  1. I think this is a good idea

    Thanks. I reflect to when I first got into miniatures. I had models as a kid and micro machine but none of my friends played anything remotely like Malifaux. We usually played outside or video games when indoors. One day I passed by a game store and saw what I thought was tank models that turned out to be 40k rhinos. I walked in to take a look and asked a few questions then went home and found a whole world of gaming I had never seen before. The first time I heard about Malifaux was on a podcast and came to the website to get more information but I didn't really know what I needed. I had to que up the old podcast and listen again to get more answers.

  2. What I'm trying to point out is if a person who has never played a tabletop game before and was witness to a game or heard by word of mouth about Malifaux was to look up the website there is no real list of what is required to play. we know that we need a rulebook, deck of cards, tape measure, models, table, 2nd player. Some people need an easier navigation through the website to locate answers for their questions. I think the "Games" button at the top of the screen should maybe be called "New to Wyrd?" or "are you Wyrd?" in a bigger font that grabs attention and from there it takes a person off the street and into the world of Malifaux (a porthole maybe!)and describes the tools they will need and how they interact with the game and then navigate them to a local Henchman who can hook them and sink thier money into the company.

  3. I'm not a Henchman (application pending) yet but it would be nice to have a direct link to a summary of what a new player (never played tabletop miniature games before) has to purchase.

    example

    what you need;

    Rulebook link

    Expansion (optional) link

    cards link

    table space 2'x3'

    starter box link

    opponent Henchmen list and the location of the home stores

  4. Only criticism for the new batch of models is the doves. The wire really stands out, would recommend next time either buying some GW flying bases or using a thin clear plastic rod (you can usually find them at model train stores). Other then that you have done a good job representing the girls.

    I totally agree and what I'm looking in to right now is trying to pull off a magical effect to mask the wires. Kind of like they just materialized and flew up from the ground or swooped over a fence.

  5. cool - good idea - where did you get them from?

    just googled and I think it came up on amazon or something. I remember it took a week to find them. It was a private seller and half of them were broken because she thought that she could put them in an envelope with bubblewrap. I msg'd her about it but not to be worried because I knew how to use glue.

    AH here it is http://www.etsy.com/listing/52981863/set-of-4-miniature-vintage-70s-red-dove

  6. Wow!!

    Great job Matt.

    How'd you do the stockings? Gryphone Sepia wash?

    Also, what colors did you use for Collette's dress?

    Yep its badab black for the stockings. one coat with watered down coats to define the knees. I'm working on Cassandra right now. should have her up by tomorrow.

  7. Wow!!

    Great job Matt.

    Yes. it was a wash but it was devlan or badab but more than likely devlan. I'm sorry I dont remember correctly but it was a vallejo hot orange and a blood red with a red wash. I really should start writing down what I use.

  8. OK so if its a friendly model I can just choose not to resist therefore allowing me to successfully bury the model. so if its the opponents model then I could bury it before it activates? and it would then loose its activation for that turn?
