These are absolutely beautiful. You've inspired me to do the rail crew! What orange did you use and are the 2E cards available yet?

"Mid tone dip" is the Army Painter Strong Shade dip (although I never dip miniatures, the shade is liberally painted on with a thick brush): http://www.firestormgames.co.uk/army-painter The dip is much thicker than ink washes and flows into details better. It dries gloss so needs a coat of matt varnish. Some people hate the stuff, but I've found it gives fantastic results on all sorts of figures (from Warmachine to Napoleonics).

Is there something somewhere that enables you to print out Strategy and Scheme cards - would reallly help and save time continually looking things up. Thanks in advance.

Just started Malifaux before Xmas. I actually haven't played a game yet but I have painted up a boxed set: Rasputina and the Wendigo were done with washes over white undercoat then mid tone dip followed by a little highlighting. The ice golem was a wash of GW Lothern Blue over white followed by gradual highlighting up to white. Bases were just little bits of slate from a garden centre plus sand sunk into a polyfilla/PVA mix. Snow was GW snow effect (made a paste of the snow in PVA then sprinkled more snow on top). Now to play ...
