Holy crap, I've  just figured out that this is 500 bucks spent on Malifaux last year, and this only directly from Wyrd, not counting my LGS and online retailers. 

This is why I don't add it all up

Plus, you know, reaper minis, GW minis, more factions in Malifaux... yeah, ignorance is bliss

Hey all, I'm working on an idea for Malifaux terrain that's the Great Breach. I was wondering if there were any pics or descriptions that I may have missed in my googling and reading the rule book? I'm not looking for something exact, just some inspiration etc.

What I'm hoping to do is come up with a portal that on one side you see a distorted version of what's in Malifaux, and on the other, a distorted view of Earth. Anyway if anyone has any comments or suggestions, I'd love to hear it!

thanks!

WIP of Sammy LaCroix

wow first off those are some beautiful gremlins! I wish my blending looked as nice

and Omenbringer that's some awesome advice! I need it too, as I tend to paint really dark figures and always seem to have issues getting good photos (not the cameras fault, it's a nice one, it's definitely user error hehe)

RE: lightbox, just noting how I did mine. I used artists tracing paper, mostly on account that's what I had on hand, that was semi translucent without being too thick. It seems to work great tbh. I also used a piece of foamboard I cut into rectangles (I wanted my box a bit wider for terrain pieces so went with 14"). Then I just cut out an inner rectangle, leaving a "frame" of about an inch. The bottom I left solid of course for stability. Whole thing prolly cost me however much the foamboard was, maybe $7 max?

I like your clip on light arrangement! but agree there really should be one in front pointing up, that's pretty much what seems to work for me. (I need more lights on the side but it's an ongoing project like most things)

Anyway, looking forward to seeing more of your wonderful work!

*edit* forgot! got a little carried away, and meant to mention: paint the sides of your box there white as well. My first lightbox was exactly like that, I just covered the sides with paper or painted it white, forget which. Unfortunately, being a box, it attracted its nemesis, our affectionatedly named Scrappy Destroyer of Worlds and Armies, aka - a cat. The box attempted to cheat fate, but nothing is stronger than the If I Fits, I sits, subrule Anyway, lol, it helps to keep the sides white to bounce the light off. 

I really want to make the trip up to one soon, just to check it out if nothing else

Yeah, as long as it's not a Baby-fit Tee, or what ever those ones are called with the slimmer cuts that.. simply don't fit a male torso.

But wearing pink?  Definitely not an issue.

Yeah, well the baby doll t's ain't that great for a ahem mature female torso either - at least not so's I'm comfy wearing it!

nicely done!

they're very gritty and almost surreal

awesome work! really liking your colours!

Hum well this is interesting but I dunno. I tend to bounce around a lot in what I'm working on (Malifaux, Warhammer, 40k, just miniatures, terrain, etc).

Some WIP shots - got Somer almost done, Slophaulers and started seriously working on skeeters.

Very nice skin tones! love the denim too

beautiful work, love your Mis ery and those bases are the bomb!

Loooove the pigs! especially they look awesome

Got some more done on my crew - need to finish the face of the guy in the red hat >< I didn't realize til I took this pic that I'd forgotten to highlight him =/ Had a lot of problems getting the arms/gun and such to match up =/ at least they're on now sigh. Hoping they stay on!

all of them are beautiful, really like the effigy and the wings excellent execution!

Sooooo I am very excited!! Yes, yes I just had to share

I was walking into our LGS yesterday and what do I see?? omg two peeps playing Malifaux! So I rushed over there (they prolly thought I was a nut, but I've not seen anyone playing, like ever) and find out the one guy's going to apply for Henchman status and start running games! Sqqqqqueeee! Malifaux Mondays =D coming in like March, which hopefully will give me enough time to finish off my Gremlins, or at least enough of them to play

So, yeah, very excited!! Soon I will be bugging you all with rules questions

Just updating with based pictures of Lenny, in his 'home' display board and in my lightbox.

Love the dolls and the witchling stalkers especially!

Very nice work! love it

Lol that's a great cartoon
 

Here's a shot of Lenny, almost done, I'm just working on highlighting the pig, finishing the log and err there was something else, anyway still need to get proper lighting but at least it's a bit less dark than above. (I tend to make miniatures very darkly painted so it doesn't help)

your work and paint jobs are amazing! Love it, especially the conversions

So if we wanted to use the light theme, is there a way to change the font colour to something not so blendy-in?

Wow um new board hard to read

Anywho, wanted to update this briefly with my WIP pics of Lenny. I was not happy with the pig so I started over. Chucked Lenny into the green cleaner and redid. I changed his pants to a more khaki colour as well. I'd like them to look more like canvas, rather than denim. My plan for the shirt is to add a UGA symbol, or the "G" for the dawgs, onto it, since it's kinda a Georgia themed Gremlin thing I got going I'm hankering to do a kinda of neckerchief/bandana look on the cloth on his left arm but not really sure how to go about it. Also, wondering if it's best to do details before highlights or vice versa (in this case). Oh and his hats on the table, I haven't actually glued it yet, wanted access to his face.

(not a great pic sorry, I need to get some in the lightbox again)
