Malifaux - Salvage and Logistics

First of all Happy New Year.  I hope you all had a good festive period.

I love Clive Barker's Hellraiser mythos.  I love the films, I love the books but most of all I love the Cenobytes. That's why when I saw the Salvage and Logistics crew for Malifaux I knew I had to have one.  I've tried to paint them up in a Hellraiser style.  I tried to get them finished for A Wyrd Place's December painting challenge, but unfortunately life got in the way.

Next time my Christmas hobby haul and my hobby resolutions for 2018

My Lian Yu Jungle Terrain Thus Far

Apologies for the lack of updates recently, I've been in a bit of a painting slump, although that appears to have shifted and I'm back in full paint mode.  If cranked out most of my Trident realm army for Kings of War this week, but you can't see that just yet, only when it's done.

In the mean time here's a showcase of my jungle terrain thus far.  Calenderman added for scale.  The mat is from DeepCut Studio.  The foliage is plastic aquarium plants, mostly the really cheap ones.  The trees are from 4Ground.  The buildings (you've seen those before) are from Sarissa Precision.  The ponds I made myself, they're not amazing but I think their a good first attempt.

I plan to use this lot primarily for the Batman Miniatures Game as the island of Lian Yu.  But it could be used for other games like Malifaux and Warmahordes or even small games of Bolt Action or 40K.  Hell I could even use it for the Walking Dead (jungle edition of course).

So what would I add to this?  Definitely more trees.  Maybe another of those big leafy buggers too.  I think I could do with a couple more buildings, and I definitely need a few crates and barrels.  I'm toying with the idea of some cliffs and a stream too.

Malifaux - Dr Dufresne

Time for another Resurrectionist.  This time it's Dr Dufresne.  She is one of Wyrd's alternate miniatures.  In her case she counts as Dr Douglas McMourning in every way... every way!.

I went with a green dress mainly because I don't use it enough.  And because it's dark I decided to go with a more gothic look, hence the the heavy eye shadow and dark purple lipstick.  Also I couldn't help playing with the blood effects.

Malifaux - Archie

It's been a while since I've painted any Malifaux, and I really needed a break after all those phalangites.  So I painted up Archie for my Resurrectionists.

Look at him, he's so happy with his ice cream (it's mint choc chip and strawberry).  He's also wearing wellies. 

Unboxing The Wild Ones

Well I bought this during Wyrd's Gencon sale. 

This box is a limited edition "nightmare" version of the Lucas McCabe Treasure Hunters box.  However they've swapped out the wastrels for mounted guard, which sort of makes sense given this box is a steampunk biker gang.

Lets look inside.

You get two sprues.  Oh no! Look at all those parts.  I'm not going to enjoy this.

Well I really didn't enjoy that.  But they look cool.

You get two versions of Rollins Black.  A mounted and a dismounted version.  Rollins in game counts as Lucas MaCabe.

You also get Rollins' totem Iggy Pup.  His butt is steam powered.  In game Iggy counts as Lola.

You also get a henchman, or should that be henchwoman, Cherri Bomb.  She has a machine gun.  In game she counts as Sidir Alchibal.

You get Elli Ramone riding a... thing.  She was a pain in the arse to put together.  In game she counts as a mounted guard.

And finally Patti Ramone, also riding a thing.  She was the easiest of the big minis to build.  She's also a mounted guard.

And you get the stat cards.

And a load of upgrades.
