  1. Pro tip I just heard about. The faction symbols on the Malifaux boxes are just about the right size for 30mm markers. I used a 30mm base as a guide and cut these out with an exacto knife. I ran a very thin bead of super glue around the edge for some durability. You can flip them over and draw corps and scrap markers. I've also been cutting out key parts of the photo for misc markers. Von Schill looks like an Informant to me. I plan on doing the same thing on my Rider boxes with a 50mm base so I'll have some markers for when the riders arrive in SL Campaigns. Seems redundant since I'll obviously have the riders, but then won't have to carry the models just in case we fill that Weekly Event that night.
  2. I've had some issues with the formatting posting here, so I've moved my resource list offsite. Here is a link: https://s3-us-west-2.amazonaws.com/rwzimmerman/Malifaux/Resources.html I'm planning on putting some more resources here and getting a domain name, hopefully sooner than later.

  4. Something a little different today. This is my hobby area. I thought I'd share some of the things I've done to make it convenient to paint. Hopefully some of you find it useful and hopefully some of you can add some to this. Lots of light, as you can see. I didn't want to drill a bunch of holes in my desk so I mounted a 2x4 to the back (the light strip running the length of the desk in the back). Everything that needed to be attached to the desk is attached to this. I drilled holes in the 2x4 for the lamps bases to sit in. All of the wood (2x4 on top of the desk, the "peg-board", the verticle MDF board) are all attached only to the 2x4. All of the lights, my hair dryer (for fast drying minis), etc are all plugged into the power strip (on right) mounted to wall, so I can turn everything off by turning the power strip off. I ripped a 2x4 length wise making a 45 degree cut making a triangle and drilled a bunch of holes in it for a drill bit, cutting wheel, etc, holder. The white tubes are PVC pipe (2" diameter I think) glued together, glued to some MDF and then screwed down to the 2x4. This makes a excellent holder many items as you can see. I think I'm going to make another of these. Here's a close up of the paint shelves. They are made of 1/4 wood. They are held together exclusivity by glue and screwed to the wall. If I can fit a pin in a mini's foot I pin it to the base using a paper clip. So I started leaving the paperclip in and bending the end to make a hook. I used some bamboo kabob skewers to make a little hanging rack for work in progress. This is a very convenient. You can also make a "S" hook to hang misc bits like the hat still on the spru in the middle.
  5. Mercury is done for now. He's too plain. I want to add something to the unitard, I'm just not sure what it will be yet. I'd also like to add tatoos, but again not sure what to add yet. I replaced the plastic bar since I dropped him one and one side snapped off. I really wish wyrd would design their models be to a bit more durable for play. The dumbbells don't seem that week, but the first one I got was almost snapped off when I opened the package. The replacement was white with stress. Not completely happy with the Lone swordsman's eye, but I think it is as good as I can do.
  6. The first Oiran is done. I painted her feet red before I realized she has open toes shoes. I might go back and fix it, but you need a magnafying glass to tell there are supposed to be toes there.
  7. Wiskey Golem is done. You can't tell very well in the photos, but I replaced the wiskey sloshing out of the "head" gremlins mug and the stream running into the "drill" gremlins mouth are translucent. I clipped off the opaque plastic and replaced it with dried clear glue and give it a light coat of sepia wash.
  8. "Teen age" Candy described as being taller than Pandora in the story she appeared in. Other variants of existing models that appeared in the fluff. One avatar for each faction.
  9. All I have left of the brewmasters boxed set is the Fingers now. Then on to the wiskey golem.
  10. Yes. I'm illustrating one example of how the statement below is not true.
  11. Consider a model with Wk 6 and Flight (or incorporeal) in base contact with a tower defined as 10" square base and impassable. If that model could "double walk" (e.g. move 12 inches in a (2) walk action) then they would be able fly over the terrain in one 12" move landing on the opposite side. Since they have to make two 6" walks they cannot fly half way through the tower, stop in impassable terrain, then take theirs second walk to land on the other side. The model would have to land in a legal spot after it's first 6" move. It would not be able to land in some of the positions it could if it did have a (2) walk.
  12. I agree with Adran. If a model is killed by hazardous terrain or falling it does not count as being killed by any crew or model regardless of the source. I think that is clear based on that FAQ. I can see why someone would want clarification that if an ability (which does give a model credit for the kill) generated the falling or hazardous terrain, but I don't see a need for it unless the answer contradicts the existing FAQ entry.

  14. Moon Shinobi one complete. I think I might change the trim color on Wesley to match, but I'm not sure yet.
  15. Yep, totally legal. I've used this before. I haven't done this often, but when I do I usually use other models to break LoS. If my TT Archer is engaged by Enemy X then I move Model Y in between them blocking all LoS an the TT Archer is no longer engaged. On the TT Archers activation it can then either walk away or since it ignores other models for LoS, and doesn't randomize when shooting into engagement it can shoot Enemy X through its own model. This can be a nasty surprise when someone thinks they've neutralized your archer by engaging it.
  16. Wesley "done". I say "done", because minis are never really done. You can always go back and find something to improve. I'm not sure I like the color of the trim, but I haven't figured out anything I like better and after three colors I decided to stop for now. Maybe once I finish the moon shinobi I'll decide on something I like better. I've also noticed with this camera the contrast is a bit low. So the difference between the highlights and the shading less than true life, but the blending is a bit smoother than real life.
  17. She is Living and an Oni, so I'm guessing she is human but "sensitive" to oni, possessed, or some such, similar to the human Kirai and spirits, tough she isn't a spirit.
  18. Thanks for posting this on a holiday!
  19. Brew Master is done. Very happy with him. Best job I think I've every done painting eyes.
  20. Finished my first TT bro. This is one of my the model I like best of any thing I've done recenlty. I haven't figured out a color scheme for the other two yet. I think I'm going to work on the brewmaster next.
  21. Thanks. The cobble stone bases are custom. Using Miliput putty. They are pretty easy to make, but a bit time consuming. My original plan was to make themed bases for each faction. I decided on the cobblestones for TT (my faction). That was before I understood how much crossover there was between factions, especially TT. So I ended up doing all my bases like this. Probaby wouldn't have done something so time consuming if I'd realized I'd be doing every Malifaux model like this.
  22. As much as I wish it where otherwise I think the Enemy model needs to be in range. The way I interpreted it you don't even need a friendly model in the mix. E.g. Enemy_A focuses, attacks and does sever damage to Enemy_B. Enemy_B is within the aura so the attack gains a + I would much prefer it if I could stand my snipers next to this guy and blast 28" away, but i don't think it works that way, and that is probably a good thing.
