Turelio

Sorry to hear you're leaving. You've contributed a lot to Malifaux, both in the game and the community. Best wishes for your future endeavours! Congratulations to Aaron as well!

The reporter at the back is familiar. I believe that she was in the TTB adventure Northern Agression? Can't get to it now to check if that's the adventure or her name, but that one was set in Ridley, which is where Nellie's character has been involved before.

Just a note that I won't be in tonight. Having some back issues so won't be able to make it in.

Demo nights are on again. This Wednesday (20/7) from 6.30pm, and next Wednesday (27/7) from 7.30pm.

Malifaux demos are available this Wednesday and next Wednesday! If you are looking to play a game, or learn how the game works, come on in and try it out! I'll be there from around 6.30pm this Wednesday night, and from around 7.30pm next Wednesday, and will have everything with me to teach the game.

First thought was... "His trigger. Is that a Pokemon reference?" Will be interesting to see him in action. I'm keen to try him just for insignificant to see what that does to the way I usually use a master.

Malifaux night is back on Wednesday nights! I've been away for a bit due to the need for healing flips, but will be in from 6.30pm, and will be able to run demos for anyone looking to learn.

I found it similar, actually. When I put the set together I actually felt it was a challenge on a few pieces, but not frustratingly challenging. And the models look great, so I definitely think there is worthwhile payoff for them. I did think when attaching Lust's violin that it was a set I would happily build again, knowing that it presented a really nice balance of work to reward.

More photos, this time of the Tots. I wanted to do photos of Teddy, but apparently I didn't take photos of him yet CMON - http://www.coolminiornot.com/397330?browseid=14935404 CMON - http://www.coolminiornot.com/397331?browseid=14935404 CMON - http://www.coolminiornot.com/397332?browseid=14935404

Everything I say below is from my experience. Other people's experiences may vary... I started with GW about 20 years ago. Good paints. I've found that each time they rerelease or overhaul the range, they do something I like and something I don't like. I loved the addition of foundations and washes originally, and their dry paints are an interesting development which I have found a few uses for. My current view on them is that I like a few of the core (base and layer) paint colours, but have found they are easier to use through an airbrush than actually painting, where they feel like glue in some cases, and have trouble covering. Vallejo has a lot of different colour choices, and the paint quality is better IMO. I've found that if you want flesh tones they exist in the range, but usually are hidden under non-flesh names. You need to shake the paint well to get it to mix, and a new bottle may have a small amount of clear binder still in the nozzle when first used. I have also found that they chip/rub off minis as well, but if you are aware of this issue and are careful, its avoidable. P3 are similar to older GW in some ways, and I mean that in a good way. I haven't had issues with them wearing off, and they have some interesting/useful colours in the range. I have found that some colours don't cover well, and need a few layers more than other paints to fix that issue. They also take longer to dry when thinner, but again, that might not affect you. Reaper I have been using maybe a year and a half now. I really like them. They dry matte, the triad system takes guess work out of colour schemes, and they suit my painting style. Large range of colours as well. Maybe lacking some things like a large range of washes like some other ranges have, but I can supplement in. I've found they react well to being mixed with other brands as well, and their pure black colour is my favourite black available. If you like washes, check out Secret Weapon as well. A nice range of colours, easy to use for blending as well. Maybe a bit shiny for my taste, but adding a bit of matte medium fixes that in my experience. Currently I'm favouring Reaper, with some supplementing from Vallejo/P3 based on painting technique used and colours wanted for my core paints. I'm using a lot of GW's washes and dry paints but very few of their core range, and moving more towards Secret Weapon washes to replace GW washes.

Wednesday I'll be in again, but due to shifts at work it will be just after 7.30pm.
