Mister Feral

Not sure how that relates to my question? ?

I see what you mean, very informative!

I am in no way a competitive player, but from my couple previous Molly games I clearly had no idea what I was doing - hence going back to the drawing board to work out some form of synergy!

If I removed the Drowned from the initial list and summoned them instead (if a Jaakuna tarpit could be pulled off), what would you replace them with?

Here's a list of models I have;

Philip and the Nanny
Toshiro
3 Ashigaru
3 Rotten Belles
2 Dead Doxies
3 Crooligans
3 Necropunks
3 Drowned
3 Punk Zombies

I was also interested in some of the shooty Outcast mercs (Sue / Convict Gunslingers). Could one of those fill in the gap left by the Drowned?

In a pinch, Molly with Forgotten Path could use a 0 action to make Jaakuna move if needed?

I also figured if Jaakuna and Drowned could bunch up a couple enemies close to them, it would be a lot easier for Molly to summon in as well!

I would quite to use Jaakuna and several Drowned as a basis for a [casual] Spirit Molly crew - would this be a feasible idea? I'm quite keen on the "drowned" theme that they both have.

As far as I figured, Jaakume / Drowned synergise well together as a "tarpit", where I could also use Rotten Belles or Dead Doxies set up behind them to pull enemies into  Jaakuna's hazardous terrain ability. The Drowned could then use Riptide or Drag Under to pull enemies towards Jaakuna as well.

Any thoughts? Would this be a feasible play style at all?

Bishop looks like an angry biker! 

I really like the checkered scarf, that's a nice addition.

I'm back!

Its been a while but I'll keep things brief.

In the end I chose Molly as my Master and I've played around half a dozen games since last year. Due to me buying up Minions I liked before picking a Master, my crew compositions have suffered and so has my gaming!

To fix this I've expanded my choices with some more appropriate Minions for her; Belles!

Switched back to Green Stuff for these bases, basically copied a pic I saw in these forums (must find and thank the original post!). I've got some Drowned assembled already and I'm also hoping to pick up Sue - for some added Mercenary firepower. I also need to order some blank bases to revamp some older models as well.

Lots to do!

Wings are really nice, good solid red there!

Main suggestion would be to add some more subtle highlights on the skin; top of thighs, collar bones, fingers etc.

The base insert is neat, might try something like that for my Drowned.

This is super useful advice for me!

I had been trying Molly with Crooligans, Necropunks and Punk Zombies, but I have been losing pretty badly.

I'm going to give Drowned, Rotten Belles and Dead Doxies a go, as well as try and pull off summoning more!

Forgotten Marshall, anyone tried him with Molly or other slow Resser crews?

The art and description for Archie sound great, especially since he was created for Molly (my current choice of Master)!

Bases are looking great.

Sluggaz is also the gaming club I attend, fancy that! There's a good Malifaux crowd there.

Very nice, smooth as has been said above me.

If you were lookin for suggestions, did you do the rest of the Jakob crew?

That's fair enough, I can see the photos and zoom in on them perfectly  fine myself.

It might just be me who likes to post close-ups to help spot any sloppy paint blends and the such!

Less about my preferences though, what's next for you to paint? :)

Good work!

Only real suggestion I have is to crop the empty space around the models out of the pictures, so it emphasises the miniatures as the focus.

The purple tones of the Doppelgänger's exposed flesh is nice.

Raethford for sure from the scenario in Book 2.

If his rules were rewritten / toned down for standard play, he'd make a great duel Arcanist / Outcast master.

Keep the loner rule to restrict crew to just Frozen Heart models and Mercs.

If played as an Arcanist, he could have a 2ss upgrade to allow summoning of Ice Gamin (although harder to do than it is now).

If he is taken as an Outcast, I would suggest a 1ss upgrade to allow up to 4 out-of-faction Frozen Heart models to be taken.

That's a great proxy for a Flesh Construct!

I thought it sounded appropriate!

What are you working on next, more Arcanists?

Well that's just top notch work on Rasputina, your patience has been rewarded well!

The subtle blood effects really finish her off - I don't know her background but I'm getting subtle hints at cannibalism (that might just be Fallout on the brain though!).

Those colours are lovely and smooth, I love the orange in particular!

I will say though about the joints not filled in, but otherwise superb!

I meant as he has a 6+ soulstone cost, Toshiro can be used for the purpose of the Hollow Waif's Eternal Shackles ability.

Toshiro loses some of his usefulness in a Leveticus crew, not being able to summon and Feudal Ties being redundant when you have to take Pariah of Bone to hire him and Punk Zombies anyway!

Still, I'd like to try him in the crew - he'd work well as an anchor for Hollow Waifs right?

Aside from a very subtle red glazing for the flesh, can't think of any other real way to improve it.

This might be one of those cases where it is best to finish up the miniature and move on to something new.

Thanks for this, an excellent crew building resource!

That's lovely! The folds of the dress and the sword are blended nicely.

Only suggestion I have is a a green glaze or two to blend together the wooden planks and the moss.

Thanks!

I have some Necropunks ready to prime and get to the same painting stage as the others shown - whilst the skin colour scheme is still "fresh" in my mind. Ironic, them being dead and all! Terrible pun is terrible.

Thinking ahead, I keep seeing great Undead and Construct models I want to get (Flesh Construct, Yin, Teddy etc.) but I know the Leveticus crew box should be next on the purchase list.

I am down to start with a demo game or two next week at a new local club, so I'm really excited for that. I haven't properly played anything in years!
