To go with last edition’s Marcus, I picked up the ‘special order’ for the Order Initiates.
One of my hobby goals for these models was to work on blending, especially between the human and beast portions. The legs I’m pretty happy with. The transition between red and orange/yellow on the wings is more abrupt than I would have liked.
The grays on the legs and torso here I’m quite happy with.
I bought the Marcus box around when the Winter Wonderland alt Rasputina box was release, and quickly painted Myranda and the Cerberus. One of the last things I assembled and prepped for paint before the M3E annoucement was the rest of the box. But then I was less interested in new Malifaux models.
Well, now M3E’s been out for a year, so I gotta keep working on that backlog. Marcus got a new box with new sculpts, but that doesn’t invalidate his old one.
Plus, who doesn’t want a rabid rabbit sitting on a human head?
As always, I’m late to the errata party, but the Steam Arachnid Swarm is still useful.
I have another set of three still on sprue, but I’m saving them to maybe magnetize to use as both individual and group. Or maybe I’ll use them for conversions down the line.
