Vermicious Knid Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 So hey folks I'm a very new Malifaux player, and also a sculptor. I have some fun ideas to sculpt my own Metal Gamin and Rail Golem models - not because the official models are bad, but merely because it might save me a few bucks, and I can put my own unique spin on these particular models As a Warmachine player, I am used to a certain "draconian" conversion policy, and I just wanted to get a feel for how the average Malifaux tournament runs. If I make scratch-built models like this, will I be essentially shooting myself in the foot when preparing for theoretical future tournaments I might attend Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omenbringer Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 As always it depends upon the TO but you can see Wyrd's official stance in the Gaining Grounds Tournament files in the download section of the site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vermicious Knid Posted September 29, 2014 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 Yep, spotted the file right after I posted this. Not too bad - similar to Privateer Press' policy, which I am very familiar with. Basically it would be a TO's call, which isn't a huge problem. Personally my conversions/scratch-built models do look different than the original, but not normally such that people would have a hard time telling what's what Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hateful Darkblack Posted September 29, 2014 Report Share Posted September 29, 2014 The Gaining Grounds docs are slightly ambiguous about scratch-built, but seems like scratch-built models are welcome if it's clear what the model is supposed to be. (Subject to TO decision, of course.) I have brought scratch-built models to tournaments and had them welcomed in the past. And in casual play of course it's up to your friends, but most people are excited for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
