  1. Basically my goal is to have a number of authors posting stuff about what they're doing/painting, tactics articles, things like that for whatever game interests them. There is no commitment to an article a week or anything like that. It's purely on a volunteer basis. But something a month would be nice as a minimum.
  2. Hey guys, I'm looking for those who would like to blog on a semi-consistent basis. Painting tips, wips, tactics, battle reports, etc... If you're interested, PM me or reply below. My site is www.paintyominis.com Thanks.
  3. Client is going to base her. I'll have to get better lighting as without the flash, you wouldn't see anything. Thanks for C&C everyone.
  4. LOL. Yes. These are pics I took just before sealing the mini to prevent chipping.
  5. Unfortunately I don't have a macro lens for my camera and the lighting was sub-optimal, but there is shading to the dress. It just got washed out from the flash. She's not so photogenic.
  6. Spray effect was really simple, I mixed some red ink with brown ink at a roughly 1:1 ratio. Loaded up an old brush and simply flicked it on using my finger. Then I watered down some blood red and did the same thing. I wished I had thought about dirtying the dress up beforehand. She's already been varnished and being given to the client in a later tonight.
  7. This was a commission I did for one of my friends who plays here locally. He wanted something bloody and cool so I thought a white brides dress would be the perfect backdrop for her murderous tendencies. I guess the lesson here is to (1) choose your bride wisely and (2) don't try to back out of the marriage at the last minute. C&C welcome.
  8. too bad you didn't make any casts of those. I'd definitely buy 'em!
  9. Ghool, I've seen a lot of your work over the past year or so and while I think for the most part you do an excellent job, I have to say that you've really done an outstanding job on Skarre here. I completely love the color choice you used. She looks beautiful! And that face. wowowowowwwia baby! Good luck at L&L!
  10. Well it certainly didn't help that I had the Slaughter scheme... I was playing Ramos. Took Joss, the convict, toolbot, a swarm and 2 single spiders turning it into a swarm on my 1st turn. So no Ryle to save my a$$. Plus, I was also at a negative flip for everything I was trying to do when near his crew. Making it nearly impossible to hit things or defend against his attacks. Hamelin having +++ on the hit and damage flips and 1-shotting Joss didn't improve my mood in the game either... I dunno, been playing Malifaux for over a year and I've always had fun (even in tournaments). I don't mind facing a tough crew but this game was really annoying and frustrating. I'll definitely give it another shot if my friend will allow it since he really didn't enjoy the game and doesn't want to play Hamelin anymore. BTW - thanks for the tips. I'm going to make a list of terrifying things Ramos can take as well as some reliable shooting things.
  11. For painting my spiders, I just primed them black. Painted a coat of Boltgun Metal, then a wash of devlan mud and light a quick drybrush of boltgun and you'll get a good tabletop effect.
  12. HOLY COW Ratty!!!! That is awesome! Way cooler than what I did. @Wozzle: I'll try and get you some pics this week. I'm busy with putting together a Mega Chompy bits right now and I haven't finished my spiders yet... But will try and do it all this week. Really shouldn't take me too long.
  13. So I played my first game against Hamlin the Plagued and I have to say that he is stupid. He really takes away the fun of playing Malifaux. Even my buddy playing him was hating the stupidity and didn't have fun. Between rats being summoned when ANYTHING dies (how is a rat summoned from a mechanical spider?), The catchers summoning more rats, Nix having a ton of free (0) actions, The stolen making my guys insignificant thereby stopping them from attacking Hamlin.. A near infinite loop of activations with the rats... Blight counters out the wazoo.. I'm sorry, but Hamlin is just dumb. Love his background story, but he is way too ridiculous. How on earth are you supposed to beat him? It's rules breaking abilities and silly rules like his that take away the enjoyment of the game.
  14. You're correct in assuming that identical abilities, powers, spells, etc... do NOT stack. Since the rats are already slow by nature, when summoned, they have one (1) action they can do. Essentially, you can activate a swarm of rats, do their thing, get them killed/sac 'em and then pop out more rats that can then activate ad nauseum. It's pretty stupid actually. I guess the trick is to kill Nix, the catchers and the stolen as quickly as possible and then go for Hamlin. Or do your best to ignore them all and go for your objectives. Either way, I think Hamlin needs a huge Cuddling. He is not fun to play against.
