I WANTED PRETTY ART

?I feel pretty. Oh so pretty. I feel pretty and witty and gay.?

I finished Rasputina for 15ss so far this month which at least covers me for my Henchman pledge level. Trouble is that I've got over a dozen more that need assembly/painting and that's further behind than o would like to be. I need to get Snow Storm and at least 3 more done this month.

What @Fictor said is your cleanest Killjoy delivery mechanism.

Another option is Myranda, you can also prompt and reactivate her for 33" worth of movement plus a Cerberus and four cards on the end of it.  For when stuff REALLY needs to die.  

Granted that's 7ss more expensive. 

I've been thinking of running a Marcus Alpha Strike like this. I don't yet own the Marcus box or Killjoy (Carver for me) but this idea sounds fun.

The latest Wyrd Chronicles indicates 6 new models/faction and "a slew of new Upgrades."

The gameplay video and playtest videos from the Kickstarter should give you enough info to go on. The current stat cards are also all viewable over on the TOS page.

I've grown my community from 1 to 12 over the past several months. Here's what's worked for me--every situation is different of course and YMMV.

1. Find the LGS in your area that caters to minis players and that minis players hang out at.

2. Run demos there as often as possible. Weekly is best but even every 2 weeks is good if it's consistent. Talk to the locals about the games they play. If others are running demos and you're slow play their demo. Early on it's about building connections. When not demoing play full games in the store with your friends--you want people to see you having fun and they need assurance that if they buy in they'll have people to play with.

3. Run an Event within the first 2-3 months. Advertise that you'll have crews to loan out to new players. Get as many existing players as possible locked in to come to build your numbers. Give out a ton of loot for this first event. You want your participants to have a great time and be seen having a great time. Display the awards and loot prominently.

4. Repeat step 2. Make sure your demos are fun and appealing and give it time. Most players now active in my area first told me they liked the game but didn't have the time or money for another minis game. 

Good luck and feel free to ask for help or questions.

1. Model Master Liquid Cement for Plastic made assembly far easier for me. I highly recommend it.

Malifaux model assembly is still harder/more time consuming than some other models but they look great and I love the ruleset/community so it's easily worth the extra time IMO.

3. Guerilla Miniatures Games does great Malifaux battle reports on YouTube.

Welcome and congrats to you both.

Kai, good luck keeping those pesky Henchmen in line...

For May I'm aiming to at least finish Rasputina and Snow Storm. Hopefully I'll do more after them.

I've learned to be super conservative in placing Acolytes when my opponent has models with Lure or similar effects.

Don't get me started on Rotten Belles...

@Joachim Beautiful!  Great job on the eyes and their low glow effect.  You are third through the gate, and I've updated you on the tracking sheet.

I should have 25 pts so far this month. Ice Golem, 3 Ice Gamin and the Wendigo.

I once used the Brass Arachnids Buzz Saw to do the game winning (Dig Their Graves) point of damage I needed. Not ideal but sometimes you have to use the tools remaining at your disposal.

I ran Joss with Open Current to 2nd place in a 14 player HH Tournament. Open Current plus card drain from a December Acolyte set up my Steam Arachnid Swarm to get 4-6 attacks per Charge pretty well killing whatever it came in contact with.

It was a pleasure playtesting for you. You will be missed. Your influence shall live on as long as the battlecry of "Cinnamon!" rings out across the battlefields of The Other Side.

some WIP of my journalists. Not overly happy with them so far

I'm consistently surprised by how displeased I can be with a model in the early stages and how pleased I can be with it by the time I'm done. 

Keep up the good work and keep the faith.

I really enjoy getting insight into how others approach the game. Keep em coming.

Snow Storm for sure.

After that Ice, Dancers, Silent Ones and a Blessed of December are very good choices.

Can you be more specific regarding the tips you need?

Thanks. They're welder could be of use in a Mei Feng crew as well. Once they're assembled and painted I'll give them a try.

Good job. If you haven't already, look up washes and dry brushing. There are many different kinds of techniques and such but those two help a great variety of situations.

So at a tournament yesterday one of the prize options available was Union Miners and I'd heard they're good so I chose them.

Now that I'm looking at they're cards I'm wondering how I'll use them. They seem too slow for scheme running and for cheap point holders or melee attacks I'd rather take Rail Workers.

How do you all use Union Miners and who do you use them with? Thanks.

I played Rasputina for the first 2 times yesterday. Since I don't yet own Silent Ones, Ice Dancers or a Blessed of December I fielded the Ice Golem in both games. Combined with Snow Storm's 0 I was able to set him up for 1 or more Smash attacks against high value target's before  he died. In the first game even his explosive death served me well.

Once I have more options I'm not saying I'll take him every time but so far he has easily paid for himself so he will remain a contender for inclusion. Even more so once I have a Metal Gamin to buff him with.

Just my thoughts as a new Rasputina player.

@Sandmann Great work! I can't help but notice how good your model's eyes look. Could you talk me through a brief tutorial?

Right now I'm just doing black dots but I'd like to do better.

 - Imbued Energies (1)
Soulstone Miner (6)
Electric Creation (4)

Fairly standard "Burn Ramos" list. Joss murders the Electric Creation turn 1 generating 2 Scrap to get the Summoning engine going. He then hovers between the Stashes to buff the Steam Arachnids and deal with anything that comes up.

Ramos is summoning and buffing Spiders plus other shenanigans as needed.

Howard shoots like a missile into the enemy forces with Reactivate (from Brass Arachnid) on Turn 2 killing a key target or two and causing havok.

Meanwhile the Steam Arachnids should have no trouble scoring Guard the Stash and Accusation. They should also be on +flips for Def and Att from Ramos and their hits generate Burning +1 from Joss. That leaves the Soulstone Miner to score Leave Your Mark and/or hunt enemy scheme runners.
