Yeah I checked on that and she can take up to 4 models with the last blossom keyword as well as last blossom upgrades. Sweet, thanks for the input guys.

Going to my first tourney this Saturday and had a quick question. I plan on playing the Outcast faction at the event and I want to play Misaki, but I don't know if the crew that comes in her box count as Outcast too. I know she's dual faction but when it comes to picking her as a Master for the Outcast faction do the models that come in her crew box also count as Outcast or are they strictly 10 Thunders with the mercenary trait?

Haha, yeah I guess I should specify a bit more. First crew was Lady Justice and her folks. I wound up buying 3 more crews after that, Sonnia and Sammy boy there are obviously from a different crew. I wound up picking up the Torch and the Sword, Outcasts, and the Thunder crews also.

Hey all, just recently got into Malifaux a few weeks ago. Walked into the store to talk about infinity and walked out with my first Malifaux crew. Just recently had the chance to actually play the game and I am completely sold on the overall package, never played anything quite like it. I love the dark setting and how it feels like they just threw everything they loved into one game and said "have at it". The models themselves are just absolutely fantastic, they've inspired me to actually paint them. Normally it feels like a chore trudging through my 40k backlog but Wyrd models are actually really fun to paint. So much that I wanted to share and see if I can get some constructive criticism. Thanks all. Sonnia and Samael Death Marshals and the Judge I still need to do the basing of course. I actually painted the Marshals and the Judge before Sonnia and Samael.

Are you talking about the Viktorias? That whole crew will be a first for me. Going to have tot ake my time and be patient because that is a lot more skin than I am used to painting and lots of faces.

Thanks so much! I'll be putting those tips to use very soon, just assembled the Outcast crew box. I generally stayed away from helmetless space marines because I had so much trouble with the eyes when I painted 40k, but Malifaux models are worthy of me learning how to actually paint the eyes. I use primarily Army Painter brushes so I'll give the character brush a try. Probably going to take some time to get it right but I'll definitely thin out the paints as to avoid obscuring the details as you suggested. Thanks for the advice.

I really dig your paint style, it looks amazing. Can I ask you how you did the eyes on Marcus and what size brush you use?

Personally I prefer working with a black basecoat versus a white, but that is because I mainly work with darker colors and that means fewer layers. When I painted 40K I would try and do batches or full squads, but this is incredibly tedious and I would quickly grow bored. Painting Malifaux miniatures is more to my attention and paint style as I can focus on just one model since I know the next one I will be painting will be different and full of it's own character. Gives you more of a sense of accomplishment to look at a finished product, quicker gratification than trying to work on 5 at a time. I highly recommend picking a color sheme for each crew you work with, nothing fancy just a few colors that your models will have in common. This will make it much easier when figuring out how you want to paint each model. Experiment with washes as they will help bring out shading and give different efects to the same color. For example I painted my Death Marshalls primarily brown, this includes their coffins, but I used the GW red wash on their coats, boots, and gloves to give it a leather look and I used Nuln Oil on the coffins to give a wooden appearance. If you have an old miniature around use that as your test model to see the different effects before you apply it to one you are actually going to paint.

I piggy backed off of someone's intro yesterday, but I figured I'd throw my own out there. Longtime 40K player and I just recently started getting into skirmish style games thanks to backing Deadzone on Kickstarter. I happened to pop in to my FLGS to pick up some primer and I actually took the time to look at the Malifaux models.... they look amazing so I picked up the Justice crew box. They are a bit trickier than other model lines to put together but man are they fun to paint. 2 weeks later and I have 2 crews put together and 1 painted with 2 more crews on the way. I picked up the terraclips Sewers of Malifaux set and I am looking to get into Malifaux in a big way. Time to start downsizing my 40k collection......I need to start making room. I am still incredibly impressed with how good the models look.

Hey guys, I just wanted to piggy back on this post. I recently picked up the Justice and the Torch and Sword crews and have them put together and have the Outcast crew and The Thunder crew coming in the mail. I live in San Diego in the Rancho Bernardo area and am looking for a Malifaux community to game with. I just requested to join Socal Malifaux on facebook. I haven't played an actual game yet, though I am looking forward to it.
