This thread may be long dead, but here goes... (Relative newbie to Malifaux, and first time poster.)
On Lightning Bug #1 (as defined by the external link above), the piece of the model which represents the blast meeting the ground has a rod sticking straight up from it. This would seem to be intentional and not designed to be cut off, as it would add stability to a precariously (and awesomely) posed model. However, there does not seem to be a receptacle for this rod in the upward trending portion of the spell blast. Is this my first encounter with a Malifaux piece that I am expected to puncture/drill? Is the rod intended to be cut off? I feel like I am missing something obvious and basic here. Thanks in advance for any words of wisdom!
