Its always a good day on the forums when you've been to a tournament, your reports are very good reads for a beginner like myself.

I plan on running a few demo games using the two player starter set with my friends, to get a Malifaux group up and running. I'd like to be able to run a few 35SS games with crews based on the starter models. Which models would you recommend for expanding the Guild crew into a 35SS henchman led crew?

Preferably just 1 box set and 1-2 boxes of minions.

For reference I've got the Dreamer and Pandora boxes, plus Mr. Graves and Mr. Tannen to expand the Neverborn crew.

Identifying and eliminating key models in your opponents summoning machine can be important too. Killing Mortimer will hurt Nicodem, killing Phillip and the Nanny could leave Kirai or Molly starved for cards.

Another way to go is to exhaust or deny the summoning engine fuel. If you field lots of easy to kill constructs against Ramos or low wound living models against Nicodem, you're making it easier for your opponent. Often trying to eliminate key pieces can drain cards or soul stones, which most summoning engines need.

I get 42 Soul Stones when I add up your list, using http://bythetree.net/

Since Rasputina has a initial cache of 3, so you cant add more than 4 stones to the cache.

Generally the only upgrades in boxes, are those that only the models in the boxes can take.

You need the Generalist Upgrade Deck: http://giveusyourmoneypleasethankyou-wyrd.com/collections/m2e-books-accessories/products/wyr20010

Read up on the different factions on pull my finger and then I'd take a closer look at The Brewmaster, who is dual faction Gremlins/10 Thunders.

I hope we get a female alt or nightmare version.

If you're going with the "attack teams" Mr. Tannen and Mr. Graves looks like a good combo and if your bringing Baby Kade, consider a Teddy too. Kades ability to push a Teddy 6" sounds pretty nasty.

Here's a low quality zoom on the neck, I can make out a bandaged chin, mouth and nose. I'm firmly in the "Skull hat" camp though using the skull itself as the head and adding Death Marshal type flames to it (and possibly a hat) could look cool.

I didn't start gaming until around 03' and 04' so, Coat'd'Arms would have been before my time. So, they basically their pot style now is the same or similar to P3. I started out with the hard plastic, bolter shell shaped pots which were trash.

Coat'd'Arms are still in business, Hasslefree miniatures carry the whole line http://www.hfminis.co.uk/shop?category=accessories~paints-%252d-coat-d%27arms

1. Hodgepodge - I think its a bit odd as an emissary, but it oozes character and has so many great detail. I think I spotted some squashed roses somewhere.

2. Brutal - the sword is a bit meh but easily fixed (so it doesnt detract too much), the cage is very characterfull. Love the skull.

3. Carrion – I’m not sure about the teeth on the beak, they looked better in the artwork. It’s a big crow!

4. Mysterious – it fits in well with the Swamp fiend theme of the faction, not so much with the nightmare and woe themes. Its a clear reference to the little shop of horrors, which I like. No mask though.

5. Lucky – its a bit silly, even for gremlins and the emissary himself doesnt look that angry, which he should according to the fluff. The pig is there, but where’s the moonshine?

6. Shadow – one of the best eastern dragons I’ve see, so thumps up for the craftsmanship, but I dont like eastern dragons. No weird flower/flame/thing.

7. Arcane – I dont like the bull look, for me it doesnt tie into the rest of the faction. Where’s the book?

I like when there are either clear ties to the faction logo or the logo is incorporated into the model. The Carrion and Brutal emissaries do this best.

I think the Conflux of Horror upgrade looks amazing.

With Maniacal Laugh Molly gets use out of corpse markers, it makes positioning in the black blood bubble a little easier and it opens up Molly hiring pool a little. The real benefit however is with Take Back tbe Night, with every undead being a horror, there's huge potential for card draw.

Magnetize them.

I havent tried it myself but I've read (either on this forum on AWP on facebook) that the easiest way to do it, is to put a magnet into underside of the arachnids body and then a piece of metal in the base, or several pieces of metal for the swarm base.

Rotten Belles could be an alternate source of dresses, they're cheaper than buying the Jack Daw box but $3 more than the Coryphee box. There are also a few dresses in the Female Multi-part Kit.

I havent tried it, but it looks like it could be fun on Horror Molly with Maniacal Laugh and the Carrion Emmisary. My main concern would be the SS cost.

From what I've read (and based my starter purchases on) its a good start to running Horror Molly, though the conventional advice is to pick up Seamus' box too, as both Madame Sybelle and Belles work well with Molly.

Killjoy and Yin are popular with Molly, and they're fairly cheap (cash wise, not soul stone wise). Yin has the added advantage of being really good with Seamus, if you decide to pick up his box.

Then there's The Drowned and Nurses which I think are nice to have, rather than need to have for Molly. I think you can get by without Punk Zombies by using the students from Transmortis.

You could use the Bloodwretches with Molly since they're immune to Black Blood, but I think there are better in faction options for 6 stones.

This is very impressive for 1.5 months work!

I'd try a lighter tone of wash for your skin tones and maybe a few extra highlights, its the only thing that isnt consistent and good quality

I'd "cast" copies sheathed katanas from either Vik of Blood or the Ronins, using instant mold and brown stuff (cures harder than green stuff) or green stuff.

Hasslefree miniatures have katanas in their collections, as optional weapons for zombie hunters mostly, but I'm not sure if they're available separately.

There's three of them and they all glow... Illuminated for an alternate Lynch box?

Couldnt you move him about with some bury shenanigans?

I'm tempted to use the antlers from the Blessed of December on this model instead.

Any russians on the forums who are up for translating this?

Lucius without minions, mimics and guardsmen.
