  1. PROGRESS!! ...Sort of. No paint yet, but my numbers are growing and sculpts are complete! First off, Simulacrum 29 is FINALLY done, and very pointy. Other than that, I have added a few beasties to my growing menagerie of cadavers and other horrors. Finally picked up the actual Canine remains, as well as a proxy for a second flesh construct (from Hell Dorado), and I couldn't help but get Molly as well. I have Seamus's crew and a third Flesh Construct proxy to arrive soon as well, and a friend has dropped a good sized Collodi crew on my operating table to work some magic on. Needless to say, I have a lot of painting to do!
  2. Thanks for the awesome compliments, guys. You flatter me! I got a little more progress done on Nico's crew and Big Ugly 29 today. Simulacrum29 just needs one more leg sculpted, his second set of, er, rib..arm...things and his back/spikes then I can start a-paintin'.
  3. Oh yes, so much green stuff. I'm seeing green at this point. But sure! Most of it was just mad sciencing models+bits+green stuff together. The McM crew is for the most part out of the box with minor mods/fancy bases, but I did a little more work on a few. Like the Malifaux nurse. I amputated her legs and repositioned them to perch on the edge of a plasticard built table with some zombie bits and green stuff as a half dissected corpse. Bases, tables, pipes, etc are all made from Plasticard rods and sheet, though I have some of Wyrd's Morgue bases mixed in too. The dog is an old school D&D Chainmail skeletal dog with some greenstuff fleshy bits, and the other nurse.... I actually don't know what she's from. I got her, sans her head from a friend of mine, gave her a new head and used her for my second nurse. The Rogue Necromancy was, at one time, an Avatars of War cerebus, but after some serious GS surgery and the addition of GW Chaos Spawn bits, is one no longer. The avatars are completely from scratch, save for a few zombie arms here and there. Any other questions you have, I'll be glad to try and answer. I don't claim to be any sort of pro, just a deranged hobbyist, but I could probably give pointers. I think that's the great thing about Malifaux-- it's a Skirmish game so you can put a lot of individual effort into each model and not have it get overlooked among a hundred others.
  4. Well I've gone and done it. Here's a log to post and keep track of my gradually growing Malifaux collection. Conversions and paint, oh my! After being gifted McMourning's box+totem for my birthday in August, I can say I am a hardcore Resser fan. I'm working on a crew for him and Nicodem right now, with Seamus and his undead ladyfriends doing well to tempt me on the side. Right now I'm working on the conversion side of things, and soon I'll be actually moving on to paint, but I figured I would show what I have so far. Making monsters is so much fun. Here's the Body Snatchers + a few extras after I finished trying to make 'em look all fancy. A Necromancy of a Roguish kind. And after getting my hands on Book 3, well... I just had to do this: Simulacrum 29 still has work to be done, mostly it's legs, back, spikes and various details, but I am trying to follow it's design as close to the art as I can. For Avatar-McM I found the book art a little... unflattering. Not flashy enough! So I went along the route of 'super cheesy Mad Scientist' for him, while keeping a few of the cool things in his design: claws, syringe of questionable content, a stylish cravat, those killer gloves. Just tacked on some goggles and a dramatically flowing labcoat inspired by the fashionably crazy Dr. Steel. SCIENCE! Edited the zombie chihuahua's base too since I wasn't too happy with the original idea. The more gore the better, I say. I'm a bit torn as to what I want to do with his base. I don't want just plain tiles, but I'm stumped. Any ideas that may keep with theme of the rest of the crew?
  5. One of those GW strips would be more than enough for a single man-sized if you don't mix more than you need at one time. But honestly, if you can drop around $15-17 or so and you may not mind waiting for shipping, I would go with the much larger tubes from Gale Force 9 over the GW strips. Not only is it more for your dollar, but the way GW makes the strips, you end up wasting a bunch where the green and yellow parts connect down the center. GF9 keeps these colors separate. I've found the tubes at my FLGS too, so maybe yours might have it if you have one in the area.
  6. From what I gather they're typically a cloudy whitish color... but there's some variation, like the Gorgon's Tear is actually green. But I think colored ones are 'special cases'.
  7. Since my stuff is in various stages of conversion and lacking paint, I'll show something finished: my first ever mini commission I got from a guy at the LGS. Rogue Necromancy! It's based off an Avatar of War cerberus with some heavy... heavy modification. I worked to his specs rather than the copying the illustration in the book, and it was a really fun project. Fresh off the Doctor's slab. There's actually a corpse in the coffin, but it's hard to spot in these pics. And now in color! Purple-grey (It's a bit more muted than the pics show) to match his zombies, because it's in good taste to always color coordinate your shambling living-impared monsters, you know. Gotta keep with the undead Feng shui, or something. But there were a few minor issues with that center head... But, uh, it has enough connective tissue left to where it can still bite, so I doubt he'll mind too much!
  8. Hello, hellooo. I'm Doc and just as the title said, I'm fresh meat to both Malifaux and the forums! I've been collecting, painting and mini-gaming for years, Warhammer fantasy and 40k respectively, with a few other smaller systems on the side. A good friend and huge fan of the game gifted me McMourning's box set for my birthday in August-- a rather fitting choice for this Doc, I'd say. After teaching me about the game and reading the awesome fluff, I am pretty hooked. I have yet to get much playtime under my belt, but I'm eager to learn. As a huge mad science/horror/zombie fan, I really love the Ressers, so I picked up Nicodem's box and am planning on grabbing Seamus' at some point as well...cause who can go wrong with serial killers and dead hookers? A couple of the Neverborn's really caught my eye too, like the Dreamer. Anyways, this game and it's awesome character really sparked up my motivation to work on models again with crazy conversions. I have a bunch of super secret experiments in the works that I will no doubt post somewhere around here once I find my way around, but for now I'm just peeking my head out to give a friendly hello!
