@PetitDalek: Does 25SS sound fair?

Also: Awesome!

Caedrus, reporting in!

As requested by @Butch, the month of September has had a Beastman painted in Black and White (with a coloured base so you can be certain of saturation levels).

The majority of this was zenithal airbrush work. Some areas of fabric were stippled, and some paintbrush gradient work on the halberd.

A quick job, but enjoyable!

See you next month for a new challenge. Perhaps it's time to bust out the oil paints?

Hi All,

Hmm, I may have been sliiiightly too subtle in my attempt at humour. To be clear: I wasn't offended!

Certainly, the Gremlins take much of their background from the Deliverance-esque hillbilly stereotype. I think you could certainly make an Australian Gremlin cohort, though! If McTavish couldn't be converted into a convincing Steve Irwin, I'd be surprised, as @Rathnard suggests.

After reading @gertermit's post, I have to agree. The Mysterious Emissary could definitely be Australian 😂.

@Myyrä: If I had to give a semi-serious response, in such an alternate history, I'd say that whoever first recognised Australia's natural resources would colonise it, quick-smart. Perhaps the Dutch?

Finally, to follow on from Rathnard, my very subjective opinion is that Wyrd has represented a vast range of cultures, and educated me about some mythology that I wasn't aware of. I think that they are moving / have moved into a more culturally aware and safe place. l I think that it's important to recognise that many of their oldest characters are derived from an amalgam of the fictional and the (non-fictional) folklorish (Seamus, to me, is a Mad Hatter / Sweeney Todd / Jack the Ripper amalgam).

Finally, and this is just one player's opinion: They're miniatures, that are fun to paint and play with. I love their individuality. I like the obtuse references.

If I was offended by any miniature, based on any aspect of their appearance, name, cultural background or reference (and I am not), then I wouldn't buy it, or I'd proxy it, or I'd attack it with Green Stuff ☺️.

I'm off to look up Samantha Thrace. I don't know that bit of lore!

Caedrus, over and out.

Hi All,

I've updated the spreadsheet, here. Apologies for the delay, and please do let me know if I have made any errors! Thanks!

@Franchute: We demand a group shot!

Here's what I'll be using as a Proxy!

@Purple Mist: I love everything about this miniature.

What colour is the base for the back of the cloak? It's wonderful.

@LeperColony: As a Colette main, I'm more than happy to be guided here: What would be your best estimate of need?

Updated! Thanks @Adran, @cbtb11235813!

Thanks @Thedeadclaw, @Nikodemus, @MrPieChee, @Adran! Your suggestions have been implemented, my best guesses put in place for numbers, and the token/marker nomenclature has been tidied up.

Dear Malifolk,

With the new version of the Malifaux, and the emphasis on a reduction in conditions, some of the tokens we’ve used have become redundant, and others have increased in popularity.

I’ve noticed a few people interested in getting tokens, and the purpose of this thread is to collate the knowledge of the community about tokens, so that the new, returning or experienced player can make, print, buy or collect some tokens to make their life easier.

Now, I’m far from an expert on the matter, so I’ll be populating this thread with what I think is a good baseline collection. However, I’m looking for the experts of the community to post their thoughts, corrections, and recommendations.

I know there are some I have left out: Chi, Pit Trap, Riptide, Flicker, etc. I don’t know enough to make even rough suggestions.

You might have noticed that I have suggested in multiples of 3; this is because many suppliers seem to sell in multiples of 3.

Finally, there are many fine manufacturers out there. Etsy hosts a few (Widget Wizards is liked by many players), and there are Art of War Studios, Customeeple, Broken Egg, Monkey Sword, Module-R, and Chimeric Designs. So, folks, what are your token recommendations for the various keywords, Masters, and conditions?

@emiba: A terrain board counts for 100 points, and this is the first I've seen done on these boards. A great build - pity about the curse!
