The Madman

HAHAHAHAHAHAA You all have such a great sense of humor!

I would suggest looking through the Chronoscope line from reaper and even the Black Scorpion line they have some cool western themed figs it's likely you'll find what you're looking for

according to the fluff- maybe not (I don't have my book in front of me) the first opening was in the late1700's and then again 100 years later... in the late 1800's the events of the first opening would have changed our known time line and created diffrent issues- for us Americans, a diffrent foccus other than the rights of states to trade openly with other countriesimport slaves and the civil rights of all American people to be free could be a completly moot point not to completly digress and hijack, but with the exception of Marcus, there seems to be no other characters of "color"

I like it too

Jona Hex used for Mercenary for hire or Gunsmith proxy

On that note: a Pinkerton Dective type squad would be cool... would even tie into the Railroad Baron theme Pinkerton could be the Henchmen/Special forces unit while the RR unit would have the Master

I think this is as good a choice as any- I've always made it a point not to spend more for a proxy than actual cost of the WYRD mini but the Anima tactics minis are so well sculpted....

the zelous preacher has been brought up- I realy like the idea of using the Carnival to inhance the Arcanist faction- Ring Master a knife thrower, "Strong Man" and a tight rope walker with some flight/float skills On the flip side, Lobostele and I were chatting about a ballance between the West and East versions of characters why not an Ottman(Arabian) styles Vizar (wizard) with Djiins (Genie) and Dust Devils Hassin and Turks

What do you pan to do for the ashen and dust core pieces?

The Character from Red Dead Redemption or the English/Jacobeian play wright?

I'm THERE! (it's my birthday! :jester:)

I still think the westen/Jesuit styled Zelot-priest with a few fat Friars and some Ruler toting Cloisterd nuns would be bad ass give them abilities like Cast out, Exercise(m), holy water explosions Truth is a Sword Melee ability Guardian angel totem only hire LIVING plus flips agianst Neverborn

our Cincinnati Crew have been using 3'x3' layout for some time now and for the most part it's nice using the terrain set up "Rule of thumb" (15-30 'pieces' of terrain) works out well My complaint lately has been that I seem to ALWAYS draw the diagonal setup and one of the missions requiring markers to be put in the narrow spaces... everything seems to be bunched up... and convaluted at that point I'm considering gtting some of the new Battle mat terain from ZUZZY miniatures in 4x4 size so I can play 3x3 with a "Dead zone" like described above or expand

well your camera skills are not doing your models justice :tomato: That being said Ilove the Idea of using the RR Tracks on your bases!

adding multiple factions as an option (IMO) is not good- for the reasons above- in addition, as an organizer you want to turn over the time the players are using quickly and efficiently imagine going from table to table with a Rasputina squad (Usually 5-7 models) to a Leveticus or Colodi squad (7-13) between each table! keep in mind, not every venue has the space of GenCon or some other Large scale con, they are played in local stores with other things going on the rules as written, lay out that you hire your squads after the main "Goals" of the game are introduced... the debate could go on& on... mostly becoming an 'Us' vs 'Them' issue- I prefer to stick to what IS From what I've seen and been able to play test, the OP Tournament format being set up is VERY fair and equitable for either type of player and keep to the origional format as outlined in the rule books

yes my understanding is the Tournament format being worked on by the OP(Organized Play) group is designed to work based of VP(Victory points) just because a player has a maority of wins, donesn't automaticly mean they have superior number of VP Keep in mind, this game is not all about "Kill 'em all" like DDM, Star Wars Mini or Heroclix

Plus Or With antlers... on an Ice base from Dark Age and there you have it...!

Using the teritories in the books you could try to do aMap campaign trying to take over malifaux use the search for Cincinnati events; we had a lot of fun with this a simple one could be the "Reversal of fortune" All models begin with Reduced hit points/wounds... Min 2?

I used a skull pile base and some addidional bones ans skulls from GW and the Negative Woman elelment from the Hero clix fig as DUST then Cut off the Smoke/Fire Element from the Green Goblin fig and made a wastland base for it ASHEN CORE (they are both on 30's) Then I cut the Wind elemental loose form the WoW Base and use this one as the Combined Piece on a larger base!

good choice...!

is that hair on top of it's feet!? its the HOBBIT Version of Billy the kid!

Joss is supposed to be a Native American, a "noble savage" if you will... being as many of the characters in Malifaux ARE Characters... over stylized and stereotyped versions of the origional idea... again I ask: (Besides being a 'tricky' model to assembel) WHAT's WRONG IT>?

What's wrong with the ACTUAL Joss fig?

the RARE EARTH type magnets work for SOME miniatures, as the size of the base-point is restrictive but for the most part most folks PIN the model Privateer Press makes an awsome pinning kit for $12.99 that includes a ver nice pin-vice, PLENTY of pinning stock and several pin drill bits
