Dracomax Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Okay, my order arrived, and I've started putting it together. is it just me, or is miss Step tiny compared to the old steamborg executioner? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Shine Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Her claws are dainty because she's a pinup. A sorta half dead construct monster pinup. DAINTY! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clement Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Okay, my order arrived, and I've started putting it together. is it just me, or is miss Step tiny compared to the old steamborg executioner? I think the scariest crew I saw back in 1.5 actually was mei feng with a rail golem, mechanical rider, rail golem, and large steampunk arachnid. The big three were all scary beaters in their own right and mei feng could bounce along them to be nearly anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Merbak Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Food for unconventional thought: both could also play well with Rasputina (stacking that armor, and maybe getting Johan as a repairman), and both would theoretically run well with Leveticus, at least last we saw him.

Dunni Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Query? Does Miss Step have any ruling to keep you from using her along with Howard? Mine is still in FedEx land and was curious if she had her own card and whatnot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 She is considered Howard for all intents and purposes, so she counts towards the Rare 1 that keeps you from bringing two Howards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fetid Strumpet Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 She has her own card, but she counts as Howard. They even left the text that refers to the model as Howard in place on her card just so there would be no confusion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morella Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 She is tiny looking. Might try using her as a LSPA (not necessarily for official events, but can't imagine casual games anyone would have a problem) when the wave 2 rules come out. Might need to be on a 40mm base for that though, can't remember. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skyfire Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Is she easy to assemble? Steamborg executioner was a nightmare to put together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daemonkin Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Or Mei Feng. I'm not convinced on the Miss Step model but have yet to see it in the plastic, so to speak. As a Mei Feng player I thought about taking Howard but was unconvinced by the model. Miss Step is still leaving me that way. /shrug D.

mythicFOX Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 Is she easy to assemble? Steamborg executioner was a nightmare to put together. She's ok to assemble, I managed with my fat fingers without major foul ups, although I did use tweezers for a couple of the littler parts. As for her size, she's still fairly big, just not as chunky as the old Steamborg was. She certainly looks 'nimble' to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dracomax Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 I'd say she is tiny, but the legs have a lot of spread. outside of those legs, she is about the size of one of the smaller plastic humans, without legs--Tara might actually be larger.

madjackdeacon Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 I picked up Miss Step at Gen Con and assembled her last week. The stance on her legs is a bit wider than the 50mm base she comes with, but as I'm using Secret Weapon Miniatures' Town Square #2 50mm base I was able to get her to fit with a wee bit of gentle pressure to gently bend her delicate legs. I'll post more pics as I finish the base coating and block coloring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rgarbonzo Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 I glued her to the outside of the base kinda like she was holding the base more than standing on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyfire Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Introducing... Miss Step, Maiden of Carnage... and that's a lot of blood! It's nowhere as good as pro-painters' work but I had a great time painting her. Pretty proud of it, actually. The new plastics are truly wonderful: great details, easy to assemble, and still quite sturdy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bfrench Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 I like where you're taking her with the gore. May I suggest using tamiya clear red paint on her for gore effects. I think you'll be pleased with the outcome. Crazy easy to use just make sure you seal the model first because tamiya is alcohol based. http://www.bushido-thegame.com/articles/painting-gore-tutorial Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dracomax Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 And now, One of the legs broke off at the ball, and I didn''t notice until after the vacuuming. as it is unlikely I'll ever see the leg again, any suggestions for proxying one of her legs?

Fenton Crack Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 (edited) And now, One of the legs broke off at the ball, and I didn''t notice until after the vacuuming. as it is unlikely I'll ever see the leg again, any suggestions for proxying one of her legs? Hmm, tough with such a thin specific piece. I think I would start by building a replacement out of wire (piece of paper clip or whatever) and attaching it to the base model by drilling a hole to accept it. I would then use use green stuff or some other epoxy to start building up the thickness in certain areas and sculpt the "scythe" shape into the lower leg. Depending how well it went, I would run interference for the new leg by partially obscuring it with terrain on the base (rock, shrub, grass tuft) or/and add a weathering effect such as rust, corrosion, blood & viscera, etc. to all the legs to unify their look.

Merbak Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 Alternately, you could use the putty at the ball joint to create a damage effect there, making it look as if that leg was blown clear off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dracomax Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 I have been considering kitbashing bits of the extra rail-workers limbs for the first two joints(I think it'll look fairly close), but the scythe has been giving me trouble. I may do the damage thing there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madjackdeacon Posted September 3, 2013 Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 (edited) Here is my progress with Miss Step so far. Sorry for the slightly blurry pic. It's all I was able to do at work. Next photos will be better. I've blocked out her body's metal components with Vallejo's Tinny Tin and put down two thin basecoats of Citadel's Leadbelcher on the manhole cover, then put a couple of thin even coats of Citadel's Bugman's Glow on her exposed skin. I then gave her metal body components and the manhole cover several thin washes of Citadel's Athonian Camoshade (a great "dirty" wash. Very brown, green, and black). Next up I'll begin picking out the brass components on her body. As always, comments are very welcome!
