WarlockFiretop Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 I'm looking to branch out into Sonnia, and I like making bits. I know I'll need a Flame Wall, i.e. two 50mm markers to be placed adjacent to each other. I'll need mine to be pretty flat, so I can harpoon fools onto them. What else am I going to need? How big do Blast Tokens and Burning Markers have to be? And how many will I need? Anyone got any tips for making fire effects? I'm thinking of using water-effect goo, and teasing it into flame shapes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fishtank Posted July 7, 2012 Report Share Posted July 7, 2012 You can buy them from Litko or Gale Force 9 if you feel lazy and up to the cost. What you REALLY can't go wrong with is the Advanced Deployment tokens. They're great. http://store.advanceddeployment.com/product/victorian-horror-token-set If you really want to make them, blasts are 50mm bases, burning tokens whatever.

Manlapas Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 I have some of advanced deployment's Infinity markers, and they're great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wulfen Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 (edited) I made custom counters for a lot of the book 1 stuff, when I get home I'll get a link posted. I think they may also be linked in the Malifaux resources thread that is stickied. Edit: in the Malifaux Downloads stickied thread, go to that link in the first post. I created specific counters and templates for most of the book 1 stuff, including Flame Wall/Burst templates. It's called Templates and Tokens on Sven's page, if I recall.

Requirement Posted July 9, 2012 Report Share Posted July 9, 2012 Thanks for the plug! Hey, if I can't spend the money on them, someone should. Always been impressed with your stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarlockFiretop Posted July 10, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 Thanks for the suggestions guys. How many markers do you think I'll need? 2x50mm for the Flame Wall, and what else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forar Posted July 10, 2012 Report Share Posted July 10, 2012 Personally I made my own flame wall markers by buying some cheap red, yellow and orange plastic bits on Ebay and some 50mm bases, which I then glued said plastic bits onto. I'm fairly happy with how they turned out (though in hindsight I wish I'd done the gluing a bit differently). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most people I've seen have (3-4) 50 mm if they're using her avatar and just 2 if they are just using her normal form. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarlockFiretop Posted July 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 Okay, one more thing... All flame/burning tokens are 50mm, right? Also, do they have to be flat, so models can overlap them? Or can I make them 5" tall? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozz Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 They can be as tall as you like so you can make them look fancy and impressive, also makes it more clear what they are so people don't accidentally walk onto them. But you may want to push/pull models somehow onto them so flat is potentially better for you in terms of gaming, just less impressive and fun to look at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmp_mydog Posted July 11, 2012 Report Share Posted July 11, 2012 I think any tokens are 30mm. (Burning, eye, body part, corpse etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Requirement Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 Tokens and Counters are different things. Corpse, scrap, eye, and body part are all Counters (can be placed on the board, can stack infinitely high) and are all 30 mil. Tokens: only one that is coming to mind is Burning. These are not placed on the table and don't need any distinct shape. I know players who use dice, have laminated their cards to use dry erase markers (me!), or just random scraps of paper. 30 mil markers work out pretty well for the tokens because you can see them, keep track of them, and they look unified with the counters. Ratty has a sheet of counters that I use but also make for a good reference. http://malifaux.nezumi.me.uk/Downloads/Malifaux_Counters_Ratty.pdf (Sorry to nerd out on the counters/tokens thing. I'm not as serious as all that.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I kept seeing references to 'Burning Tokens', and was picturing a kind of template. All I need to make are two 50mm Flame Wall tokens. Now... are these ALWAYS deployed adjacent to each other, i.e. I can actually sculpt a wall of flame that covers two bases? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wulfen Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 Yes, Flame Wall templates are always base-to-base. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yes but no Posted July 12, 2012 Report Share Posted July 12, 2012 Yes, Flame Wall templates are always base-to-base. Nit picking here but Asonnia can use pyre command to place one of the two 50mm bases 2 inches away. Although that being said there are more than enough counters/markers in Ratty's pdf that you can print out and laminate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yes but no Posted July 14, 2012 Report Share Posted July 14, 2012 True, true. Hmm they probably changed the name of the spell in avatar form to restrict the number of targets should Sonnia have someone else in her crew capable of casting flame wall (probably only possible in a brawl, currently).

WarlockFiretop Posted July 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2012 Hmm, so, if I have Sonnia and Avatar Sonnia, I'll need my Flame Wall in two pieces. That's fine. And that's all I need in terms of things on the table, right? Two 50mm base Flame Wall counters? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
