Where It All Began I've been collecting Malifaux since back in Feb 2012, with my first crews all being Resurrectionists; starting with Kirai then moving onto Nicodem & finally Yan Lo. I loved Ressurectionists, being able to possibly finish the game with more models than you started off with really appealed to me. Then the M2E Beta hit..... At this point I decided to not play Ressers anymore, deciding that I would prefer to learn new masters than having to relearn old ones. My first box set was Lynch, which was VERY nasty during the Beta to say the least!! Cutting a long story short, Lynch was the start of my Journey with the Neverborn, rapidly gaining a large collection of models, both new plastics and old metals. So rapidly, that a lot of my models are only basecoated. So this is where this thread comes in..... My New Years Resolution is to get ALL my Neverborn fully painted. According to my Model Tracker it appears that out of the 62 models I own, only 18 of them are painted, leaving 44 models which need to be completed. So lets get started shall we!!!!

I played the new 3 player ritual strategy in the new scheme and start deck and found you only need a 11+ with tannen with near the ritual marker. Being the defender, and with a good turn 1 hand I managed to Summon 2 teddies because of this

I probably know the answer to this question but can the Doppleganger mimic the voodoo dolls sewn fate. The way I read it I thought you could, because the actual action is not listing a model by name is it the condition given by the action. I think I'm probably completely over reading it but your guys opinions would help

Maybe I'll be able to come to this one. Aaron always seems to plan these events when I'm away. I think its on purpose. why don't you want me play Aaron. ....WHY!!!

It did hit the fan pretty quick for pandora. This was my second game with collodi and I was shocked by how brutal he was. The arcane effigy is a massive boost to damage and a great way to burn the opponents hand.

Deployment - Standard Strategy - Reckoning Scheme Pool - Line in the sand - Breakthrough - Protect Territory - Murder Protegee - Vendetta ------------------------------ Terrain Setup The scenery was setup to resemble a mall western tow, with 1 shop near the edge of both deployment zones. A church to the west and some gallows in the centre of the town. There were various small bts of scatter terrain to proide cover if needed. ------------------------------ Pandora - The Box Opens - Fears Given Form Candy - Depression Teddy Burt Jebson Dopplegager Primordial Magic Widow Weaver Schemes - Protect Territoy (announced) - Murder Protegee (announced) ------------------------------ Collodi - Threads of Fate - Fated Vasilisa - A Friend In Me 4 Marionettes 3 Wicked Dolls Stitched Together Arcane Effigy Schemes - Protect Territory (announced) - Murder Protegee (announced) ------------------------------ Turn 1 Turn 1 consisted of both crews converging on the gallows in the centre in the centre of the board. Teddy, Widow Weaver and Candy went to the east side of the gallows with Pandora, the Doppleganger and Burt going around the west side. Collodi's crew moved up the centre of the board, with Collodi pushing Vasilisa intoa suitable position to Obey Teddy, making him hit the Widow Weaver causing 3 wounds. Therest of te puppets moed forward placing scheme markers ro prtoect territory. The Stiched Together got pushed into range by the Marionettes and inflicted 4 wounds onto Teddy but damaging itself for 3 in the process. Overall asurprisingly damaging turn 1 Collodi - 0vp Pandora - 0vp ------------------------------ Turn 2 Turn 2 saw the Stitched Together activaating first, finising off Teddy and gaining 3 points for Murder Protegee. The Widow Weaver then activated attempting to finish off the Stitched Together to get revenge for the fallen Teddy. Widow Weaver dropped the Stitched to one wound who immediately Reactivated killing the Widow Weaver with a severe damage flip, gaining another victory point from Reckoning. Burt and a minicked Doppleganger killed a Wicked Doll ony to have Collodi summonit back. Pandora moved forwards to try and do some damage but sadly failed due to high cheated cards on Collodi's behalf. The Arcance Effigy gives Collodi Radiance, which ges spread around to all his puppets. Collod uses Pull my Strings twice on Candy, gettin triggers off for both slow and letting me do (1) action with her. Candy activates, who is made to walk closer to the puppets and then wails at the stitched togetherkillingit to get a point fo Reckoning. Vasilisa Obeys Candy who again walks as cose as she can and then obeys a Wicked Doll to do a hit on candy causin a wound. The doll then activats doin2 more wounds and finally giving burning Candy due to the other player running out of cards. 2 more puppets join the fight but only manage to do one more wound and giving one more burning. The rest of the Wicked Dolls and Marionettes charge Burt reducing him to one wound. At the end of the turn Burtdies fro both burning and poison and Candy is dropped to one wound from the same conditions. Collodi - 4vp Pandora - 1vp ------------------------------ Turn 3 Turn 3 saw Pandora winning iniative with Candy activaating and healing herself up fully and then Vasilisa moving into Melee with Pandora, placing Collodi into range as well and then hitting Pandora, which was made a little easier thanks to Vasilisa's -1wp aura. Pandora activates killing 2 puppets for Reckoning. Collodi then activates dropping Pandora dow to 4 wounds and then accompolced a Wicked Doll who then charges and kills the Primordial Magic. The rest of the puppets gang up on both Candy and Pandora, with Pandora faling to severe damage flip from a Marionette, givin Collodi another 1vp for Reckoning. Candy is beat up some more and at the end of the turn is dropped to 2 remaining wounds due to poison ad burning. Collodi - 5vp Pandora - 2vp ------------------------------ Turn 4 Turn 4 sees Candy (the only remaining model alive in Pandora's crew) get initiative and attempts to kill two puppets for Reckoning. This unfortunately fails due to high cards cheated in on the puppets behalf. The dolls surrounding Candy finally killing her wiping Pandora's Crew off the board completely. The remaining dolls start moving and dropping scheme markers for Protect Territoy. END OF GAME SCORE Collodi - 9vp Pandora - 2vp ------------------------------

