I think I have the same set...

Thanks. In the past, I've used metal rod for pinning. I'll be on the look-out for some plastic rod to work with.

I fell in love with a lot of the Ten Thunders models 3 or maybe close to 4 years ago, now, when I got an advert for the pre-sale of Masters of the Path box set. I bought it, and since then have picked up a few other figs along the way. At the time, my paint table was already in disarray... and we finally made the expected move. I am finishing up a unit from another game now that my paint table is reconstructed, and decided now would be the time to tackle some of the Malifaux MotP stuff. And I find myself stymied by a very simple question... How the heck should I go about attaching these things to the bases? Everything I've worked with in conscious memory has been slotta bases. I saw one video where someone was putting dabs of epoxy on the feet and just gluing them down... but that leaves me a bit nervous about them getting dinged and popping off the bases. In a video or two I've seen on the painting of Malifaux figs, it looks like they've put pins in the feet. That seems like a good, if not necessary, idea to me. Any suggestions or cautions about this? Or is there some better practice? Thanks for any assistance.

I'm not really a fan of the models, themselves, but I really like the idea of this paintjob. Kudos!

It's not that I so much want them for Malifaux, but they'd be oh-so-cool in a Shadowlands army for Clan War!

So, I just saw the new releases list. I definitely see an empty wallet in my future. I'll probably only get one Zako, but I might be tempted to get 2 each of Yin and the Daimyo.

Got mine last week. Muchas gracias!

You can get the 3D printer for less than the laser cutter.

So, what's the scale on that thing? If you tell me its smaller than 54mm, I'm going to have to send Torikage assassins after you...

I'd asked about TT cards a couple of weeks ago and Nathan said something about getting them added to the store, but nothing so far. Might be worth checking in with him again.

I ran out of words of praise about 217 models ago... so please, just rinse and repeat as desired.

Alas, can't much see the work to comment. The included pics are "tiny".

Brilliant piece of info, there. Thanks for sharing that.

It's a very cool idea. If my skills were even remotely up to it, I'd try something similar, but just spread the fade across a wider area.

Aha.... makes much more sense to me, now. Thanks for the clarification, and very lovely work on all counts.

Yep. Just ran my gaming group thru their paces yesterday... Scorpion Clan samurai on assignment in Lion Clan lands.

It's called a torii.

OK, either that's a typo, or you've found a secret way to get more ashigaru. If so, how did you get a 4th... other than beating up the fat kid by the soda machine and taking one of his...

Similar thoughts on my end, though I was thinking more Hida (the kami) or his son, who's name escapes me atm (the First Crab Thunder, that became one of the Lost).

Right there with you. Would love more ashigaru and torikage for using in other games.

I have the same problem with a Ten Thunders Brothers purchase. I have the cards, but they're a bit scratched. I got a note back from Nathan about getting the stat cards from the online store. Ten Thunders is currently not an option there, but he mentioned cracking the whip on the store gremlins to see about getting some more stat cards added.

I would definitely wait for warmer weather. Check the can for suggestions, but I would expect it to tell you you want it at least 10-12 Celcius.

Just... dang. Now I'm wishing you had a tutorial together for this thing.

I would agree with Mako (we hatesess the Mako!) about the contrast on the face, though my bigger complaint is really that the full frontal pic is a bit blurry.

I'll certainly defer to older/more knowledgeable players than myself, but in the "real" Old West, the "coolies" were Chinese.
