Cyphre Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 (edited) I have never played miniature games before, instead I have played RPGs some 20 years. Having read about Malifaux, seen the amazing boards that others have made and listened to various great podcasts about the game, I was sold. My initial thought was that if I wanted to play it would require a good board, so I set out to create a board, even before getting my first crew. I have never ever made anything like this before, but it was good fun and I can really see continuing to create various boards. I think these turned out ok for a newbie, so they will in the future serve as my first boards for Malifaux. Swamp board The first I wanted to create was a swamp board, since I found the gremlins models great. I found some very good boards/tutorials that have helped me a lot i visualising it. Sewer board Since i'll probarbly end up playing Ressurectionists I thought a sewer board would be good as my next board. Again the boards I have seen online have really inspired me a lot.

Stern Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 very nice work! I particularly like the swamp board... mainly because all of my guild and arcanists are based up and would fit nicely on there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LonelyPath Posted September 29, 2011 Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 Great work! Are you sure you're a newbie? Those boards look better than the stuff I make! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyphre Posted September 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 Great work! Are you sure you're a newbie? Those boards look better than the stuff I make! Quite sure. As I wrote I come from a RPG background and have never been interested in miniature games before finding out about Malifaux. To be quite honest, it turned out to be a lot easier than I expected. It just takes time - I have spend around 15 hours and roughly £40 on making these. Half of that amount went towards the varnish I have used for water effects, which is not that isible on the images.

Cyphre Posted September 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2011 These turned out great. Make sure when you play on them you take some pics and throw them up! I will definately do that. Hopefully I will e able to purchase the miniatures tomorrow. Assembling, cleaning up and painting to follow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
