Waldo's Weekly - Life Goes On

[Kyle]

Hey Wyrdos,

This week, we found Waldo in a not-so-empty office, as it was filled from floor to ceiling with foam fingers from every sporting event you could think of. While we appreciate him finally abiding by the new rule we had to enforce (“No bones, corpses, or anything resembling the undead in the office”), it clearly didn’t stop Waldo from following in The Damned’s footsteps in trying to become immortal. Based on the incoherent screaming, we’re guessing that it isn’t going so well.

So while we figure out what to do with all of this cut-up foam, let’s take a look at another upcoming Seeker (and Savage!) model, The Damned!

“He ordered their tongues cut out so none could challenge his throne…”

It pulled itself from a frozen tomb in the Northern Hills with twisted claws. Emaciated flesh hung from its bones; a rack of horns grew from a skull more animal than man. It took only a little mote of life to bring this lost creature back from the dead. The Damned’s first encounter with Jedza ended in a stalemate; the woman did not die, but without her presence the Damned would return to its frozen tomb. Each wanted something from the other. A tiny finger bone from Jedza allows the Damned to remain alive. If Jedza commands, it must aid her in whatever she asks.

Long ago, the Damned was the first to be remade into something more by the Tyrant December. This connection fascinates Jedza, especially since the monster has a darkness inside its long-withered heart: a hatred for December that runs impossibly deep. She shared rumors about a woman with dark hair and pale blue eyes who had managed to survive the Tyrant’s gifts, as the Damned once did. Rage helps guide each new step it takes. It will return to the Northern Peaks. It will consume the magic of December inside His latest vessel and take its rightful place on the peaks. The Damned can only imagine how good her heart will taste.

He sure sounds nice.

And he looks nice on the table, too. Check out The Damned’s sculpt below:

Whether you play Euripides or Jedza, you’ll be able to add The Damned to your crew in May!

In the meantime, if you’d like to check out The Damned’s rules and stat cards, you can find them on the Malifaux Crew Builder App.

That’s it from us!

The render definitely makes his pose look more natural; from the art I thought he was on one foot and putting all his weight on his fingernails. It looks like it is tensing up to lunge, rather than squatting awkwardly.

[Adran]

The blessed and the damned. I hadn't put them together before, now we see why they are similar.

[Ming]

Just to be sure. Is The Damned the same creature from Jedza's (and Taelor's) story? I judge by the antlers and Tyrant-relation. 

[HomelessOne]

I don't think so. They seemed like they were related to The Nameless, rather than December.

Would love a Damned wallpaper if there was one.

Glorious model, would love to see it next to a regular model to see its size.

Awesome model! Can't wait to get paint on it!
