I guess a Campaign Systems that allows you to "unlock" more minions could work pretty well. Kinda like in RTS games (Warcraft, Stracraft, etc.) where you start with a limited model/unit pool and have to tech up first do get to the good stuff.

In Malifaux this would probably be based on SS cost of the models. For example the campaign could start with a 4SS max cost per minion and then gradually increase during the campaign.

I assembled my Nicodem recently so i can't help you with pics but his right arm and the vulture body are one piece. The arm is clued onto Nicodems body at the shoulder. The Vultures head and neck are another piece.

My concern is the cutting. how hard is it to cut out a piece. im mainly concerned with the smaller pieces and the fact that there are 6 sheets of things to cut out.

Well, the pieces are cut all the way through the HDF (3mm). They are held in place by tiny notches that are only cut halfways. I'll try to take a picture later.

There aren't too many of those notches, maybe 2-3 on the really large pieces. It's pretty much the same with the small pieces only with less notches.

Still the sheer amount of the small pieces and the fact that you wont be able to cut the notch complete because the blade is too thick makes removing these parts a bit harder and quite annoying.

In the end the small parts just take more time and careful handling and they can be removed without breaking them.

As mentioned over here i recently acquired one of the Wolsung XIX Century buildings and promised to post some pictures.

What you get:

Six sheets of HDF (numbered 1-6)

Two sheets of thick paper (pictured are some of the parts)

I've only started assembling and had to take it apart again yesterday due to the clue(or whatever the sticky stuff is) on the HDF Board (first time i assemble this kind of terrain). I then cleaned all parts with a damp cloth. This took quite some time for the parts i had already removed from the sheets. The other parts were cleaned pretty quick.

Lessons learned: Clean parts BEFORE removing from the HDF sheets.

Some of the removed parts(the smallest parts of the kit)

These are only the parts for the roof and some parts from the ground floor. There are quite a lot of parts on the sheets. Assembly isn't very hard as you only need to stick the parts together. They fit tight and the building gets very sturdy. Right now i'm figuring out whether to use PVA clue or not.

Removing the parts from the HDF sheets is a bit more tricky because the parts aren't fully cut. There are minor connections preventing them from falling out, these need to be cut with a hobby knive. After these connections have been cut the larger parts can be removed very easily. The smaller parts are harder to remove and you'll need to be careful not to break any.

Ground floor barebone (4 walls and floor) loosely stuck together for size comparison/scale. Inside the building is a Rotten Belle, outside Leveticus on MicroArt base.

Well i hope this was helpful to anyone, turned into more of a review then just some pictures.

Additional pictures can be found on the Wolsung Indiegogo-Campaign site.

Thanks for the info Nathan.

Since i'm pretty much in the same boat as ttsgosadow i'll head to my bank and initiate a chargeback.

Well there actually was some Malifaux. At the Fantasy-In booth they had some blisters hanging around in a somewhat hidden corner. Didn't buy anything though.

What i did buy was one of the Wolsung (Microarts) XIX Century Buildings. Really nice stuff.

I was also tempted by their XIX Century Walksways but i'm propably backing their Indiegogo Campaign and will get 2 of these then.

Started assembling yesterday. If anyone is interested in some WIP photos i'll take some.