I'll see you there always up for a spot of malifaux

Ok so today I decided to mess around with making bases for my Lilith Crew. I decided to go with forest themed bases cos.....well she lives in/ likes the forest. This is the completed base (except for blacking round the lip!) Sorry in advance for the poor picture quality, had to take them off my camera today! Those leaves are actually sage and oregano dried herbs which I have soaked in a brown wash. Lukily the wash and matt varnish actually locks in the smell! Finally here is Lilith on her base. I am now really happy with her. Since her last showing, ive lightened her skin a little, as well as attempt to do her eyes. Its kinda worked.... Finally I've completed the Terror Tots. These I am REALLY happy with. Theyv've come out very well. Just gotta make bases for them then they will be perfect. My next projects will be to paint up Barbaros and the Cherub. Im not sure what paint schemes to do them in tho. I thought of doing them like the Terror Tots, but would that be too much red? You guys help would be great!

Since the release of the M2E Beta i've stretched away from Ressers and moved more towards both T10 and Neverborn. I recently got the New Lilith crew and the first things I noticed was how amazing the models actually are. Although this is the case I would say that the instructions actually seemed to be a little rushed, as each model was on individual pieces of paper instead of the nicely laid out instructions that came with the Lady J (i don't own it but had to make it before my LFGS went to Essen for a convention). Anyway instead of rambling I'll show u my efforts at painting Lilith. I think she turned out ok. This is also the first time i tried non mettalic metals but I think it turned out ok. I'll post more progress as I complete more models. Ill also post my Lynch and Misaki crew as soon as they come back from their travels to Essen! I hope you enjoyed. Feedback would be greatly welcomed. Thanks for reading

Perfect thankyou. Dunno how I missed that one!

I've looked through the forums but havnt been able to find anything. I was playing a game the other night, Misaki vs Ophelia, and we came across a situation where in combat Ophelia triggered 'squeal' ,pushing 4", and Misaki triggered 'next target' also pushing 4". Now my question is this. Who triggers first? I've trawled through the M2e rulebook and can't find anything. Can anyone shed some light on this

Quite a good write up. Although she can be made quite defensive I find it hard to realise why. I've played misaki all the way from the start of the beta (decided to start a new master for a new edition). I've never found a decent situation where she has had to been made primarily defensive. Yes she may need to be defensive at certain times but I find retreating her back and using Shang's heal to get her back up. I'll still give defensive a try and see what I think

Sadly I am away that weekend. O well hopefully next time

I'll be there also helping out with the Malifaux demos. If you are new to the game and want to know what its all about, or want to see the upcoming changed of M2E, pop along and I'm sure either Forestreverie of myself can help. See you there. Ross

