Still the sucker for limited editions, I made the required purchase for alt Barbaros at Black Friday last year. In the fluff, Barbaros had his wings cut, but he still gets them in this sculpt for whatever reason. This version stayed over the base better than the original one, so it should be a little easier to transport.
I’m a total sucker for limited editions. And Malifaux’s skirmish nature means there’s less of a “I’ll never use it” argument holding me back.
The Through the Breach Hannah has been tempting me for quite a while. The regular model is pretty ungainly, which is both an aesthetic problem and a practical transportation one. But it’s pretty scarce, and the ebay price was more than I wanted to pay.
Finally, my patience paid off, and I snagged one on sprue for a small premium over the regular Hannah price. Everyone’s favorite power armored librarian was mine.
I knew I couldn’t leave the pages blank. It’s simplistic, but it still adds a bit of character. I briefly tried doing some kind of magic glow at her finger, but it looked stupid so I washed it off.
I had a chance to play Hannah at the Henchman Hardcore at Adepticon. My list was:
The idea was to bury a key model with Ancient Tomes to steal an activation. If lucky, bury another with the Nothing Beast, nibble with the Void Wretches, and unbury outside of the Turf War area. Hannah could also Make a New Entry off of the Nothing Beast’s attack. It worked out pretty well, and I was able to steal activations from the opposing Henchman several times. It was also pointed out to me during lunch that I could just sit a model on top of the Void Marker to send the buried model back to the deployment zone, and possibly out of the fight, which I used to good effect in the final round.
I picked up this model in when it was initially offered a the Gencon sale in 2014, when I also got Miss Ery. I decided to continue working on the limited Gremlins that were sitting on sprue.
Out of everything on this model, I’m most proud of his eyes. I think they really ended up with a lot of warm glowy life to them.
I wish there was a bit more wacky detail on his body. All the gremlins climbing on him add a ton of character, and were fun to paint up. I fear for the life of the swinging guy, though. I’m sure I’m going to catch it on something and the thin plastic will snap. I should have pre-emptively replaced it with wire.
This model is a limited release alternate sculpt for the War Pig that was available during Wyrd’s Easter sale this year.
I wanted to really own the whole Easter thing, so went straight for a neon pink bunny and bright patterned eggs.
Assembling the rear rider required several sacrifices to the carpet gods — I lost one of his ears (separate ears bits, really?) and a foot, which was replaced with an egg. I dropped an arm and managed to run it over with my chair before finding it, so it’s a little smushed. Fortunately, the whole model came together pretty well.
