Malifaux (in)Justice no6

That bastard Mattheson joins troops on the streets of Malifaux. 

Now that Lucius is a duel faction master (guild and neverborn) the sculptors at Wyrd have subtly hinted at his neverborn roots in his figure.  Look at his legs, they're not human, they curve in all the wrong places.  They look like they should belong to a goat.  Maybe he's hiding cloven hooves in his shoes.  He is every bit the devil in disguise.  I also love they way he's nonchalantly looking at his pocket watch, its very fitting with his character.

Here's the whole gang thus far.  I plan to expand them at some point with some guild riflemen and maybe a few more mimics.  Now I need to get them on the table top.

Malifaux (in)Justice no5

It's time for some police brutality in the form of Captain Dashel.  Well at least he looks brutal, his in game damage output is pretty low.

I think he looks a bit like Dian Wei from Dynasty Warriors.  I decided to paint his doublet black to match the coats of the guild guard.  I was going to paint it red, the guild colour, but I decided against it because he'd look like the pub landlord.

I also painted the Scribe, who is Lucius's butler.  He doesn't look like a scribe, but he does carry a spare mask for Lucius.

Lucius is now on the painting block, which means I'm close to finishing the crew.

Malifaux (in)Justice no4

I've finished another member of my Bound by Law crew, and it's another shitebag lawyer.  This one I call "Better Call Saul"

He was a fiddly one to assemble.  Especially his cane.  I clipped it out fine with no incidents.  But when I picked it up to attach it snapped and the end with his fingers attached hit the floor.  It took me 40ish minutes to find.  I also forgot to greenstuff a small gap in his hand, which I hope isn't to noticeable.

Now who do I paint next?  Captain Dashel Or the Scribe?

Malifaux (in)Justice no3

She does look familiar.  I believe she said  her name was Jane Doe.

She looks almost normal from the front.

But from the back it looks like a murder scene.  She's a doppleganger.  And she's wearing someone else's skin.  These Neverborn are nasty.  But why is she in an issue of Malifaux (in)Justice?  Well that's because Lucius can take an upgrade that allows him to hire mimics regardless of faction (also Lucius can be taken as a Neverborn master).

Malifaux (in)Justice no 2

I've just finished another member of my Bound By Law crew.  I call him Johnny Law.  Two reasons for this, firstly he's a lawyer and secondly he's carrying a big book with law written on it.

He looks a bit like an evil Richard O'Brien.  I reckon that the lawyers of all wear masks to prevent the families of their clients from recognising them and forming lynch mobs.  Given his evil grin and somewhat sinister pose (he is making gestures with his left hand after all) he's probably a prosecutor and he's going to throw the book at you.

Malifaux (in)Justice no 1

Welcome to the first of my new painting mini-series Malifaux (in)Justice.  In this series I intend to show case my Guild, in particular my Bound by Law crew (Lucius), hence the name (in)Justice.  I've decided to leave the main man until last and start with the peons... I mean highly valued members of the constabulary who are in no way manipulated and victimised by their boss.

Here's the guild guard.  You get 2 in the Bound By Law crew box and 2 in the guild guard pack.  The men went together quite easily, the girls where a bit trickier and the instructions on the website weren't great.

Lets have a closer look at the men

I have dubbed them James Rogan and Seth Franco (I might have just watched the interview when I started painting them).  I really like the pose on these guys, they're stoically waiting for the bad guys (but not as bad as their boss) to show themselves.

Now the girls

I left the cleavage shot for last (he he boobies).  The girls are named Erza Hearfillia and Lucy Scarlet.  If you get the reference give yourself a cookie.  They're in a more dynamic pose, running and gunning or leaning round a corner.
