Hey Spiralingcadaver, welcome to Malifaux! It seems as though others have already substantially answered your questions but if there's anything else I'd be happy to help (you've helped me on more than one occasion on the privateer press forums :happypuppet2). Lady J and Von Schill are both really fun boxes and should be good starters. If you're into background definitely pick up the Core rule book and the rising powers expansion at some point as the fluff is pretty engaging. Enjoy!

I ordered Twisting Fates, Both Nightmare editions, Seamus' Avatar, and splurged on an ultra sexy Puppet Wars shirt. I'm waiting to pick up the actual puppet wars game from my local store.

Bump. Ran a great demo game yesterday and there seems to be a lot of hype around the league starting up in two weeks.

Looks very nice and clean. I like that color scheme on Kirai. The only thing I might add would be to make the highlights a bit more defined on the Seishin as it looks like one solid color at the moment. But that could just be the lighting. Great work overall!

Hello and welcome to Wyrd and Malifaux! I find the game pretty intuitive and easy to learn and teach to new players. I recommend printing out the Reference sheet available here. I still have one of these sitting out for every player when I play and it makes things go much faster. Have fun and enjoy!

Those look great! Their detail really brings out each board's individual character. I'm working on some boards for a league I'll be running at my local shop as well and you've given me lots of inspiration. Cheers and good luck with the league!

I'm going to chime in for the envirotex as well. I've used Woodland Scenics, and a variety of cheapo alternatives and have never been as satisfied with the end result. It's pretty widely available but if you can't find it hobby lobby generally has sales going on in their online store and you can get it at a pretty reasonable price there.

I'm a big fan of jmp_mydog over at twilight emporium (and on these forums as well) and he has made some really fantastic looking patches. It looks like a pretty labor intensive process and he has said that he doesn't have any plans to make them widely available on his webstore but it seems like he's open to doing custom jobs.

Wow I'm dumb. Today I put the hooded rider together and after finally getting all the fiddly little bits on the thing in a way that looked pretty decent and pinning it to a base I turned the model over, examining all the cool details when on the horses head I found lots of tiny holes that would have been perfect for the snakes .

I had cut and filed them down so they could be tucked behind that helmet looking armor piece (at least that's what it looked like to me haha). Now I'm faced with the option of either doing a little green stuff work to cover up the mistake or tearing the snakes off and properly applying them. What would you guys do?

Edit: Okay after realizing that it would haunt me for the rest of my life I carefully removed all the snakes and properly attached them like a normal person.

That don't confront me long as I get my money next Friday.

Thanks again man, I love my sig! The others are looking good as well.

I Macgyver'd a wet pallette up last week as well and have saved a ton of paint. Instead of piling up lots of paper I put one of the sheets of foam from the Malifaux starter boxes down with a sheet of waxy paper over that which worked really well. Might save you some paper.

I always fly by the seat of my pants. I generally have a basic idea of what master I want to play (usually whoever I've painted most recently) and go with that. But I always flesh out the crew based on what strategies/schemes I'll be playing.

It wasn't hard to do and I don't know if it's the right way to do it or not as I was experimenting at the time.

I always use a white undercoat and then just gave the dress a slight wash with watered down Badab Black. from there I went through highlighting it back to white on the high points.

For the sheer look I took the easy route. Since I had her with the dark red skin I grabbed some Ball Red Wash and went over the higher parts so it looks lighter and as if it is showing through the dress.

I don't know if that is how it's suppose to be done but it seems to have worked for me.

Yet another use for the amazing washes. Well done!

This is jaw droppingly awesome! But even with the Cthulu Lord Chompy bits I have to say my favorite thing is the ace battle damage on teddy. Top notch.

Everything looks so life like! Er... dead-like. Either way fantastic work. I love your dark style.

Damn nice bases on the Lady J crew I haven't seen those yet. What is that one death marshal standing on, a piece of sheet metal? That's awesome! I've gotta check those out tomorrow.

Haha that Rat knows where it's at. Keep me posted on how the league turns out. I wish I was in the area, those are some pretty sweet prizes you're offering for the tournament.

Thanks for the responses! I really like both of the formats that snord and Buhallin are running and will probably use some culmination of the both of them. Buhallin, I hope you don't mind but I'm going to use the first page of your doc as the basis for a flier to put up in the local shop as I'm not so photoshop savvy.

I'm wondering if anyone's had any experience running or playing in a Malifaux achievement league? How did everyone respond to the format? Was it successful in generating more Malifaux buzz? I'm working on drumming up some more excitement for Malifaux at the local store and it seemed like a fun way to go about running a league.

I don't care what the drowned are as long as there's some cool looking nasty bloated minis to go with them.

Welcome and best of luck with the store!

Sounds interesting. I'd be all for it!
