I’ve never actually felt like I figured out the whole summoning thing in Malifaux, Somer included. I don’t let that stop me from growing my collection, of course.
Like with Pandora, I mostly kept to the same color choices. The biggest change is with the hat color. The hat and boot are both Secret Weapon rust acrylics.
As this blog often demonstrates, I have a weak spot for limited models. Knowing this, Sean, my friend and regular gaming partner, generously gave me my first metal limited Malifaux model, the Gremlinette.
I usually pin plastic Gremlins into already made and painted bases. The Gremlinette came with the a standard metal tab between her feet. I decided to leave it and just build the base around her. The base may have suffered a bit for it, but she’s firmly attached.
Now that the metal barrier has been breached, we’ll see what other limited models make their way across my workbench.
Once again it’s time for a reflection on a year of hobby.
Overview
I started the year with a deadline looming. A Team Yankee campaign was getting started. I had just acquired enough models to fill out an army and only had about five weeks to get it table ready. I also had Dropzone Commander and Arena Rex backburnered.
I’m not sure how excited I am about playing with the Banjonistas, but I compulsively bought them for the Alt Swinecursed, so figured I might as well toss some paint on ’em and see what happens.
As models I think they’re quite fun. In retrospect, it might have been a good idea to convert some of the banjos into shotguns and use as extra Bayou Gremlins.
Still, crew mobility is always good. When I play Somer, I tend to get an awful lot of gremlins killed. Some extra card draw is a nice bonus.
