the gunslingers are really truescale space marines without their armor, wyrd figured you could use them for that other comp[anies game as well, and this way lawyers don't show up

actually seeing this, I'm kind of glad i held off getting them, i didn't know about the size, but like how the original looks better, short, potbellied, and i put a cowboy hat on him and named him Barry, Barry the Bastard Ortega

started with wfb/40k and played them through most my teen years and adult hood, mageknight for a short while before whizkidz  was bought by topps and mageknight was killed off, and heroclix until i moved to an area where noone played.  picked up malifaux because 40k became a game to make sure your weekend was clear for and I was looking for something skirmish sized that i couold get a game in within a couple hours., plus i liked the settings and steampunk style.  have been slowly getting into warmachine as well and have a dystopian wars fleet, though i havent played yet

That was that card game, right? I can't imagine a company making a miniatures game would be foolish enough to do that, given the time, effort and money involved in getting a painted army ready!

(Well, except maybe a certain big one, but then there's always rumours they'll abandon old armies)

Squats will return one day..  probably once gw goes under and someone else buys the IP

personally i like the sounds of this, I always liked 40k, just havent gotten the chance to play as often lately as most of the people i used to play are currently focused on other games, and i can never get down to the local gaming store for their 40k nights

setting sounds interesting and I like how the story wwill progress

i like the detail and working with plastic is alot easier when it comes to conversions, but some of the small parts are a pain, I've already lost:

a punk zombie's head (he is now 'headless sid')

a number of hoses and wires from iron zombies and miss step

the hand the chihuaha's holding

and

the cylinder that's supposed to hang under the tray McMourning is holding

I unfortunatly have wall to wall carpeting in my current house (wich i hate, but rent, so it stays)  so those pieces are good and gone

one thing i've sort of wanted since i first got into the game was some official rules for making your own master.  like a base stat, costs for addons and upgrades, spells abilities

otherwise some sort of time travel based master for arcanists, like he can do paralyze effects or even an ability to reverse an action so it never happened.  either make him mounted on some HG Wells time machine, or some guy in a suit holding up some fancy mechanicle screwdriver.

and been messing off and on with ideas for a Nemo based master and crew

I don't even use a mini until it's finished, too many games in the past of warhammer where i'm playing agains legs glued to a base, bases, or pennies and coasters, part of the appeal to miniatures games for me is visual.  I want my crew of insane undead mad scientist creations to look somewhat like undead mad scientist creations when i play.

part of why I'm not big on using a plain soda can as terrain either

I've been using old mageknight evil looking trees, i think they were the necropolis sect originally, but they have enough of an evil forest feel to them

QFT. I've occasionally seen colorblind work that's been pretty obviously so.

that's true, Mr. Tezla plays with a grey clan of gremlins. I just half-ass it and take my paints names to literally mean what they say,

Welcome aboard, me and Mr. Tesla are also colorblind painters too

I dont think i've even looked at the site that often lately, I either go straight to forums, or the store

having spent the better part of an hour searching for an orian's face in my carpet, i feel you pain with the tiny bits

There's some of the art/minis I do like, the ice golem actually looks like a golem now, and not an anorexic troll, new bells, death marshalls, gremlins still look goofy as they should. and there's some I like the older art beter, like the Viks, Seamus, McMourning (mostly those glasses) so I'm sort of on the fence

Also, just caught this, but what is with Miranda's leg?

The only irish guy is a phsyco killer who likes dead women.

we all know he should be drinking heavily and starting fights

2 models does not make a chain.

not complainign about the change, just think they shouldn't of called it what it isn't

I think I've seen someone do something similar with a tyranid lictor for W40k, it was a pretty cool effect.

no clue if wyrd'd approve of it though, maybe if you made it clear enough your intent wasn't to sell it

last minis, gencon order for nightmare tara, new belles, death marshalls, arsenal cards for ressers, and miss step. and i got a khador starter for warmahordes

meh, I've known people who play the latest edition of 40k, and still take a weekend to play the original rouge trader ruleset, I dont see why people can't play both to their preference

having come from a warhammer/w40k background, I'm used to new editions just as you've catched up to a 1000 point army, now need another 1000 points because everyone's playing 2000 point armies because they're in the rulebook. long as malifaux doesn't go that far, I can manage the occasional edition update.

it can't be nearly as bad as 3rd ed DnD going to 4th ed mmo-in-tabletop-form DnD at least

I finally got Yan-Lo, primed the minis with Army Painter black primer, I've used it plenty of times before, on metal, resen, and plastic, never had a problem, so far have not had a problem with Yan-Lo's crew, except Chaiti, whose face and mask are featureless blobs, I thought maybe I went a little too heavy on the primer and covered the details, and went to try scraping some off lightly with a toothpick, and watches as the plastic oozed right off in a clump with the primer.

I've never had this happen before with this brans, and all the rest of the crew look ok, no loss of detail, no meltyness or squishyness. I'm actually not sure why it was just her head that was affected like this, they all come off the same sprue

Nicodem counts as undead(but isn't), not robotic.

He has a ribotic leg is what I think he meant

if w40k can update the rules for their models each edition, I'm sure wyrd will manage

Sometimes Infinity is about who blinks first, it requires a ridiculous amount of terrain which is often dumped on the table with more concern for lanes of fire than any rhyme or reason.

But the models are really cool, except for the fiddly bits. Just make sure you play for actual objectives because mutual slaughter in Infinity makes for a poor game.

some of the people in my local gaming group are about the same with terrain for Malifaux.

I was interested in getting into infinity, i like the look, setting and the hacking rules, but there's a distinct lack of people playing in my area, and halflingspy who was the only other person around considering infinity, got talked into mercs instead, and mercs just doesn't do it for me

gremlin construct master

the local group around here's gotten big, we usually have 3-4 games going half the time at the local store.

haven't had too much problems with brittle plastic yet, it's the tiny peices that I've had fun times with, searching for one of the orian's faces through the carpeting shen I dropped it by mistake
