Jonasty Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 I played 2 or 3 demo games of the original Puppet Wars way back when with Steve (antizombie) and I loved it. I didn't have the money or time to invest and then I heard about the re-release in plastic so that had me wait as well. Money is always an issue and Malifaux has been my primary Wyrd love which hasn't helped. Finally though the stars aligned and Miniature Market had a 50% off Wyrd sale so I managed to snag a copy of PWU for $35 which arrived yesterday! Now to begin assembling and painting all the little guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nagash13 Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 the plastics are awesome. slightly bigger than the old metals, which helps make painting easier and improves details. the directions are well done, and as a veteran gamer i found it all very easy to assemble. however, the deathmarshall is the hardest model in the box to assemble. his lower body is 3 pieces,(4 if you count the tiny star belt buckle), that are held in place via the coffinon his back to the pegs on the pieces. I wanted the coffin glued on after painting, which meant i had to be real careful when assembling these guys that i didnt overdo it on the glue and end up with the coffin stuck.

Hugor Posted September 2, 2013 Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 I totally agree. Just finished painted two models, and while I know I have grown a bunch as a painter since the original version of this game, these are so much easier to paint, and look so much better. While building them may be a hassle, it is totally worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonasty Posted September 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 2, 2013 Yeah I'm a horrendous clumsy ogre when it comes to glue so I just assemble everything first and paint it after. I'm happier dealing with fiddly painting angles than trying not to get glue on what I've painted. I've got 7 of the puppets assembled, so far they're proving to be pretty amazing. To be honest, way better than the Malifaux plastics cause their tabs/joints are so much better keyed. I wish the Malifaux plastics went together this easy! And I've seen the original metals, they're nice but yeah the plastics being bigger make for a much easier time painting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
