Mantastyle talked me into getting the Redchappel set. I'm pretty excited.

Good solid starter box, for sure. Welcome to the resurrectionists!

Pandora is a mean bitch, that's for sure. Just keep in mind that if you can get past that initial WP duel, she crumbles.

Sure, it's pretty easy. Star with a base coat of P3 Thrall Flesh. Then wash with devlan mud. Highlight/dry brush with P3 Jack bone, and was again with devlan mud. Simple as that.

Just to give people some ideas.

My "Lost Love" proxy for Kirai:

(glad I finally found a use for some of my old GW stuff, ha ha)

Very cool. All of your stuff looks awesome. Just curious, what colors did you use on Mcmournings apron?

Thanks man!

It's been awhile since I painted him, but I'm pretty sure it was a base of P3 'jack bone, with 2-3 coats of Devlan mud over the top. Then I just flicked on some Baal red for the blood spatters.

It was either that, or P3 beast hide with one coat of Devlan Mud, ha ha.

Just a few things I've been working on. The red chapel gang is on the painting table now.

You magnificent bastard....

I would have magnetized them though

Ooh, pretty! I had worried about the ratler being too big, but it actually looks ok. The exposed ribs are pretty sweet, and would look way rad with just a bit of ragged skin sculpted over the top. I assume that's what you're planning, but there you go.

I mostly do podcasts. I don't think there are any malifaux podcasts, but if you're into war machine there are plenty.

Other than that, can't go wrong with rocking the Ska beats. Good for the soul.

Edit: oh.... PLAYING malifaux. I thought this was music for painting malifaux. Well, on topic, I think having "theme songs" while playing is silly

I agree that almost every master wants their totem.

+++ on the body snatchers box needing canine remains. That's one of the worst crews right out of the box(neck and neck with the gremlins box) but two blisters of canine remains fixes that quite nicely.

For the record, I think all the ressurectionist boxes could use a handful of canine remains.

I just threw up in my mouth.

Duplicolor or rustolium makes a great primer.

Now he is lining up to get a sleeve done of a phoenix with a background.

A Phoenix tattoo? That's not cliche. Not at all.

Though war machine willmalways be my game, malifaux is such an excellent alternative when you're feeling burned out. Very different world, very different mechanics, fun and relatively quick games, etc. And thanks heavens for armies where fully painted is a reasonable goal...

I have managed to hold back on many things... including your avatar pic, your choice of handle and many things you post... and your mom's cooking.

Watch out boys! Things are getting saucy!

Was this really so hard to do>

lol

nice fig

I'm becomming a bigger fan every day of PP stuff

As you should. Warmachine is one of the best games out there with some of the sweetest miniatures out there. I highly recomend it.

Believe me my skin is thick and my feelings are definately not hurt, meerly pointing out that it is always easy to criticize when looking from the outside and after the fact.

Now that's an entirely different matter, and I agree with you entirely. But a word of caution derived from experience:

1) no matter how hard you try, you're going to miss stuff.

2) no matter how close you get to perfect you get, people are still going to bitch and and say you suck.

All I know is that if I was a play tester, I certainly wouldn't broadcast it

But for the record, I think you guys did a bang up job, for the most part. I think a lot of the fundamental imbalances from book one where patched up quite nicely.

Another 10 days and it will be October... its not a teaser if it doesnt occur BEFORE the event...

Is there anything you don't complain about?

Well, it's Monday, and the work day is just starting in their part of th U.S. Give the guys some time

A lot of thus game is about matchups. That's why you build your crew so late in the game process. If you're going to be a one master sort of guy, then you have to deal with tough match ups. That's just how it works.

You should be a bit more careful (and considerate) with criticisms against volunteer playtesters, a lot of us put a substantial amount of effort and time into the development and playtesting of the Rising Powers releases.

If you're going to be a playtester, you probably shouldn't let your feelings get hurt so easily.

how do you get rogue necromancy

.....

What do you mean? You can either summon him with monstrous creation or pay his soulstone cost.

OK... +1 for WarMachine proxys.

Here are some I thought of when this was suggested, even though I do not have the book, I will allow those that do to pass judgement based upon the concept art/rules.

Cygnar - Solo - Squire:

Khador - Warcasters - Old With of Khador and Scrapjack:

Mercenaries - Warcaster - Gorten Grundback (Battlegroup, 3 smaller jacks):

Alternatively, if you do not wish to invest heavily into WM, the Grundback Mercs also have 2 packs of Gunners and Blasters:

The Cygnar Squire is my pick based upon looks and would sit well with Ramos' spiders. The Scrapjack is very steampunk (boiler and chimney floos).

The others are also suitable size, however, Im unsure on the concept art.

Enjoy!

Just FYI, the squire is the only one of those models that is on a 30mm base. Everything else is on 40mm.

This explains alot. Thanks.

Im still a bit iffy on the expansion so soon after the Core Rules... some new players are still learning and now will need to double their intake, which is a bit excessive for newbies, considering getting your head around the activation and game system is enough in itself.

1 year is plenty of time for an expansion. That's how PP does it, and it works great. Besides, there were some balance issues that needed to be addressed, and the new book did that wonderfully. And people need new toys, or they get bored.

There are ALWAYS going to be new players coming in. You can't put of an expansion just for new players.
