Malifaux and Other Things

It's been awhile so here is a little recap as of late. Dave just brought it to my attention that The Game Vault up in Fredricksburg will be having a Malifaux tournament in mid April. I am debating on whether I want to attend or not. We're still waiting for them to finalize their tournament packet so I think that will be the defining factor for me. It's going to be 25ss but that's all we really know. No word on if we have to stick with set lists for our factions or what. I do plan to take my Kirai Resurrectionist crew though. I plan to keep my model pool pretty simple and stick only to the spirits in her theme so basically Onryo, Seishin, Shikome, and Gaki with Dastue-Ba as back-up.

For model progress, I've finally finished basing 5 Seishin, 4 Gaki, 4 Onryo, 1 Shikome, Ikiryo, Lost Love, Datsue-Ba, and Kirai and primed them all in white. I'm probably going to start with the Onryo first as I think the colors that look best on them will transfer to the rest of the crew. I just need to get some inspiration on a color scheme to go with.

In other news, I recently picked up a decent sized Hordes Legion of Everblight army off a guy from the Stoney Point Refugees. Got it at a great price too! It is missing a few minor parts (like spikes) but at the price I got it, it's something that I can easily deal with. With that army now in my possession, Chris M and I are trying to get in some games now so that he can learn how to play his Khador he bought off another mutual friend of ours. Hopefully we can both get up to speed (since it's been a few years since I last played) in time for the next season of Privateer Press's WarmaHordes league.

I was recently turned on to this fantastic deal, if you are in need of transport for your figures. Wal-Mart has these pistol cases for $10 that are pure gold! It's a nice, hard, GW-style plastic shell. Inside, you have 2 eggfoam sheets for the top and bottom. For your models, there is a sheet of 1 1/2" (roughly) of pluck foam to customize for your figures. I bought one and was able to fit my Everblight army in it with room to spare (Lilith, Strider, Epic Thagrosh, 4 Shredders, 2 Stingers, 1 Seraph, 1 Raek, 2 Carniveans, and 1 Typhon!!). Best bang for your buck!
