Totengräber's Workpläce

I went through and took good pics of the Pandora starter box I finished. They are also found in the gallery.

The only one I’m not particularly happy with is Kade as I got the whole fuzzy primer issue going on.

So I’ve been doing a ton of painting over the last couple of weeks. I set up a painting schedule through an Excel spreadsheet and it’s kept me on track for getting various painting jobs done. Here’s a list of what I’ve worked on:

• Malifaux Pandora – complete
• Malifaux Baby Kade – complete
• Malifaux Candy – complete
• Malifaux Sorrows x3 – complete
• Malifaux Sonnia Criid – assembled and based
• Malifaux Samael – assembled and based
• Malifaux Witchling Stalkers x3 – assembled and based
• Malifaux Executioner – assembled and based
• Malifaux Hamelin – assembled and based
• Warhammer Ogre Bulls x3 – complete
• Warhammer Ogre Bruiser BSB – about 50% done
• Warhammer Ogre Tyrant – about 50% done

I will try to get some pictures done in the next couple of days.

I admit to being a bit lazy about updating this here blog over the last week or so. Joel and I played a game of Malifaux two Thursdays ago and then again this past Thursday. What follows are two battle reports; one for each gaming night. (continue reading…)

Now that I’d gotten my feet wet in playing one real game of Malifaux, I felt ready to take on playing again. The game is really that exciting and actually pretty quick to play. In fact, I can’t think of another game that has gotten me so excited since Confrontation.

Brian had already left to go take care of his preganant wife, who’s about to pop any minute, so I challenged Bryan to a game. He whipped out the Lady Justice crew to pound on Pandora. Fortunately, I’d heard a bit on how Lady J works from Joel so I had at least some thoguhts on how to deal with them. (continue reading…)

Last night was the first time I have gotten to play Malifaux for real. After havung read the rules over the last week or two, I have tried to grasp how the game works. For the most part, I think I did. We all went to a different store this time. This one is called Gamerz. A few members of the group have spoken to the owner, who seems o really want to get more players in the store and more miniatures games going in it. When I’d been there before for Magic, there were a couple of fold-out tables with felt on them in the back. When I showed up yesterday, there were no less than four wooden gaming tables clearly set up for games like Warhammer Fantasy and 40K. (continue reading…)

Been working on these for the last week or so and finally got them all together.

Ever since Gen Con 2008 when Brian, his wife and I hung around the Wyrd booth in hopes of learning something about this new game or seeing some new minis, Malifaux has been on our mind. Now that it’s here I think it’s probably everything everyone wanted in a miniatures game that uses no dice. At Gen Con 2009 I heard nearly everyone I know who plays miniatures games talk about getting into the game. I even heard some people having issues finding figures they liked and then they bought in once they saw that the few minis they did like were all from the same faction and could be played together!
