Great job on the pig-a-pult.

Look, look its a double wide trailer.

Seconded, would love to see Sybelle by herself. I am interested in what you did with her, from what I can tell she almost looks like a respectable old girl.

Also the mud on the dress bottoms are an awesome idea. I'll have to replicate that on my Belles when I get around to them.

Thankyou very much. Very nice models. Especially like Lord Chompy Bits busting out of the floor boards.

I think you have a problem with the formatting of your post, can you try adding a return after each image so it doesn't display horizontally. Thanks much.

Just wanted to share a few crews that I recently finished.

My sons Cult of December.

My daughters Lady Justice crew.

I painted them for them so they could play Malifaux with me, now I justhave to get the wife to finish her Ortega crew.

From what I have seen most people have been building their own. The stuffed piglet though has a very good proxie sitting next to Pere Ravage (It will be expensive to field a bunch though).

More lovely gremlins for the cause. God job on capturing the dark and grimy look of the outlaw lacroixs. Your skin color is wonderful.

Yep. That need to keep out of enemy melee reach is the tough part.

I still use it from range anyway, though, since it can still crank out a lot of damage.

This is a perfect reason to take Ophelia with the gremlin gunline, her auto squeel ability is pure win with Y'all watch this.

Morning all!

I'm going to chance my arm and see if anyone's happy to talk me through the main weaknesses in the two Gremlin line-ups?

I've never player against either Sommer or Ophelia before and have Jo's tourny this weekend with about a million Gremlin crews listed so would appreciate some pointers if possible.

Looking at the threads I'm expecting a couple of things, skeeter spam to reduce my cards, gremlin spam based on sheer weight of numbers (both somer player strategies) and alpha striking gun line from ophelia - is that right? Is there anything else I should be looking out for? Also, is the best approach going straight after the masters in both lists as quickly as possible?

I know it's a bit unorthodox to ask, but hopefully someone will let me know what I'm in for!

You covered most of the bases, however you will also need to be prepared for the pig boomerang. It will be telegraphed, however it is still a viable tactic.

Be very wary of Ophelia running a gremlin gunline, you'd be amazed how much damage that can generate.

My god you are going to be busy with all that. Hope you paint fast.

Another fine piece, you keep this up and you are probably going to find your self kidnapped by the Wyrd crew.

Since you have so many Gremlins anyway, try running Ophelia with the Gremlin gun line. You'd be surprised how much damage they can ouput when focusing fire on one target at a time. Also if you use "Like hearding squirrels" they can be very diffucult to engage in melee. I ran it quite a bit successfully.

Perhaps you can get a Necromunda close combat weapons sprue. GW used to have them for order on the specialist games portion of their site. It had all manner of big manly handguns on it.

I would say go with the Gremlins. They are usually considered an underdog crew (as you hear above) but can be very competitive once you learn them. A Som'er crew (investment) will be larger then most due to the differences in play style that comes from utilizing his different strategies. The Lacroix's are also a great choice as they are a bit more straight forward. Best thing is if you like them they can also be included with a Som'er crew.

Nice job, maybe Wyrd will come out with a Piano Man model.

Most of the good stuff is in here already you just need to wade through it. There are a few more mentioned alse where, try searching for alpha stank, skeeter stank, pig boomerang, gremlin gunline. There really hasn't been a whole lot of change for Som'er.

How the hell did it take so long to mention terragenesis? Cant believe I forgot that site, I absolutely love it.

Absolutely lovely, the gremlin family is packing up the mobile home and moving on up.

We're you the gremlin player I played the 1st round at the Pandy tourney?

So hard to keep IRL and forum handles straight.

That would have been me alright.

Dark Knight, If you are looking to learn Colette Nerdelemental is probably one of the best to ask. In truth though most of the Tuesday Night crew at RIW are really knowledgable about Malifaux. For me they have always been extreamly friendly and entertained a lot of questions (from me and the neighbor kid I brought with me a few times). I enjoyed playing with and against all of them. Definately miss the crew since moving to the Big Easy.

I cant speak for MAOW as a whole but I've met Paradox a few times, and he was always kosher (even during a tourney at Pandy). I would recommend giving the place a look for yourself.

Oh and I gotta say Pam is awesome, her customer service is outstanding. I travel a lot around the country and I have to say RIW is in the top three of stores I have visited.

I've actually had a great deal of success with the Latest GW "How to build terrain" book

if you can find it on the cheap (it usually MSRP's for $29.99) it's totally worth having!

The GW Lustria book also had a great section on jungle terrain, especially the bamboo grove. Because its from the last addition you should be able to get it cheap.

I mentioned those earlier in my post.

Model railroaders produce some great terrain books that aren't that expensive. I would recommend working in "O" scale as it is the easiest to scratch build (a 1/4" = 1' in game). I'll second what Jmp_mydog recommended, White Wash City does give a good start. Instead of Foamcore, though I recommend Matte board. Another site I use for inspiration is Better Then Scratch, they provide scale dimensions for everything they sell and some great pictures as well. And of course if you have the money, they produce some great kits.

If the U.S Mint is listening, Nickels and Pennies are urban code for steel and copper Washers available at the local DIY store.
