This turned out to be a bigger painting job than expected. Because I bought a few of the miniatures already (excellently) painted I had a standard to aim for. My painting has been getting better over time, but this project really pushed me. I’ve spent significantly longer on each miniature than I have with previous [...]

No, not the name of a terrible 1970′s soft rock band. Nope, this is the final Sea Dogs Crew unit for my Privateer army. I decided to paint them as Thamarite Cultists to complement Fiona the Black. They’re a work-in-progress, but are nearly finished. Anyway, here’s a quick video. This video was embedded using the [...]

I’ve really enjoyed the Blasted Heath league as it has been a great opportunity to get to know Cryx as a faction. I painted the majority of them back in August, but hadn’t had an chance to field them too much. I’ve played seven games of various sizes against six different opponents using six different [...]

Yesterday was a funny kind of Father’s Day… I didn’t see my daughter at all! She was staying with her grandparents on Saturday night and I was off playing little soldiers when she was brought home and put to bed. That said, it was still an awesome day. I played two multi-player games for the [...]

I got my first two Blasted Heath league games under my belt tonight. Harry came out to the house to pit his Skorne against my Cryx. I decided I’d give Cryx a go in the league as they are my third faction (behind Khador and Legion) and they haven’t received a whole lot of attention [...]

Malifaux crews are pretty easy to put together as there are so few models in each game. That said, I stumbled upon this handy online Crew Builder. I’ve only given it a limited test, but it seems to work well. It allows you to add models up to a soul stone limit and it automatically [...]

I’ll write a painting guide when I have the energy. I just completed this guy in a four hour painting marathon. I probably put three hours painting into it before today, not to mention the building time! I think he’s turned out pretty well. I’m looking forward to seeing my opponents’ faces when I put [...]

After spending so long building this miniature I finally started applying some paint to it this evening. It really is huge. I’ll write a painting guide when it’s finished, but for now here’s a side-by-side shot with Iron Lich Asphyxious. It gives a sense of just how large this miniature is! Owen
