If there is enough interest I could always try and add some more tickets again.

Just waiting on final list but barring anyone changing their mind this is sold out. Rules pack shouldn't change other than if I spot anymore spelling errors. From the 1st of June I'll start getting the prizes in place and letting people whats on other. The shop and a few of the locals are kindly helping with terrain and set up but anyone who want to help out is more than welcome.

Open to everyone, the more the merrier. Support is always welcome but play if you prefer. All outsiders are considered a bit shifty, not trust worthy like us cockneys. (ignore the fact I'm an Essex boy).

Big plans but nothing set in stone yet.

A quick painting session produced these two charmers. A couple of crooked men to be summoned in by Nico. You may notice one has a slightly different head as it seemed a shame no to use it. I'm taking a bit of a break from painting Malifaux until I can pick up the Molly box and add some much needed crooligans to my crew. I'll probably be painting a few infinity minis while I wait so it might be a gap until my next post.

The list so far as I know it. Andreas Frisch B CROWE Barry Smith Bradley Downing Chris Fernandez-Packham 2x Conor Rooney Frances Overton James Fisher John Burgess John Burgess John Dennis Luke Spence-Grundy Matthew Cole Mr Adam Smith Stuart Snares Stuart Snares TIM PORTER 2 x William Malcolm

Chasing Dark Sphere for the list, won't be too long hopefully.

9 tickets left.

Places now raised to 28. As of writing this there are 12 tickets left. http://www.darksphere.co.uk/p.php?p=61084

The face is very flat, I think a brighter colour and then a few stages of highlight might bring it to life. I'm almost tempted to bring the robes back to a mid green and just add the faintest of shading and as you say let the face be the focus of the model.

I have added Ama No Zako to the Kirai party. I'm not happy with the finish on Ama, from the moment I sat down to paint her I wasn't focused as kept making silly mistakes until I let myself get frustrated and rushed the finish. I'll leave her as is for the time being. (might teach me to pay more attention next time) The whole group together looks a bit nicer.

Tickets for this sold out very quickly. There is a chance we could add some more places is there any interest , did anyone miss out on a ticket and is still keen to sign up.

Ticket purchased. Now I just need a rocky style training montage to avoid the wooden spoon.

After a very late night of painting I have finished the Kirai box set. I painted Kirai in one sitting, the plan was to sit and block out some base colours but I just kept going after that and then it was morning and she was done. Next up will be Ama No Zako to sit in as hench-Oni with this crew, she is built now I need to clean up some lines and marks then I can start painting. Kirai - Not too happy with the face, from the right angle it looks great but any other angle not so good. The crew all together. I'm still trying to stay all plastic with the ressers so she will have a slightly limited summoning pool of these and hanged but run with a more elite main crew that should be enough.

Some more work done on the Kirai box, Ikyrio is finished. Its just the main Lady herself to go now. I'm still undecided on how I want to paint Kirai, I want something darker than the rest of the crew I was thinking black or very dark red as she's in mourning. Maybe really dark for the clothes but bright for the skin and hair to have some contrast. And the crew so far.

Sixteen players signed up so far. This kicks off next week if you want to sign up just let me know.

I'm up for this, who can say no to a bit of Essex-faux. On the subject of pre-announced schemes and strats I think the current system works. Either at the start of the day or if the is a pool pre announced just the strat in advance. If you are a new player I'd suggest building two different lists and see which strats and schemes works for each list, then match your list to the scheme pool on the day. this will cover you until you are confident building lists on the hop.

Thanks for the comments. I got a bit more painting done last night. Not too happy with it, the green was a bit of an after thought. When I was almost finished I decided it was missing something and just kept adding and adding green. Lesson learned - know when to walk away. It'll do for now as it doesn't look to bad when its with the rest of the crew, I'll decide if I want to fix it later.

Making progress of the Kirai box, two Onryo and two Seshien done. Really enjoying the crew so far, lots of fun to paint managing to get a nice bright finish without losing all the detail.

While waiting for some greenstuff to set on Kirai I painted up this little fella. Really quick and simple but happy with how it turned out. I might need a few more of these soon as I plan on running Nicodem for an up comming league.

Its been a while since I managed to get some painting done but I've finally got back in the hobby groove. Firstly I did some simple head markers for the gaining ground Headhunter strat Next I had fun painting up YIn with plenty of blood effect. And also Izamu. The idea with him was to look more like a Terracotta warrior than a samurai didn't work perfectly but I like the finished job. The current project is Kirai and her spirits lovely models but will need plenty of greenstuff to tidy them up. Hopefully I'll be able to keep up a steady flow of painting and have some of these finished soon.
