Things are moving along

So, I actually got ahead of my game this weekend. Surprisingly since I did alot of non-Gamer Journal related gaming stuff.

First, with the Journal news…

I have finished all the bases for the list I finally came up with… oh? What’s the list you ask?

  • pStryker
  • Reinholdt
  • Defender
  • Stormblades
  • Min Trenchers

Stryker, well cause I like the Alternate Sculpt mini… and I actually used him in the past… Reinholdt, as much as his abilities are useful, he’s mainly there to fill in that extra point.

The Defender is there for many reasons… with some Khador and Menoth opponents, I’m sure I’ll be facing quite a few heavies, and he’s got the stopping power and has the shock hammer to do some cortex damage.

Then I had to take the trenchers as I just love the look and theme (and will add to it),  yes, they’re really expensive… and kinda squishy… but can’t I go for aesthetics?

To add some melee power, I added a unit of Stormblades.

So far, I’ve primed Stryker and started painting his jacket, finished the bases for everything, primed the stormblades and painted the metal bits… I still have to get some smaller rare-earth magnets in order to assemble my defender and have to find a reinholdt.

So, as I mentioned, I did a lot of other gaming related stuff this weekend… well Cangames is coming and I figured I should start work on the tables and terrain while I have lots of time… so I went to various shops around town and got materials I needed…

I completed a few linear obstacles for one of the themed tables… rows of crates and of ale barrels.

I also cut out enough rivets for a few of the buildings I’m making.

All in all, a pretty good weekend

Malifaux – Ashes to ashes

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust… here lies the body of…

So Malifaux as a game, seems to use more tokens/counters then most games I’ve played. I don’t have an issue with this… Actually it gives me an excuse to model more stuff.

So Each master and henchman has spells… so as learned from Warmachine and Hordes, it’s easier to have nice little spell effect counters on the table than to have a dice or bead or other generic item.

So… I started work on counters for each spell and effect in the game which I will use plastic sheets called Shrinky Dink to make.

Different Masters also use different tokens(which conveniently need to be the size of a small base), such as corpse, blood and junk… The Resurrectionists which are one of the two factions I’m collecting use Corpse counters… so I started to make these tombstones.

CorpseCounters

They’re supper easy to make and look great, I’ve made about 6 so far but will probably make more. I’ve also taken a bunch of pictures in order to make a tutorial on how to make these.

Malifaux – Guests Checkin and they sure checkout!

An other weekend is over and an other building is approaching completion in my little mining town of Malifaux.
The Grand Central Hotel is mostly assembled and the denizens of Malifaux are gathering to see what the hoopla is.

I’ve added a balcony (which needs to be completed) to help with different levels for the games… windows from all sides.
As with all the buildings I’m making, you can remove the building from the base and use the floor plan.

I’ve also started work on some tents… made from a plasticard base, metal paper clip frame and canvas as the tarp.

Malifaux – oh that’s going to stain!

So the first three buildings are now stained (painted) and I have to say I love the look.
Here’s some shots taken from my phone… sorry… I was too lazy to set up the tripod and one of the good cameras (I’ve been cleaning all day cause the monster-in-law is coming over tonight)

Malifaux – There’s a new Sheriff in town

So after getting home from work last night I started work on the next building for the board.
At first I was going to work on the Crazy Horse Saloon… but ended up making the Sheriff’s office… with bars so the prisoners can’t escape :)
