❤️GRM/TNT Somewhere in the anals of a tearoom, deep within the oriental district of malifaux, a teapot goes flying through a window. "WHAT DID I F***ING TELL YOU ABOUT GREMLINS MISAKI" Mei Feng Screams, her voice horse with years of pent feelings "WHAT THE F*** DID I TELL YOU? OH, THE FERMENTED RIVERS LIKE HIS BOOZE. WHAT? THEY DON'T LIKE THE 200 WON BOTTLES OF SACRED F*** SHOCHU WE IMPORT FROM THEIR STUPID G****** TEMPLE? Misaki is simply silent, looking at her still slightly warm Matcha. a black laquer Dango plate has been yoten into the stratosphere, through the roof.. "i SEND MY ASSET TO F***MOTHERING KOREA FOR S*** WE COULD BE SELLING, NOT SUPPLYING, SELLING TO THESE CLUELESS F***ING GWIELO FOR A PROFIT THAT COULD PAY THE TORAKAGE FOR A WEEK OFF THE BACK OF ONE F***ING BOTTLE, AND HIS INJURY WAS SEEN AS A NEEDED COST, MEANWHILE WE HAD TO PUT UP WITH SOME WIERD ASS GREEN EARED GOBLIN S***STAIN THAT ABANDONS US BECAUSE HE'S TOO MUCH OF A LITTLE B**** TO MAKE A F***ING BARLEY SPIRIT FOR SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T LOOK LIKE MY MASTIFF'S CHEW TOY? ARE YOU G**D*** KIDDING ME?" things are now flying. Misaki is hesitant to point out that the teahouse may belong to the thunders, but they'll still have to replace the Braisers. and the Serving Trays. and the Walls. Mei has become incoherent to the point where she starts lapsing between Cantonese, Mandarin, and through some miracle of furious tongues, Vietnamese.  the Table has become airborne. The Vase can't be replaced, but it's Yan Lo's anyways, and he won't shave his stupid beard so screw him. "THE TEN THUNDERS GOING INTO THE SWAMP WAS A MISTAKE MISAKI. THE THUNDERS DON'T MAKE MISTAKES, RIGHT MISAKI? IS THAT WHAT YOU F***ING SAID MISAKI?!?" Mei's voice cracked slightly. Misaki knew she earned every second of this. "THE THUNDERS ARE NOT GOING BACK TO THE F***ING SWAMP!"

somewhere outside, a geisha is too paralyzed with fear to move.this was going down as a terrible first day on the job

The thing i love most about this rant is that Mei has her own personal gremlin on payroll, complete with robot pig.

June complete.

2 Swine curse

3 Changelings

and a Mysterious Emissary Proxy.

36ss

Ugh, having troubles uploading my pledge photo, so I'll just have to list it out. Hopefully, come time for finals, the upload will work. Pretty stoked for this months projects. So, for the month I have:

2 Swine cursed (HYEPPPEEEE)

3 Changelings

and a conversion for the Mysterious Emissary

all totaled, it comes to 36ss, and once I get them pigmans done, a whole lot of gremlin games.

*phew* got em done, finally. For this month, I completed Ama No Zako, a Katanaka sniper and 3 Yokai for exactly 31ss. Onward to June, and is that. . . onking i hear? #swinecursed

W.I.P....glueing and filling done...base colours underway...Mounted riders horse is built and filled but with just an undercoat so far so not in the shot....Carlos Vasquez starting to shape up....just as last month am really enjoying seeing other peoples models come together.

 

 

The mounted guard totally looks like she's about to shoot the malifaux version of "Gangnam Style"

Ughhh, looking at all theses lovely models, I gotta get my self in gear and get some paint on some plastic. Gonna continue with the Asami crew this month, starting with a katanaka sniper and Ama no zako. Then I'm gonna start working on the minion summons (tengu, yokai, obsidian oni, and jorogumo). I have a really neat basing idea for the summons that I'm excited to share with you fine folks. Cheers, and happy painting.

