  1. While not having blatant nudity, even some of the Wyrds are pretty sexualized as well. Sword Vik is running around in ass-less chaps and a thong . . . I personally could care less. Taelor has thong straps hanging out, these things are just as suggestive IMHO. But the men are just as sexualized, big muscly men are what we are taught is attractive, therefore our male figures fit that description.

    I could care less how sexualized my figures are, I used to be a bit more prudish, then I realized it doesn't matter. I just bought a bunch of Amazons from Shadowsea, they are all topless, their breasts are a reasonable size, but they are still topless. I'm not going to pull them out in front of my kids, but still.

    Also, Tentacle Bento is Soda Pop Miniatures card game, everyone I know thinks it's a riot, mind you most of my friends are young women who have watched tentacle porn at some point. They think it is one of the silliest card games ever, therefore I bought a copy to play with them. We also play Super Dungeon Explore a lot. They are both lighthearted jabs at the Anime Genre in different ways.

  2. No need to wait to see finished boards, here are a few pics of previous ones I made.

    My new one will have a more castle theme to it with a teeny hint of steampunk, the crowing on the walls will have a cog pattern, but that's all I intend to add as I don't like steampunk gone overboard.

    Also, Omenbringer, I do have a crafter style hot knife, but mine doesn't heat up enough to be very useful, also, generally people don't have a lot of these tools, so I'd rather stick with the regular knife for this tutorial. You'll note I mention the table, but stress it isn't required as for a cave style layout it isn't needed. The above photos did not use any hot wire tools, save the one oddball room, that room is why I decided against using hot wires for this purpose.

    To make these work in a Malifaux setting would require a bit of a different approach, but as stated the fundamentals are there.

  3. Generally yes, it works much faster and creates cleaner cuts on the thinner board. On the thicker board I can go either way, it depends on what I am making. My current project (that I am using for this tutorial) is a castle or temple interior, so I use the wire cutter to make smoother walls, however all the wall will be covered when I am done anyways. I intend to use some off cuts to show a variety of methods for crafting walls.

    A handheld cutter works well for general terrain, but it poor for straight cuts. It's all about using the right tool for the job.

  4. While this tutorial was not written for Malifaux, the techniques are perfectly applicable to other uses, and could be used to make a variety of useful boards. So thought I'd share here as well.

  5. Waiting on some new figs actually, my only two crews are buried down somewhere . . .

    Did finish up my Sucker Punch girls though. Ortega's perhaps?

    And finished what Relic Knights I currently have, need to order more. Been thinking about using Little Red and her Puppy as the Dreamer.

  6. Actually, anyone know where I can get some Small Buddhas? Not the fat kind, but the Tibetan styled ones, looking for 1-2" (need 2) and maybe a 4". I've been cruising online, but having a hard time finding exactly what I want. I'll not be able to finish till I find them. Another similarly styled seated figure would also work. I need them for the section ends and a focus piece.

  7. I'll take a look at those, thanks. I don't intend to use real roots though, I tend to find they don't match well, you have this surreal environment with surreal figures, when you through some reality into it it breaks the vibe and shows you how fake everything else looks.

    There will be a pool at some point as well, but I'm not sure I can handle a waterfall as much as I'd love to, my ability with water has always been crap. Though I did design a really cool layout for one, I doubt I'll try to put it in.
