Shaky hands can be dealt with by using a tripod (or some sort of rest for the camera). When taking photos of my models (if I'm using long time exposition and no flash), I use the timer function. I set the timer for 2 seconds and it works brilliantly..

I like it. If everyone had their models painted that way (and in that amount of time), world would be filled with great looking armies / crews...

Let's go back to the begining of the project. When starting such a build, it's always good to know where you're going and where you want to be when finished. I made this plans / sketches (I hope they'll be usefull) (I changed the writing from Croatian so you can understand more easily). This was the outline for the board itself and as you can see it is almost as such now that the board is finished. Some more photos of the current state of the board: In the same time I was building the board, I was doing the buildings as well. Here are the sketches: The only finished piece of terrain so far (with some of my models):

I don't know if you've heard, but there is a new invention - it's called an airplane :nod:. and believe it or not we do have an airport (not a big one, but planes do land sometimes :bounce:).. so if you're ever in the area, you're more than welcome to play on it... thanks for the comments

Hi, this is my latest big project. I'm building a table for my Malifaux games. The table itself is 125 x 125 cm (4'x4') but the playing field itself is 1m x 1m which I believe is enough for a good game especially when crammed with terrain. The idea is to have a board and detachable scenery (be it the lampposts, trees or buildings and hills)... After fixing the frame with screws and PVA glue, I then drew the outline of the terrain features (swamp, cobbled stone, desert and railway lines) on the board. I made the stands for the fate cards. I used a balsa plank which is 4mm thick onto which I glued a strip of sponge 5mm thick. Over it all I placed a cloth which I fixed with staples to the balsa. I will not fix it to the board untill I am finished with the board alltogether. I then proceeded to make small details on the board, such as railway lines, and other features cast out of plaster. I drilled holes in the board in the places where I will spill the plaster to make cobbled stone and other feature (desert...) for it to adhere to the board as best as possible. The bank of the swamp as well as the islands were sculpted out of clay (DAS Clay). Once the clay was dry, I glued the small magnets in the places where I planned the trees and the street lights to be. (I also glued magnets on the bottom of those features - so they can be removed when the board is not in use). I then, placed the newspaper over the playing area and painted the rest of the board black I finished the railway lines - painted it and glued it on to the embankment The desert part as well as the part of the town with the cobbled stone is made out of plaster (Eberhard Faber) After finishing with the plaster (and allowing it to set), I then glued the texture (sand and gravel) with PVA glue. I started with engraving the cobbled roads onto the plaster and started undercoating the whole table. I used GW Roughcoat for the undercoat. Then came the painting. I painted the whole board using PEBEO Deco Acrylic paints. (black, brown, ochre, ash, white, grey.. I think that about covers it... ) And this is what the painted product looks like: Afterwards I put the static grass onto the board. i used a couple of shades going from rich green near the swamp to almost brown/greyish near the desert.. I also glued various branches, bushes and the longer 7mm static grass in clumps in between cobbled stones... Next, the resin was put in. I used three layers. The first layer was richly painted with emerald green (Pebeo Crystal colour), the next was just tinted while the last layer was just resin. I used Gedeo Crystal Resin because it comes in two parts that are mixed in 2:1 ratio which makes it easy to mix. I then proceeded to make terrain. I made a quarry (on the left), a brothel (big building in the middle of the board), a warehouse with a train depo (behind the brothel), a gothic tower (Hirst Arts), a small hut (for making moonshine), and a blacksmiths (TabletopWorld)... I still plan to make two further houses in a Victorian style. One will be a Guild HQ and another will be an orphanage... That makes: :button1Quarry and warehouse - Arcanists, :button1Hut - Outcasts, :button1Brothel (Sybelle's) - Ressers :button1HQ - Guild I still need to make a couple of bridges between the islands and the bank.. WIP of the brothel. the upstairs is removalbe. Downstairs there is a reception, a gambling hall with a bar and a staircase leading up. Upstairs there are three rooms to the front, one to the back an a bathroom in the back... Anyway, that's it for now...

This is really cool! The idea is great, execution also. easy (though not easy to make ), simple and effective. I especially like the tie! great job and I can't wait to see it painted

Scoring (0-33pts): Generalship (0-9pts): Victory - 3 pts Draw - 1 pts Defeat - 0 pts Victory conditions are calculated accordnig to the main rules of Malifaux (who has more VP) In case of a tie, the tie breaker will be the number of VP. Painting (0-9pts): Bases - 1pt (one kind of flock), 2pts (detailed base) Painting - 3pt (3 colours), 4pts (drybrush), 5pts (shading, layering etc..) Overall Impression (every model in the crew must be painted!) - 1pt (neat, precise, uniformly painted crew, wysiwyg), 2pts (extra details, conversions, uneat, precise, uniformly painted crew, wysiwyg) Fairplay (3x(0-5pts)): The opponent was friendly 1pt The opponent knew the rules reasonably well 1pt The opponent didn't try to cheat 2pt All of the disputes were amicably resolved 1pt In the end all the scores are added, and the winner is the player with the most points. During lunch, there will be a Best Painted Crew Contest. Every player can apply. All the models in the crew must be exhibited for the contest (even the not painted ones). The crew with the most votes wins. Only the participants of the Malifaux December Horror Tournament can vote. *Lunch is free for all the UMS "Agram" members and players from abroad. If you need to stay the night, contact us at ums.agram@gmail.com and we'll try to arrange some cheap(er) accomodation (around 15€/night) Applications can be sent by PM to my account here, or at www.ums-agram.hr/forums (my nick there is Demonn Ournebb'es Athor).

Things you need to bring: 1. your list (pool) - at least in duplicate 2. your crew along with the cards 3. your deck and tape measure 4. rules manuals - not neccessary but useful 5. superglue - just in case Good luck!

Hi everyone, my name is Marko and I come from Zagerb, Croatia. I'm 32 years of age (but I'm a kid at heart). I'm the president of may local gaming club (UMS "Agram") and the best thing we've ever done is in my sig Before I started playing Malifaux, I was into LOTR SBG and Mordheim. I started this hobby about ten years ago through Lord of the Rings and eventually moved onto Mordheim. As soon as I heard of Malifaux, I fell in love with it! In the past year I collected and painted my Ramos' crew, started on VonSchill, while Seamus and his girls are still waiting for their turn... And I just ordered Puppet Wars.. anyway, that's enough from me...

Hi there, a new player from Zagreb, Croatia
