Turelio's Hobby Hoard

I decided to get some painting in last night, in an effort to get some Malifaux minis ready for a few possible games today. I built the Steam Arachnids a while ago, and knew I had a Soulstone Miner tucked away, so I got them all prepped up. I didn't like the prospect of pinning the spiders to Ghost Town bases like the rest of my Rail Crew, as I didn't think there would be a connection point. Using some slate chips, plastic cacti, and green stuff, I textured the bases and pressed the spiders in. I also textured the gap between the Miner's base insert and base. I filled the areas I need texture roughly with lumps of green stuff, then attacked it with the knife point of a sculpting tool. I had lost the notes for the Rail Crew paint scheme, so needed to try to match it. I'll also probably use these kind of bases as opposed to the Ghost Town bases, which are in short supply now. Eventually, I suspect that if there are other consistent models which are close to the rig...

Happy 2014 everyone! I'm going to try to update my forgotten blog a bit more this year, and I'm starting with photographing some minis I recently finished. This is my Rail Crew for Malifaux!

As a quick post, I've been playing Malifaux on a weekly basis for a while now. This is for a few reasons: 1) I figured if I didn't force some R&R into my life, into would be hard to fit in later on 2) A great Hobby Store, The Games Cube, opened up a few suburbs away, and they run Malifaux on Wednesday nights 3) In the time I wasn't playing it, I missed it, and wanted to play it more.  4) I wanted to use Justice more in the lead-up to 2nd Edition, to try to get more 1st edition experience with her before the switch. In the past few weeks I've managed to get a game in every week at least (apart from one night where I painted), and a few months ago played in the GT here in Sydney. It's also been fun going against some crews I don't often get a chance to go up against. Last week I went up against Mark's Colette Crew, which is a really nice looking crew. Mark did a write up on his own blog with some pictures of the match you should check out if you h...
