In most recent years, Wyrd has released a nightmare crew at Gencon, then an extra model in the same theme in Black Friday. This year, that’s Mad Cap, an alternate Metal Golem in the Malifaux 1988 theme.
This model was in softer plastic than most Malifaux, and sold pre-assembled. I believe it’s the same material as The Other Side. It’s not my favorite material, though it’s nicer than some PVC models.
Last year’s Nightmare crew was was anachronistic for Malifaux, a cyberpunk twist on Mei Feng
In this world, Mei rides the rails on roller blades, evidently. I wanted this crew to be brighter colored than most of my Malifaux, and selected orange as a color to tie them all together.
The orange on Mean Streak is relegated to just a few accents.
What fish wouldn’t want a robot body?
The Rail Workers each get a unique look. I especially like kangaroo-legged Tagline.
Last year’s Black Friday sale includes these promo models, as a general purpose (and just fun) marker. Well, it’s getting close(ish) to Christmastime again, so it’s high time it saw some paint.
With M3E came some new sculpts and rearranging of existing crew boxes. December Acolytes got a resculpt and promoted to the main Rasputina box. Since I already had the Nightmare Rasputina set, and preferred the old sculpts, I went out and found a set of the old December Acolytes.
They seem generally useful, especially as an anti-armor counter pick.
For color scheme I went with the same burgundy red cloaks and Rasputina, and then filled it in from there.
