LonelyPath Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 (edited) Afternoon all! I have been off busily finishing off my Graveyard terrain for Malifaux, playing on the Xbox and messing about with Magic cards. Sadly it's left very little time for forums and I am slowly assembling my Gencon minis, heh. I have another set of Gravestones to paint up, plus 3 mausoleums and my terrain set will be finished (and amazingly it all fits in to a box the size of the GW Dark Vengeance set) and then it is on to my Mining Town. Steam, I agree with you on whether or not things are intentionally there as tabs or things to be removed, I had to green stuff the back of Misaki's neck because a tab looks like a bit of excess sprue. Also, the Ten Thunders box does not have the parts numbered, thankfully someone has posted a link in the Gencon Orders thread for me to print off so I can work out what part belongs to what model. Shang's Tail is a nasty piece though, plus it seems the Ten Thunders models do not like to fit on the bases provided for them (Shang is huge and his paws hang off the base) all that well.

SteamHammer Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 I found a thread that numbered the archers parts but they still don't go together easily. I'll get there eventually but there will be a lot of swearing and trying to trim off glue residue that is now covering every part. Yamaziko and Miss Terious were nice models to assemble.

Mister Shine Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 Managed to get my gap filling done on my models before work. If they're set enough I'll prime 'em too before I head out for another lovely day of seeing what broke while I was away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Shine Posted September 27, 2012 Report Share Posted September 27, 2012 Well, while priming noticed I forgot to gap fill INSIDE huggy d's mouth so got some primer fingers trying to emergency wedge a thin sheet of green stuff in there. Light priming really brings out all the gaps I missed too, sigh But now Im at work so can't do anything about it now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Ah, I hate that moment! I played a game using lady J tonight, have now decided until I know what I'm doing she'll be my go to girl, simple to use, dies easy enough but she really can wreck serious face on the way down! Also, when a death marshal sneaks a straight flip Dg against Von Tache, and cheats in red joker with a severe extra, it's hilarious. When the Tache does the same straight back, it's even funnier! Although only one of them dies... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Shine Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 The amount of times that Moustache cheats death you'd really think he was a resser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 I was pretty proud of that little death marshal, 4 points to plant evidence on an objective then blow 7 wounds off the Tache in one shot (granted, had to use a 12 and 13 from my hand to get the second shot to hit clean, and then the joker cheated in too). And I have toys from the UK, my Dropzone commander stuff has arrived so my diorama for Salute in April can begin! Sigh, 14 projects... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Shine Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 yeah, but we're all waiting on you to get your own malifaux models back from the UK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Oh, they'll appear eventually. I reckon February, so I've had to survive the winter with no cold weather stuff *grin* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Shine Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Dont you get tracking or anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Nope, a customs form just shows up one day. It's a shipping company so they're not likely to lose it, and they need my signature to release it from customs so they can't send it to the wrong place! Should be the next few weeks though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Shine Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 I think I'll slap my stitched on their new bases tonight or tomorrow. The effect is pretty good, I just hope Huggy D doesn't blend into it too much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osoi Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Okay guys I need some help in deciding how to base my 10T, I have my Archers and Yamizako (and 10T brothers) and will be starting assembly over the weekend. Problem is I really dont know what concept I want to work with for them. At the moment I have all my Guild and Outcasts on Victorian streets bases, all my Ressers are on Graveyard themed bases I did myself, Kirai is the exception where I have used broken up cork tile and sand ... I just dont know what to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Shine Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Not sure how to implement it, but rooftops would be pretty dang cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osoi Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Damn you for getting my mind working in overdrive on how to implement that, it would be pretty cool. I may just have to have my 10T jumping all over Malifaux city, crates, walls, rooftops, not going to be a quick project now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Not quick, but cool though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 I really dont like basing.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osoi Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 I dont mind basing but I tend to try and do it on the cheap (base inserts excepted) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 I occassionally buy mini natur stuff, for tiny foliage, but mostly it's just putty and stuff I have lying about. Best way to make bases if you ask me! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamHammer Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Morning all. For my Ten Thunders' bases I'm going to green stuff something that hopefully looks like tatami mats. I know, "real adventurous, a flat surface", bite me. I want something easy that I have a chance of not screwing up. How's everyone today? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Absolution Black Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Morning! Talking bases? I cheat and buy resin ones! For the Ten thunders I will be using Micro Arts Studio Wood ones... Also with Misaki, the cloud thingy from her foot I assume is supposed to be air? How do you paint air? I was going to do it flame like and possibly have scorched areas where the flame hits the wood part of the base.. same with Shang. ---------- Post added at 09:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:17 AM ---------- Or I could remove the cloud completely i guess but dont know what effect that may have on the mini overall..

SteamHammer Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Make it dusty air. I've seen plenty of hong kong martial arts films. EVERYTHING is covered in dust. You kick someone, dust flies out. You smash a table, dust flies out. You strike a pose, dust flies out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 It wouldn't be good, that burst of magic is one of her two contact points, and it's the larger one. I'm going to paint it up as fire like I'm doing Shang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
osoi Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 So happy only 35minutes and work is done for the week (except for that thing of coming in for a few hours tomorrow) and then we have a public holiday on Monday! I just had a look at my calendar and saw that I will be playing at least one game of Malifaux every day (including running demos) from the 10th of October until the 19th which is insane. Back on the topic of bases though, I have looked at different resin ones but nothing is jumping out at me as being what I want to use, I have one more idea but I need to check bits and pieces that I have at home first. I must say I was completely blown away with the nice detail on the 10T archers and Yamizako last night though, they are nice looking models. Just need to stay disciplined on not jump in and paint shiny stuff while there are still other things on the table Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteamHammer Posted September 28, 2012 Report Share Posted September 28, 2012 Did a bit more assembling last night but still on the archers box. Painted some more Lady Justice too although it will take a large weekend session to finish her. ---------- Post added at 09:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:28 AM ---------- Oooo, three day weekend. Always nice. So what's on the painting table at the moment? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
