  1. That.. is awesome!

     

    Love playing with my kids - although they can be quite hard to keep on track (mine are older and competitive) but they also do come up with ideas you'd never think of. It sounds like you're off to a great start with your daughter! She's obviously got a great imagination.

     

    Also, just have to say - I adore mouselings! The eyes are really good on yours especially. I usually try to paint them more like human, now I realize that doesn't really fit them. I like the way you did it better. I may well steal that idea! :)

  2. Well storage atm consists of sticking on a shelf and praying the cat doesn't try to climb it =/ I haven't found a good solution. I have plans to actually make a kind of pull out drawer system, but that's all it is atm, plans. I haven't taken any of my terrain with me anywhere. I actually only take a mat, a blank one we draw on. It's really boring to play with though. I'm planning on buying some storage totes after Christmas and fiddling with variations of filler to see what works.

    So yeah not real helfpul either - anyone who actually successfully stores/transports speak up now ;))

  3. Here are my bad boys, the wyld boars, complete. Not completely happy with the transition between brown fur and pink skin but it's always a learning process. Mostly the ruff on their backs came out the way I wanted - the blue, exactly so, the other two less so. Still they look very wyld which was my intention. And the bases are junkyard theme, which will be in keeping with my next board.

    ^^ This one corner of my display board, that I started making to show off my as yet to be completed models. I also have posted this previously on the wyrd place fb group so if you've seen it before that is probably why :)

    T'other side of the board - home to the all important Still! Behind some flimsy camoflage lol

    View of the still. I made it with a piece of cork (covered by plasticard), a button, a bit of a wooden dowel, and the metal tubing is a paper clip I messed with quite a bit. I made some 'bolts' on the still, with paint, added some weathering powder for soot - first time I used it so I wanted to experiment a bit. I did a little coal fire under the whole still, sitting on a metal frame (matchsticks). The rocks are bits of cork left over from cutting out the rounds for the bases.

    ^^ Here's a little collage of the outhouse.

    here's the pigpen: (well it might fit Gracie. I didn't realize the wild boars for instance came on the bigger bases ><)

    here's a close up of my fave part, the trough:

    The idea is kind of a 'omg what would gremlins actually feed their pigs?!' here so I took some bits of left over sprue, some hotglue, and realistic water and came up with a trough of unmentionables.

     

    While the inspiration for the whole board is pretty obviously the bayou, I also got a lot of inspiration from living here in Georgia. The base was coated with burnt sienna, to help try to portray the red clay soil we have here. If I'd kept the foliage the way it really ought to be, based on how it grows here in wild areas, you'd never see the board lol so I tried to add just enough to help liven it up some.

    Already working on my concept for its next component, being as how I just bought a bunch more Gremlins that won't fit on this board lol but first I promised myself I'd actually build and finish some of the Bayou box I already have.

  5. I really like the Gremlins, the models appeal and their antics as well, but I'm still very very newb to malifaux so I'm just looking for any direction about a good set to start with and build from. I know, I know a common topic, sorry =/ it's just very confusing. Maybe someone has a thought about pros and cons of certain leaders? thanks for any help

  6. hullo all!

     

    Been trying to discover more about this game for a while now since I came across a reference to it in a miniature painting tutorial on youtube and I really really liked the minis used. And because basically it seems to combine just about everything I enjoy lol

     

    Anyway, so the question that pops to mind, as I'm perusing the resources is about the factions. I haven't a rulebook yet, and I'm still reading the resources so I do apologize if this is answered somewhere and I simply missed it.

     

    What I want to know is can a faction crew fight against another crew of the same faction?

     

    This will likely be extremely important for picking my crews because I'll be also picking for my two of my sons, who're also interested in the game, and, knowing my luck, they'll all want the same faction or something lol

     

    thanks in advance!
