Malifaux is an amazing game. I love the lore, adore the miniatures, and think the game mechanics are incredible. I’m also so intimidated by the rules that I know I’ll never play a game of it again.
I still love painting the minis, and I have to be honest with myself; I’m far more a painter than a gamer anyway, but I sure would love to find a ruleset that allowed me to use these guys!
The big zombie is part of the Residents of Rottenberg crew, helping bring about a town that zombies can un-live in peace. At least I think that’s what they’re doing. It’s in my head-canon and won’t leave! I wish I had seen the seems in the sculpt before painting him, but thus are the perils of assembling and painting in bad light.
The next gribbly is a Desolation Engine, pretty much killing machines that only want destruction and carnage. They’re hard to kill, and are made up of machinery and dead bits of folks.
Even worse, if you DO manage to destroy one, they become a bunch of Steampunk Abominations, which is a fun little bonus. I think, I should say, since I’ve never actually played this crew and have no idea how they work. But it SOUNDS cool!
Normally, folks paint these guys up in dead flesh schemes, but I wanted to do some purple hues and play a little. Not strictly lore accurate, but it works for me!