OK, so it's been quite a while since I posted so here is an update! I've managed to complete Nicodem's crew, which so far comprises of; Mortimer 3 x punk zombie (only 2 in the picture below as one's sword snapped as i got it out of the case!) 2 x canine remains 1 x flesh construct Overall I am pleased with the look of them, although I now think the bases are far too light so will work on those at some point. Since then I've managed to pick up Yan Lo's crew and even got Izamu a few days ago! Here's my progress so far! Unfortunately Chiaki hasn't turned out that well, as my final spray of varnish made the paint bubble off and during the stripping process have lost a little bit of detail on her face. I tihnk she looks good at a distance but upclose the lack of face detail does become apparent. Also yes, Yan Lo is missing his beard!! It seems that it fell off the sprue in the box and couldn't find it anywhere! (and only really noticed once I finished painting her) So it looks as if he has a really shocked expression! Where is Izamu u ask? well here he is in progress. I'm waiting for some bases come in the post before I can start basing him (he should easily be completed by then) I think the red armour is looking good, tying in nicely with the ashigaru! So that's where I am at so far! Up next I really want to get Toshiro as he is a really nice model and can tie in nicely with both Nicodem & Yan Lo. There is a campaign starting at our local gaming club, in which I am participating as part of the Ten Thunders! We're starting off with just the box sets then progressing from there, starting with 25ss then increasing in incriments of 10 each week. Because of this I am tempted to get some Ten Thunders Archers. They are really nice models so hopefully they play as nicely as they look! Anyway thanks for your interest and I hope you like! As always C&C is welcome!

The main reason Kirai's crew is so vivid is the nature of the models, with bold bright oriental colours. I don't think I'll keep these vivid colours through the rest of my Ressers (except for maybe Yan Lo when I get him). The main reason for this is because the other crew do have a very dark nature to them (such as Nicos and McMournings crew). Seamus' crew could be vivid but ill have to decide that when I get it. While i'm on here I may as well give you a few updates. I've decided to do all the zombies and the flesh construct at the same time (to ensure i get the skin more or less the same on the models). So far i've finished the flesh construct, 1 punk zombie and a mindless zombie meaning i've got 2 more punk and mindless zombies. Then I have Mortimer to do! Should hopefully get this done in time for Salute.... Again sorry for no pictures but the lighting has been bad due to the terrible weather!

SOLD!!! i love that idea. That would be quality! idea stolen!

Thankyou. In real life Kirai's red is more of a deep orange (or its supposed to be anyway!) Regards the freehand on the back of the onyro, kirai and the back of the avatar. Its actually my first attempt at freehand and I think i am quite pleased by them. The freehand on the onyro is supposed to be oriental style vines, and it is actually my favourite freehand ive done (i really love the white and turquoise contrast! Kirai's freehand is actually supposed to be an oriental dragon, which isn't really shown well in the picture! The avatar's freehand is supposed to be the chinese symbol for 'death'. This is also the same symbol that the dead Kirai is lying on. I initially wanted to do the symbol for 'Resurrection' but since its 3-4 symbols long I gave it a miss. Stop giving me ideas!!1! only joking, its great advice. I think i'll probabily green stuff it. Make his cloths more raggy aswell as rot his flesh. Not sure how im going to do this as its all thoughts at the moment. I really dont want to amputate the models, as I already really like the look of Mr Graves! If anyone else has any ideas that would be great!

Ok, just to let people know where I am currently at following my last post. Well I've been busy painting my Nicodem's crew along with a few extra Ressers to help him on his journeys. So far I've managed to paint his vulture totem along with 2 canine remains. I've started all the zombies (3 punks, 3 mindless and a flesh construct), with their skin more or less finished. Once I've got them finished it onto Mortimer then I am ready for Salute next week! After these are finished in thinking of a conversion for a flesh contruct. My main thinking behind this is I am personally not a fan of the current flesh construct models (nothing against the models themselves its just my opinion). Because of this I am thinking of somehow converting Mr. Graves into a flesh construct. I believe that he already has a slight flesh constructy look about him, and his wooden beatstick fits in with their whole image! Sorry for no pictures but the lighting is a bit poor at 21:00 to get any good pictures! Hopefully ill get some pictures of my current progress tomorrow. If so i'll get them posted!

Over the last 6 weeks I have been busy learning Malifaux, along with painting the minis that come with playing the game. Here are some pics of where I am up to. Some of the pictures have come out slightly blurred in some areas as I am having trouble setting up my new camera. I hope you enjoy Kirai & her Crew Kirai's & Onyro's back Kirai's Avatar Nicodem As you can probabily see my main crew is Kirai. To be honest she was pretty daunting to learn to play with but now i really enjoy playing her (not sure if my mates enjoy playing against her though!! :bomb: More of Nicodem's Crew will be coming soon. I hope you like!
