a computer or tablet I believe the usual response is two fold: 1. It turns in to waste paper for those who don't need it. 2. The instructions that can be posted on-line can be better than the instructions that can be printed and included in the boxes without getting in to multiple folded sheets. with a side of: 3. It's traditional not to include instructions, dating back to the era of metal figures. The only Wyrd figures that include assembly instructions that I can think of is the Puppet Wars Unstitched box, and I think it's part of the demonstration why the other boxes don't have instructions in them. Puppet Wars has essentially a double sided folding poster with all of the instructions for the figures, and they're still below standard typical for model kits. Edit: Correction to the above: 'currently includes assembly instructions'. Edited March 3, 2017 by solkan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not entirely correct; most if not all the early plastics had instructions. It at least all that I bought around that time did... They stopped with it sometimes before Crossroa I think, and cost and convenience was most likely the biggest factor... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, corrected the post a bit. I've never seen one of the fabled printed instruction sheets outside of the Unstitched box. Does this mean that there are fabled rail worker assembly instructions to be found somewhere (like a sufficiently old Rail Crew box), or instructions in an Avatar of Amalgamation boxed set if I find one?

Probably. I bought both of those kits way back when, so if they came with instructions they should be about somewhere ;I tend not to throw away those kind of things. Trouble is, I haven't come across paper instructions in a few years, so I can't recall where I used to put them. :-/ The plan for the weekend is to tidy up my hobby room, and if I get around to it I guess I'll find them. No promises though, work has been rather hectic and I need to work through large parts of the weekend... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
