Because what's a miniatures blog post without some images?
I'm mostly finished with the Golem and the Gamin for Rasputina.
This is all that I've painted in the last week or two. I was bored today, so I pulled out my unassembled Malfaux and went to town:
I put together:
Mei Feng
Kang
Emberling
3 RailWorkers
3 Metal Gamin
Viktoria of Ashes
Viktoria of Blood
3 Ronin
The Student of Conflict
Taelor
I'm debating putting together my Herald of Obliteration Crew, but really, I've get enough stuff to paint. The Good news is that Secret Weapon is releasing a sewer themed set of bases, and I'm (nominally) building a sewer themed table, so I think the Viks have found their basing style.
Yup. I had a plan coming back from Gencon that I was going to focus on getting Mei Feng ready, so I'd have two Ten Thunders crews ready to go. I'd ignore the Viks and Rasputina in order to get Mei ready and out the door.
Yeah, about that...
Heh. I couldn't resist opening up the other boxes. Sadly, the Hired Swords had a mispack, so now I have two Viktorias of the Blood, and no Taelor, so that's a no-go until Wyrd sends the replacement. And I love the new 'Tina models, soooo...
I just have the one Gamin painted, but I have bases for all of them done up. I'm going to be adding the Crushed Glass from Secret Weapon to add an ice feel to the base top.
So, Paulson Games is making a mecha game called Mecha Front. Unlike umpteen other companies he's not doing a kickstarter, at least not yet. It's in the 15mm range, and he's got one mecha, the Nor-Am Raptor up for sale as a test bed. I picked it up, and here's the finished result.
The torso is magnetized so it can twist, and the arm weapons are as well, so that they can be swapped for alternate variants.
Sorry, no pics, as there's no paint, but I've finished putting together my 2nd Malifaux crew, one that will be compliant with the upcoming 2nd edition.
Sadly, Kirai will not be one of the crew rules sets initially released, so she's in limbo right now. But that did give me impetus to work on my Miasaki crew. I've put together the Thunder box set, plus a set of of those [expurgated] Ten Thunder archers, and Yamaziko. With M2E hitting, both Ototo and Yamaziko can henchmaster, so I can use those in lower points games, but as it is, I've got about 53 Soulstones with of stuff to play with.
I'll try to play a few more games of the beta rules until Gencon, when I can (hopefully) pick up the new rules set.
My first is one I made from instructions I found in the old 4th edition rulebook, back when hobbying was allowed, perhaps even encouraged!
Given how rough mine looks, perhaps I shouldn't have been encouraged. It may be pug ugly, but it gets the job done. It blocks LoS, and protects models. I made two of the buggers, and both are still with me after 8 years, so I think they've made their $10 I put into them back for me.
And if you want to make your own (hopefully less ugly) bunkers, Miniwargaming shows you how easy it is right here:
I was also excited to see the GW Wall of Martyrs one as well. It looked neat and fit the grimdark. That was, of course, until I got it home. It was tiny, smaller even than my trusty foamcore bunker.
Note which one actually has paint on it.
Interior detail, but still no lavatories in the 41st millenium
At the last Adepticon, I spied the bunker above available as a kit from Tectonic Craft Studios. Two bucks more, and tons more room, plus interior detail and usable roof space. I will admit, it was more complex to assemble than the GW bunker, but given the sheer size of it, and how well the kit is engineered, I'll work with it. In fact, I bought another one. I'm just waiting to assemble it.
That being said, I did but the firestorm redoubt. Because flyers. The rule are wonky, but I think in the end, it'll be effective.
This one is still WIP, just like the Tectonic Bunker, the Redoubt is just further along.
Now, I just need that table to come in from Secret Weapon, and we'll be set!
