So you sat us in a business meeting, showed us pie charts and bar graphs of things going on in the industry and then went into the psychology about the "democracy" that supposedly happens with the communication. I agree completely with how Schism 93 puts it here.

Thirdly there is no way on earth a company and it's customers are comparable to a democracy, thankfully. The game is the company's, not the players'. In a perfect world, a passion driven hobby where a company listens it will become a symbiotic relationship, if it doesn't listen the company can become a parasitic drain on resources (time and money) that each customer will decide their own breaking point. I am not saying Wyrd is either of these. But the longer they run for (and bigger they get) the more companies in niche markets tend toward the latter, combined with families, life and such forth mean a constant renewal of new blood is essential for existence let alone growth. People will leave, some will quietly, some noisily, neither way is intrinsically right or wrong.

This community is definitely a good one compared to many many out there, but arguing with the internet and feeding trolls is sadly part of modern internet life, but it can easily be avoided and people may cry that Eric and Nathan aren't listening but we all know that's a load of garbage. I have lurked around these forums since the very early days of Malifaux and it's very easy to see how hard Nathan and Eric pour their blood, sweat and tears into Wyrd and even come to the conclusion that they are masochists for the insane amount of work they create for themselves before/during/after Gencon time.

It was a rollercoaster of a post Panda, I liked how it ended on a nice sentiment hehe. Was a decent, although confusing read to kill time here at work.

Welcome to Malifaux! Holy cow 2 weeks and 2 fully painted crews...puts me to shame.

Awesome thread, if I may add a question of my own.

Can I take Hoffman and Ramos in a Brawl as my 2 Masters?

:clap: Holy cow that is amazing! The paint job and the modelling, oh my!

Amazing work, the muted color scheme is so well done. :bigthumb:

Keep up the great work and keep us updated please!

Love the playful Ice Gamin poses, really adds a lot of character.

Great work so far, your writing really pulled me into the story. Really looking forward to more.

They came out really nice. I'm a slow painter as well, for 1.5 hours per model that is awesome.

Have you hit them with a coat of matte of dull varnish? That will tone down the gloss that you mentioned.

Also welcome to the forums! Sick 1st post hehe

I have been listening to podcasts with puppet overlord Eric J eagerly listening for more little tidbits of awesome that will be at Gencon. Here are the podcasts I've found so far:

Aethervox http://theaethervox.com/

Gamers Lounge http://gamerslounge.coda.net/?p=454

D6 Generation http://www.thed6generation.com/d6g_ep_61_malifaux_book_2_interview_and_starcraft_chat

The D6 Generation is a bit old, I feel like I'm missing a podcast. If anyone can help feed my addiction for more Gencon goodies straight from Eric J please help!

I had my eye on Malifaux almost since the beginning but didn't really jump in until I heard about Dreamer, then the teaser rules/pics went out for him and LCB and I promptly tampered with the image and made the most out of the cropped space.

Nice battle report, the video quality was awesome. The Adobe Premier stuff at the beginning was cool.

Also great 1st post Addiction, welcome to the forums! :welcome:

Great paint jobs! What I like the most is your Browns seem very rich. Must be that Domo-kun avatar of yours powering the Browns.

I'm going to bump this thread because these are questions I'm dying to know the answers to.

Machamp and the cap and backpack, you took that Pokemon idea and executed it so well!

LCB as Machamp, complete genius.

Also gotta agree with Deadpool, your sig is insanely huge AvatarForm.

Haha great job covering up that old hag! Holy cow for 3 days those paint jobs look fantastic.

Zoraida's dress(?), the greens on the Silurids and the slimey swamp look of Bad Juju are the points I like the most.

Excellent concept, even better execution! Can we expect more? :spider:

Love the dinosaur idea, maybe you should make a custom Dino Teddy

Also holy crap, I think your cat is Ht 13!

Dang, your fiance did a great job.

One suggestion though, looks like Dreamer's skin could use a coat of wash or something at least.

For gameplay purposes I'm most looking forward to Dreamer's supporting cast, focusing on Coppelius and Alps, just the way they play is freakin amazing.

Next I would be interested in the M&SU models. Love the destructive force of Kaeris.

For visual purposes I'm most interested in the Riders (Dead, Mechanical, etc.), Ashes and Dust because like everyone has mentioned I'm also very interested to see how they pull it off.

I'm thinking more along these lines. Or perhaps...

Hmm...I may get to work gluing a Dreamer on my shoulder...

:focus:

Just more T-shirts with that wonderful Malifaux art and I'm sold. Faction colored, black, I don't really care.

"Great Scott" Geckilian! Can you ask Doc if I can borrow his Flux Capacitor so I can finish my time machine and go forward in time to when I have my Dreamer/LCB crew finished?

Haha in all seriousness, great conversion work and painting!

:party:

LCB, Purple Fate Deck, Expansion rule book! Burnt a nice hole in my wallet there hehe.

I'll cheer you on the waiting of the Colette box set Svenn!

My shopping cart is ready to checkout, all I'm missing is the new Rulebook expansion: Rising Powers...can't find it!

Hockey has always been my favorite sport. Played roller hockey in various leagues for 7 years growing up.

Unfortunately I don't keep up with the sport. I'm a Kings fan by default. Being in southern California I have much love for the great Wayne Gretzky and he has done so much for SoCal by putting up Hockey rinks and such.

I think I'll be waiting a while for my Kings but at least I have my Lakers.
