Tuesday Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Mannequin things here, please. This is a place for all things Mannequin: -- Strategy! -- Musings! -- Art! My contributions will be mainly of the latter. Mannequins are fun to draw. So! What are your thoughts on these wonderful constructs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karn987 Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 I love the last one, very nicely done Tuesday =D Very clean with a nice level of detail. Unhealthy obsessions with Malifaux models/units/characters are always a good thing ^^ *Goes back to fiddling with his Pandora Box* Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuesday Posted March 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 They just want to be Coryphee. Poor dears. Also, this is a character that I thought up as an addition to the Showgirl crew that I just wish existed-- who can go here because she's very closely associated with Mannequins. The Steamstress. She can make other constructs into Showgirls, maintain and repair Mannequins.... but for the most part I still have very little idea of how she'd work.

Tuesday Posted March 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 Hmm... I was kind of hoping to tackle the fan-rule creation myself. Might help get a better idea of how everything works game-wise, that sort of thing. But a Nephilim Showgirl sounds awesome fun to draw. I might not be able to get it done very fast this week, but I'll certainly start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tuesday Posted March 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Those abilities... are all awesome. I love the nod to Margaret (and rock-paper-scissors). The way I imagine it, Steamstress sort of thinks herself a crusader for mannequin rights. She probably gave that one in the first post its scissors, for example. Also, a work doodle with everyone's favorite magic-stuffed mechanical explosion bird: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolution Black Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 I hereby start the campaign for the inclusion of the Seamstress into Malifaux! Or at least a talented sculptor to make a green. I would definitely buy a mini based on Tuesday's glorious artwork! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonas Albrecht Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Now that is a name for Malifaux Indeed! And her original name for the ability that gave Constructs the Showgirl trait was Re-Cast... Oh, the word play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LoboStele Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 Nybbles, I LOVE the ideas there. Very cool stuff. Definitely interested to see what Wyrd has in store for the Showgirls in Book 3. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrNybbles Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 @LoboStele: I'm personally hoping for some less costly showgirls that can be used for combat. Against a crew like Lilith which is better in melee and Mature Nephilim that have Diving attack which ignores LoS, terrain, and intervening models when basically charging, solid walls and terrain don't exactly provide cover. Coolaide Man = Mature Nephilim! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
