I think you will find all the information that's available about the new/forthcoming book here:

http://wyrd-games.net/forum/showthread.php?t=13828

Folks in the know are being pretty cagey about disclosing anything prior to the official release, so there may be some NDA (non-disclosure agreement) issues involved.

Nope, downloaded the latest products as per Goblyn13's advice, shut down and re-booted and I still get blank white pages when I try to look at V2 and a mish-mash of images when I try to look at V3. Any other ideas...?

I'm on a Macintosh as well and I'm still having the problem. I've been casting about for a free download of a higher Adobe Acrobat, but I haven't found one as yet.

Wait, GWAR had a game, let alone minis? Where can I get info on this?

Shows some pictures of the figures, too.

Here are a couple of the figures that I painted up to use as escaped Gladiators in a Broadsword Adventures game:

I'm going to try to stumble out that way tomorrow for a bit of watching and learning. What time do you fellahs get going?

Very nice! Let me join the chorus of approval for the mature Nephilim (not that the others aren't nice also). I'm interested to see what you're doing with Lilith.

Talking of GW terrain, I also like the GW plastic forest. The trees are appropriately gnarled and twisted and they have the advantage of being individually removable from their large plate-like base (to use as a Hanging Tree, etc.). Note that I don't bother with their silly flat foliage pieces, I think then look best with bare branches.

The Warhammer plastic buildings (Watch Tower, House, etc.) are also passable for Malifaux, although perhaps a little too medieval-looking.

Please pardon the threadomancy, but since I happened to be working on a Viktoria Swordmistress figure recently, I thought it might be helpful to post some WIP photos. Here is a long shot of the complete figure from the front:

Here is a closeup of both wrists from the front:

Here is a closeup of both wrists from the back:

Here is a closeup of her right wrist from the side:

Here is a closeup of her left wrist from the side:

In practice, I pinned both wrists and superglued them, then enhanced her wrist armor with a small amount of green stuff to strengthen the joints. As many folk do, I also anchored the hilts of her blades to her buttocks for extra support. The smudge of red on her right buttock in the photograph is superglue. (I introduce a coloring agent into my superglue to thicken it, and so I can see where it is going better). I also pinned her bundled swords to her back as well.

She is very difficult to assemble. The surface area for pins on her wrists and hands is maddeningly small. You'll note that I had to re-sculpt the palm of her right hand with green stuff because the pin broke through into the hand. When I attached her swords, my primary concern was that she appear to be holding her wrists at a natural angle. While I achieved this, it did result in her holding her swords in a rather asymmetrical manner. In a perfect world, I would re-master the figure as a single-piece casting, with her swords attached at the wrist and held symmetrically.

I was planning on making some winter-themed terrain for the Cult of December anyway, so I'm not unhappy keeping the AT-43 bases intact. The fire elemental is the wrong shape to straddle two 50mm bases, so he's out (still an interesting model, though).

I have seen some Ice Elemental figures on eBay with a fairly wide stance that might be able to straddle two bases, but I would be taking pot luck again on scale (Stupid move x3!).

For flame bases, I think I will try to go with Malebolgia's original suggestions. For Ice Pillars, I may try to monkey around with some quartz crystals (like some of the bases shown elsewhere here on the forum). GF9 seems like a simple solution, but they're a little too abstract for me.

Not your fault, I came to the erroneous conclusion all on my own...

I was browsing around through the Miniature Matters section, looking for inspiration on constructing some of the various counters needed for the game and I happened on this thread:

http://wyrd-games.net/forum/showthread.php?t=8517

Following the sage advice of Malebolgia, I decided to pick up a couple of clear resin Fire Elementals to use for Sonnia Criid's Wall of Flame spell. I decided that I wanted a more anthropomorphic representation than the large Fire Elementals shown in Malebolgia's post, so I picked up this huge Fire Elemental on eBay:

Unfortunately, when it arrived it was far too large for a 50mm base (lucky I only bought one...!)

At the same time, I wanted a representation of Rasputina's Ice Pillars spell, so I picked up these Elysian Crystals from the defunct Rackham AT-43 range:

Of course, when they arrived, they were also far too large:

I actually don't mind having the Elysian Crystal pieces, as they make nice Ice-themed terrain anyway...

Let this be a lesson to everyone: Check the scale on stuff before you buy it! :doh:

Very nice! I particularly like the Ice Golem and the Ice Gamins.

Foundry is always pricey. If you're in the US, you may be able to pick them up from the WarStore at a discount...

This new pack from Foundry might provide some interesting opportunities for conversions:

Pardon my stupididity (sic), but I'm having problems with the Malifaux chronicles links. Volume 1 is fine, but when I try to see volume 2, all I get is blank white pages and volume 3 shows dark grey text on a black background that is essentially unreadable (and no illustrations). I also have the same problem with the Holiday Scenarios link.

Have Volumes 2 & 3 been taken down for adjustment or am I somehow doing something wrong? Is there some way to adjust the image view on Volume 3 and the Holidays scenarios to get a black text on a white background?

Rock-solid painting and excellent terrain (and an amusing narrative for them, too!). Looking forward to seeing your Hans and your Witch Hunters.

Are those shacks from Antenociti? (Whoops, Pardulon - Just looked at your other Mining Town thread...:embarasse)

The easiest way would be to post them to a photobucket account (they're free) and then enter the image links in your post.

Last I heard was that all the original voice talent was back.

I'd like to see some faeries for the NB. (Eeeeevilll faeries!) Perhaps a more Malifaux-esque take on La Belle Dame Sans Merci for a master. With macabre versions of characters from Brother's Grimm fairy tales as minions.

Evil steampunk Faeries- I second that emotion! Excellent suggestion.

Can anyone take a minute to tell me what happened in the movies and such since the last season finale? I haven't kept up, unfortunately.

WARNING! Spoiler alert!

Bender's Big Score:

A race of alien scammers take over the earth by defrauding everyone on the planet. Fry is revealed to have the secret to time travel tattooed on his ass and a ridiculously convoluted time travel plot ensues.

The Beast With A Billion Backs:

Everyone in our universe becomes romantically involved with the sole denizen of a neighboring universe, a huge multi-tentacled entity named Yevo. Fry become the pope of a religion worshipping Yevo and eventually, all sentient life in our universe migrates to Yevo's dimension to be with him/her (leaving the robots behind). Bender misses Fry, so the robots invade Yevo's home dimension to bring Fry and the other sentients back.

Bender's Game:

The Planet Express crew become embroiled in a race with Mom for control of all the dark matter in the universe, winding up in an alternate dimension based on fantasy roleplaying games. In the end, the physics supporting dark matter's use as star ship fuel change, so new sources of energy must be found.

Into The Wild Green Yonder:

Leela becomes involved with a group of female environmental activists who oppose Leo Wong's plan to destroy a rare star as part of a cosmic miniature golf course, leading to a schism between the male and female members of the Planet Express family. In the end, Leela admits that she loves Fry and the crew blast off to adventure.

The Beast With A Billion Backs is far and away the best of the four direct-to-DVD movies (the others suffer disproportionately from the fact that they were made to be chopped up and shown as TV episodes).

While Leela finally admits that she returns Fry's love at the end of the 4th film, that's no guarantee that they will be considered a couple in the returning series.

Thanks, Gav. I'm familiar with Antenociti's science fiction range, I completely forgot that he does fantasy buildings too...!
