Malifaux: Ravenous (Gaki and Shikome)

Kirai is a summoner, which really encourages you to go out and get all the minions. First up is Ravenous, with Gaki and Shikome.

The Gaki are weird hooded tooth monsters. I feel like they would be right at home in a Labyrinth-style muppet movie.

Shikome

I already did one Shikome, the alt He-kome. So I was able to resist and just do one from the Ravenous box. The other will be available for bits. Wings are always useful.

Malifaux: He-kome (alt Shikome)

Wyrd traditionally releases a limited edition gender-swapped ‘Miss’ model at Gencon. Usually this takes a male character and reimagines it as a female with a clever name like Miss Deed or Miss Feasance. For 2018, they went the opposite way and made this male Shikome. Since I painted up Kirai, it’s finally time to put him together.

He-kome (alt Shikome)

I quite like the giant wings, though I wish they rested a bit more evenly on the base (or maybe I didn’t quite align them correctly).

Malifaux: Kirai Core Box (Kirai, Ikiryo, Lost Love, Onryo)

Kirai offers a chance for a different take on the Resurrectionists than the zombies of McMourning.

Kirai

Kirai herself is a more refined model, with a fluid pose and incredibly large shears.

Datsue Ba

Datsue Ba has a cool octopus lamp.

Ikiryo

Ikiryo sadly didn’t get a resculpt in the M3E box. There’s something about her that doesn’t do it for me.

Lost Love

Lost Love looks angry.

The Onryo are dancerly, like Kirai.

Underwords: The Dread Pageant

The other warband in the Direchasm box is The Dread Pageant. This four-model crew features more diverse models than their boxmates, Myari’s Purifiers.

Glissete

This warband gave me an excuse to play with purples and blues, which was fun.

Hadzu

I still struggle with lighter colored bases like this. At least it contrasts nicely with the model and statues that make the base details.

Slakeslash

I think it would be hard to put on a shirt with a crab-arm like this.

Vasillac the Gifted

Looking at this now, it would have been cooler to make the shield fleshy instead of metallic.