Alright, here what I got done on my April pledge. New work schedule kept me from getting as much as i wanted to get done done, but i'm still over 31 stones.

Asami: 15ss

Amanjaku: 3ss

Ohaguro Bettari: 8ss

Wandering River Monk: 4ss

Kamaitachi: 4ss

Total: 34ss, and an asami that can't summon anyting. . . yet! Bring it on May!

Alright here I am, i'm ready to make my pledge.

For April I have:

Asami: 15ss

Amanjaku: 3ss

Ohaguro Bettari: 8ss

3 Yokai: 15ss

3 Obsidian Oni: 18ss

Totaling to: 59ss for the month. 

And the Thunder rolls.

Time to get to it!

@ringsnake I really dig the color scheme for your Lynch crew. Guess they really are . . . darkened

Here's my set. Included are:

(Super) Thunder brother: 5ss

Fart, a nebulous sort of flesh construct: 6ss

Unity, Unity, and Unity, mindless zombies of a hive mind: 2+2+2= 6ss

2 crawling mindless zombies: 2+2= 4ss

Monk of the Wandering River: 7ss

and of course, Archie in his cute rain boots: 13ss

All totaled, that's 41ss of 'faux-y goodness. ONWARD!!!!!! to April.

@wizuriel, If the taxidermy iz done right, the pig should be almost lifelike . That said, looks good. When i did mine, they stayed a bit closer to the living colors than undead shades, just a bit more grey and pallid than my normal piggies. Definitely don't be concerned about makin' em a bit more "fresh". The gunpowder and dynamite makes them more than recognizable.

So here's what I gots:

Flesh Construct (Large Mindless zombie): 6ss

4 Mindless Zombies: 8ss

Thunder Brother: 5ss

Wandering River Monk: 7ss

Archie: 13ss

That'll put me at a total of 39ss if(when) I get it all done this month. 

Emissary level, let's do this! wooooo! 

yah, there are very few instances when I DON'T take merris. For 6ss she's friggin gold

So, if you sacrifice a Stuffed Piglet to the Pigapult's "Bacon Load", is there any way to avoid the "Stuffed with Explosives" ability, or do you just have to suffer the -1 to shooting in exchange for tasty, tasty blasts?

"Voodoo Shoppe" by Cowboy Mouth for Zorida

So here's a fun little interaction i just thought of:

>Bring Ulix with husbandry, and Old Major with a saddle, and a Pigapult
>the saddle allows any non-rooster gremlin within 2" when he declares a move, place into base when Old Major ends his move
>"Welp, load er' up boys we gotta git this catapult movin'"
>Ulix can come along too with hitch a ride. 
> then, after Old Major has gone through all the effort to move Ulix and a FRIGGIN' CATAPULT, Ulix has the Gall to force him to pop out a piglet
>Sacrifice said piglet (as opposed to sacrificing poor Old Major), and unleash your delicious baccony load

Not particularly useful, but amusing to consider a pig hauling around an old, peg-legged gremlin, and a catapult that will launch said (male) pig's sudden future unexpected progeny

with this thought, I kinda like "We Started this Opera Sh*t" for Lucius

"War Pigs" by Cake for Ulix

^ I couldn't agree more

Also, The implications of Som'er's summoning abilities need to be pondered. The original gremlin doen't go anywhere, and the new guy comes out of nowhere. Is it teleportation? Is it cloning/magical fission? Why do they each suffer 2 damage? Is Som'er use magic to split the original on a genetic level, making a spontaneous twin? Does the original target teleport away, find his brother, get into a fight with each other and teleport back? When they do teleport back, are they all hot and covered in black stuff. Important questions

Som'er's hat has so much power that he can tell anybody in the game to "Quit screwin' around!" And they will listen (and not activate their triggers)

I am a particular fan of the Moon Shinobi who is laying on his neck with one bottle balanced on his foot and another on the fingers of one of his hands. I'm sure he's comfortable, but for one who is untrained and un-inebriated, that might be a mite discomforting.
