Hi all,
I just got two crew boxes of Malifaux and I am very excited on getting started in this game however I have VERY little experience painting and basing miniatures and was hoping for some tips and pointers.
I have a couple questions on how to get started:
1) Should I glue the mini to the base before doing any basing work?! Or do people typically paint and prepare the base first then add the mini to a completed base?
2) If I add the mini first should I paint the mini then do the basing last or do the basing work first followed by the mini?
The two boxed I have are Perdita and Lilith if that makes a difference on how I should proceed...
I viewed a few videos on basing and they all appear to add rocks / gravel / etc with no figure on the base, but wasn't sure if that was just for demonstration purposes or if that is standard? If that is the case do I just cover the slit in the base with rocks, etc and cut the figure from the piece that connects the feet?
I know this is a bit long, but I am really looking for good advise to get my miniatures ready for some games!
Thanks,
Tim
