Are you asking what is the best Malifaux Module that you can play currently ON Vassal, or what is the most updated version OF Vassal? The link I gave you has both a mac and Windows version of Vassal on it. If you are asking for the Malifaux module I don't think it is finished yet, but I would be wrong.

Well unfortunately I am not going to hit my goal of everything painted by today as I have only been able to get some paint on Ramos's Crew. This was primarily because of a very large real life conflict that came up of all of a sudden needing to find a place to live so that sort of took up a lot of my extra time lol. I will still be working on these as quickly as I can as well as juggle some commission work I have too so don't think I have abandoned this, just a little behind schedule.

Yes like the band, they made a miniatures wargame a while back, it is completely ridiculous with some pretty raunchy stuff in it but pretty funny. I only have the rulebook as I never found any miniatures personally.

Played my first full game of Malifaux today. I played as Ramos, my brother Lady J. He crushed me pretty handedly actually. But I forgot things like the Terrifying on the SB and realized that I should have been spreading my spiders out more and pumping more out to get the activations at the end. Oh well, live and learn. Everything is now primed though, started painting a bit but will really hit it hard tomorrow so keep a look out for the finished minis

Yes I realized that that was the problem with how I was doing it. However the base insert I made is already firmly attached and I would destroy the base trying to get it off to make a new one, and I simply don't think my bitz box is deep enough without some very thorough and serious scrounging to find stuff I could use to really make it look good. For now I am content with my slightly clunky version though. When I get more spiders (notice that I did say when lol) I will definitely do it differently. You live and learn, and this was my first time ever really messing with magnets so I didn't have much to go on besides the basic idea.

Well putting the magnets under the base and metal on the spiders worked well enough. They are a little fiddly but they hold. Not as pretty as Ratty's Spiders but, for me, these are more of a test with magnets and I was concerned with them working as game pieces rather than for display. Magnets under the base. Metal under the spider bits. But it holds so that is good enough.

So the magnets are a good idea in theory... They are becoming a nightmare to actually use. I am now having the problem where because there are 3 magnets so close together on that base they have a habit of wanting to snap together instead of to the metal on the bottom of the base and when they snap together the spiders usually end up in between the two magnets and explode everywhere. I have already lost 2 spider legs because of this. I would almost rather just spend the money on some more spiders to represent the individuals and swarms instead of dealing with this hassle. I am going to try glueing the magnets to the bottom of the base and gluing the metal to the bottom of the thing the spiders are standing on and see if that works instead. If not then i'm just getting more spiders. Everything else except for the spiders is now assembled and everything but the Guild stuff is primed.

Would anyone be interested in playing a game using Roll20.net? It has a deck feature and I think it would work if someone was willing to try it out with me. Jest send me a PM if you wanted to try it sometime.

I don't know why I didn't think of that for the spiders. Yes I will definitely do that. And I did fill the gaps in the Neverborn I just forgot to say that I did lol. I picked up some Tamiya liquid Putty at Hobby Lobby and it worked well enough. ---------- Post added at 02:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:35 PM ---------- The bases of those spiders look awesome Ratty, going to scrounge through my 40k bits now.

Not a big update today. I finished constructing the Lady Justice box and the Executioner, well all but the bases. Still need to do the Perdita box and the bases for all of the guild. I think I am going to do dirt bases with bones scattered around that bases of Justice's crew and different desert features on bases of Perdita's crew but let the dirt base tie them both together. One that is done I will prime and start painting. I will start with the Neverborn stuff first. I also got magnets for the spiders but they were to big so I will have to get some smaller ones . Anyone know of good magnets that work well for the spiders, especially if you have used them yourself?

I went for Marble Tiles look that could be reminiscent of a higher class casino. There are pictures here.

Did you make that terrain? If so what are those blocks that make up the house and walls?

I only pinned the back two legs as they where the only ones I could hide the pins. The way it attaches to the table though it gives it more of a surface area to glue to rather than just the tip of the leg if that makes sense.

My fingers are bleeding from pinning him but it was worth it in the end, AND he should actually stay together too.
