I go with a pretty drab scheme: Citadel Waaagh! Flesh base, Warboss Green highlight, and Athonian Camoshade shade.

I could see a group of religious pilgrims who believe Malifaux is their promised land. They live outside the city in the wastelands, mostly battling for survival against neverborn/gremlins/malifaux animals/the elements/everything else and thus are damn tough and not looking to live under the Guild's (or anyone else's) thumb.

One final thing about Ulix. He is often held up as one of - if not THE - cleverest gremlins... just as Ulysses was the most clever, inventive, and tricky of the greek heroes at Troy. Also, didn't see it mentioned before: could Silurids be a reference to the Silurians of Doctor Who? Or just to the Silurian Period (443 - 419 million years ago - the time when life first migrated to the land).

Just one polite bump for a last minute reminder. Maloween starts in One Hour!

These are brilliant. This is similar to how I was considering basing my own gremlins. Now that I see how good it looks I'm definitely going ahead.

Since reading this thread I have switched to plastic cement (currently using the GW stuff as it's what I had on hand - once that runs out I'll be looking into cheaper alternatives) and I have noticed a drastic decrease in the frustration level of some of the models I've been assembling. That extra grace period before it sets up completely really helps.

Ulix seems to be based a bit on Ulysses/Odysseus - his dog Penelope has the same name as Ulysses' wife and his position as master of pigs could refer to either the incident on Circe's island where Ulysses' crew was turned into pigs or to the fact that the swineherd was one of the two servants who remain loyal and helped him take back his house. EDIT: Oh, an he's got that bow too.

I had planned to take advantage of the fact that physical height doesn't matter and sculpt some big venus flytraps.

Did anyone else's Ophelia not come with a hat? EDIT: Never mind. It did have a hat. It had just come off the sprue and I mistook it for something else and tossed it in my bits box.

I'm not sure if this is true everywhere, but the Michael's where I live (San Diego) sells a line of diorama products called "Missions of California" for modelling old Spanish missions. The scale is a little off from Malifaux BUT, one of the products in the line is a thin plastic sheet molded in the shape of spanish style roofing tiles. All you would need to do is cut out the right size, maybe build some sort of support underneath to give it an angle, and paint it up.

Also... just... this: [edit] hmm. can't seem to embed. Well here's the URL:

It's definitely interesting, and certainly better evidence - even circumstantial - than there has been for almost anyone else. Just a long way from the "case closed" that certain media outlets are making it out to be.

I would say wait for independent labs to verify this guy's findings. And even then, it only really proves that Kosminski... associated with the victim. Not necessarily that he killed her or anoyne else.

Beautiful renders, but I fear that barbed wire.
