Malifaux: Beast Within and Vogel

I’m very slowly growing my Arcanists collection, although it may be a bit haphazard. Today’s contribution is Vogel and the Beast Within.

One of the interesting aspects of these models is that they represent different manifestations of the same character. In theory, it’s the same outfit between the two.

Like all too many large Malifaux models, there was a nasty seam both around the head and around the hinge of the jaw. I managed to clean up the worst of it, but there are still some pretty visible seams in the cuffs, shoulders, and wrists.

I have vague ideals of playing both Marcus and Lucius, both of which have some interesting possibilities using Vogel/the Beast. With the M3E annoucement, it’s hard to know what is still a good idea. On the plus side, I’ve got plenty of other hobby projects to keep me busy.

Arena Rex: Anum

At this point I’ve got a pretty good size collection of Arena Rex beasts. It’s probably about time I could take them as a cohort.

Anum brings some pretty cool abilities, including giving up some health to remove a fatigue, for a surprise double-whammy.

As a model I’m actually happy with how the spots turned on the hyena, unlike a lot of the animal patterns I’ve attempted.
