So, I have decided that I have too much Malifaux stuff. And that too much of that Malifaux stuff is unpainted. And that I don't know what I have got. So, in order to fix this, I have begun the great Malifaux Painting Plan (C).
The idea is, that I am going to complete Malifaux in Waves. Starting with Wave 1, I will paint all of the models within each book, to at least a tabletop standard. This will mean that, eventually, my goal of having everything for all Factions will be achieved, at some point in the distant past.
So I have made a list. It is based on all of the Wave 1 Arsenal boxes (Except Gremlins. I can't find the gremlins one, and have lent a new player my Rulebook). I plan to work my way down it, painting everything, and magnetising the bases to stick it to trays for ease of display and movement.
To get me started, I have waded in on some of the Guild boxes I had unbuilt. Starting with The Torch and Blade, Sonia Criid's crew box.
On the grounds of full disclosure, I really didn't enjoy some of this. The undercoat was done badly and made painting a chore. The eternal flame has broken several times at the ludicrous hip joints, and is now at the stage where the fix is "looks good enough" rather than "looks good". I need to think about changing the Flames on Sonia's sword, and there are a few other bits that should probably get done. But, overall, they are good enough for tabletop, and these were never going to be my favourite crew. I do look forward to trying them against some Arcanists soon, though.
