Not quite true, he treats all in-faction Beasts as Versatile, which for Arcanist Marcus means the Blessed of December and Hoarcats, and for Neverborn Marcus means Rougarou, Corrupted Hounds, Bandersnatch, Will o' the Wisp, Adze, and Grootslang.

[like with all beta stuff, subject to change]

Agreed, the key word being in-faction. However, unless I am mistaken, Arcanist Marcus does not have access to Rougarou, Hounds, Bandersnatch, et. al.. Likewise, Neverborn Marcus can hire Chimera models listed in the Arcanist faction, but not Blessed of December.

If im reading the short guide correctly, marcus as leader has access to the neverborn beasts even when run as arcanist.

So things like the rattler, the bandersnatch, the rougaru ect

Or does that confuse the listing post too much as they are not available to others?

(Id just picked up marcus hence the interest)

Marcus only has access to Neverborn miniatures with the Chimera keyword when declaring Arcanist. Currently, that's only the Razorspine Rattler.

@Scatterbrain - it's a short month 😱...but we're all rootin' for you 😉👍

Thank you. By the way, in Australia, "rooting" has a different meaning. 🤣

I have officially now started. 😎 My single, 3 soulstone model, that is.

@Thedeadclaw Pics, or it didn't happen! 😜

Quick WIP shot of the avatar I'm working on now.

The idea is to buildup the highlights on the icicles with different shades of blue and a very light skin/blue tone on Raspy.

I love it! 😮

I'm seeing what I assume to be default text, white on the dark grey background. For me, your posts don't look different to anyone else's. 🤔

Again the M2E sculpt is better. It would be nice if the cards were made available with the M2E artwork. 

The cards are there now, if they weren't before.

Pledging 1 Mobile Toolkit at 3 ss.

Does Malifaux have vampires? Yes, and the reason we can't see them is because they're hiding in plain sight: they're standing in the sunlight and sparkling so brilliantly the eye can't discern their shape. 😉

^^ Think I'll have to try that one at some stage. Patriotism aside green, white and orange look pretty heinous together so it'd be a real challenge to make them work on a figure. 🙂

What about Som'er Teeth Jones in a white linen suit jacket and matching hat a la Fred Astaire? Orange flourishes for the shoulder brocade and the feathers in the hat. 😁

5 These Colours Don't Run - Australia, one of many flags with red, white and blue on the flag.

Mannequin to "tournament quality" for 4 ss.

It looks okay to me. It makes sense that a mimic might have odd proportions and be able to rotate his knives with deft swiftness. His solid stance also makes sense. Lucius' man (or creature?) is confident and ready for instructions as to his target.

Pic of "tournament quality" Mannequin incoming when I get home from work.

Pressure is on for we procrastinators and fly-by-the-seat-of-our-pants-ers. Or am I only speaking for myself? If so, I am used to that. 😉

Whereabouts are you based?

Sad for the lost of rafkin

Damn it, I am having trouble keeping up with which cross-faction miniatures are available or not. The decision about whether or not to keep my NIB Rafkin has changed twice now. But it looks like another bunch of Bayou friends have come to play instead, in the form of Survivors.

Huzzah for the barkeep!

I did a basecoat of a single colour today. 😁 Just celebrating the small victories...

may i ask the people who worked on the close beta to show their models. this is not required but i just want to seen the new stuff as soon as possible

Unless I have missed something huge, the beta testers didn't receive new models, either the completely new releases in M3E or new sculpts of previous edition models. I presume they just did the playtesting with proxy models where required. E.g. using a Ramos miniature to stand in for Von Schtook, or a Shikome to represent the future Marcus' Chimera Order Initiate.

I think we will all just have to keep an eye on the gradual revealing of new miniatures and sculpts in pre-view, such as just occurred with the Dreamer crew.

I love the red and purple in the concept art. I can't wait to see someone who paints them similarly once the miniatures are available.

So I am fired up to get some painting done and back in the hobby. Here is my lot for the month. 

That's a Ronin on the far right, if I am not mistaken. Which faction's dogs are those to the left, and what are the metal figures? What's their total M2E soulstone value?

I am determined to get there in the coming weeks.

A preliminary WIP of a Rotten Belle:

I hope I can finish the "Getting ready for 3^rd Edition" achievement before M3E drops. It may arrive sooner than later given the recent announcement! 😱

What colour scheme are you going to use to paint the cricket? 🦗 😁
