Thanks Smiley, I mean dsmiles.

Sorry.

I'll try that when I get back to the real world. I need to get some more drill bits anyway I went through about six doing two minis.

Clipper oil it is.

Thanks

Rannith

Diehard,

No I haven't been lubricating the bit and I should have thought to. I'm a bit of a neophyte in the assembly/painting department so any other tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated. Is there any particular lubricant you would suggest? You mentioned candle wax but as a last resort kind of thing, what would be better? A thin light machine oil like sewing machine oil or a heavier grease like petroleum jelly?

Thanks again

Maybe his brother has succeeded, at least partially.

Well I've finished the lady...

I need to find time to get some better photos...

Gotta hate the camera phone...

It is probably too late now but if you have need in the future I have a reasonably good camera setup if you want someone to take close-ups of your minis. I am in or at least reasonably close to Sydney. No charge.

Oh and Sorry Bucket Monkey, Thank you for the explanation of Miss Pack. As you might expect from the speed with which I acquired one faction for Malifaux it is highly likely that I will pick up another faction quite soon.

On another subject does anyone else find the minis fragile to assemble? some of the joints and limbs are very thin and even the drill bits I used to pin them tended to snap with annoying frequency.

Thank you all for your responses, I know it is the ideal of an internet forum but it is nice to see people from all 'round the world popping in.

Once I get out of hospital I will definitely try the three on three match up that has been suggested before going all out on one crew. I would really like to go C.Hoffman as the miniatures and his background/rise to power really appeal to me but as one of my previous oponents in another game said "You have all the tactical subtlety of a shotgun to the balls" I think I might have to try someone that requires a little less precision integration of components. Is there a crew that just comprises one big creature that just walks on things and then eats the squishy remains?? No? Darn!

Something to take my mind off my ribs anyway.

Regards

Rannith

Thanks for that Adran, I will have a go, unfortunately the FLGS only has one guy working who plays Malifaux and he is on holiday at the moment so I'm just hanging around like a reject resurrectionist hoping to eavesdrop on a customer talking about it.

For my money it has to be Ryle.

It can't be Samael H or any of the Ortegas because they have been associated with someone who has proved to be unsound to the Guild and as the Guild operates on the same policies of fair play and evidence as the McCarthy trials Samael was far too close to Sonia Criid to be trusted let alone promoted and the same goes for the whole Ortega family. We are going to have to do something about them..,

Hi,

A week ago all I knew about Malifaux was the vague knowledge that it was one of the many games inhabiting the walls of my FLGS. I had never played it I didn't know anyone who had played it. In fact those two conditions are still accurate. BUT the important thing was way back then I didn't own any of the books or miniatures for the game, now six days later I own;

1 Burgandy Fate Deck

Malifaux Rules Manual

Rising Powers

Twisted Fates (or whatever the other one is called I don't have it to hand.)

C. Hoffman

Perdita Ortega

Lucius Governor's Secretary

Lady Justice

Sonia Criid

Francisco Ortega

Nino Ortega

Santiago Ortega

Papa Loco (presumably Ortega)

Abuela Ortega

Lawyer

Guildguard Captain

Judge

Samael Hopkins

3 X Witchling Stalkers

2 X Guild Austringers

5 X Guild Guards

3 X Death Marshalls

1 X Executioner

1 X Peacekeeper

1 X Ryle Guild Pawn

1 X Guardian

1 X Watcher

1 X Hunter

1 X Avatar of Conflagration

1 X Drill Sergeant

1 X Governor's Proxy

1 X Enslaved Nephilim

1 X Scales of Justice

1 X Purifying Flame

1 X Mechanical Attendant

and

1 X Miss Pack (Nurse) which rather confuses me.

Now if I ever get all or in fact any of the above assembled, where do I go from here. In all that confusing array above is there anything notably missing that I should get? Advise on constructing a crew and tactics would be appreciated.
