One man's junk is another's treasure and all that

Recently I got a job lot of second hand Malifaux minis and thought I'd run through the contents here.

First up, three quarters of the first Hoffman starter; Charles himself, a Watcher and a Hunter.  As I don't have a Mechanical Attendant I don't see these getting much use as a crew themselves, but I'll prep and paint them someday for the fun of it!

Next a mostly whole selection of chaps made using the male character kit for Through the Breach (I believe).  The duster/hat guy could potentially proxy as something Guild (with a fix as he is missing a sword), but the Neverborn dude with a gatling gun is utter madness!

I also got Sonnia Criid (alternate version) - thanks to Wargaming Threads for help in identifying!

Next is the metal Samael Hopkins (picture not great as he is primed and has a basecoat on some leather).  

Here we have the first plastic version of The Scribe, Lucius' totem. 

Next is an on-sprue version of the Restless Spirit in red - have to admit I never saw much point in the coloured plastic stuff as it'll end up painted anyway!

Here's a part painted Ama No Zako:

Next up was a pair of Crooligans (the best two IMO):

The box also included McCabe (foot and mounted) and the three Ruffians from his starter box (no Sidir or Luna but I do already have this box so it's no great shakes!)

Next was Somer and Lenny from the previous starter - these have weirdly oversized scenic elements which have claimed a foot each from the gremlins... if I can salvage the feet I might use these as alternate options for my other Somer and Lenny.

Here's McTavish and his big boy gator:

And a mostly complete Rail/Metal Golem (which to be honest I might just turn into something for Dracula's America):

Next up was a Pale Rider:

A pretty much painted Killjoy was also in the box:

As well as a selection of minis from the Plague keyword.  Some of these I might press into service for Dracula's America.

Next is the previous Lady Justice starter - some on sprue, with the Death Marshals salvageable:

Then there was a Sanctioned Spellcaster that will fit in with my Witch Hunters, an Austringer and a Pathfinder:

Next was a selection of Guard keyword minis.

And the Dashel from the previous Lucius box - as I have no Dispatcher I might use this to take him as a second master, probably in his Dashel2 form.

Then there was Johan - I've got both male and female versions now!

Next up is a metal Lord Chompy Bits - this will definitely get used in Dracula's America:

Then there was a selection of Obliteration keyword minis, which most notably included Karina, so I could feasibly get say Tara2 and make use of these all together:

Next was some Freikorps, including notably Hannah Lovelace, which I think is an awesome model so I'm really happy to have it!

Almost finally was the highlight of the box - the now OOP Avatar of Amalgamation (counts as Arcane Emissary):

Finally there was this mini that I am yet to identify from either the Malifaux range or otherwise - all I know is it is metal!

If you recognise her, please let me know!

In all, whilst it was a very random selection, there's lot of usable bits and pieces in there - the Avatar, Hannah, Lady Justice and Obliteration stuff in particular stands out and definitely made it represent good value for me.

The ADHS Diaries - part 15

Here's the latest update for me to read back on when I need a boost!

Burrows & Badgers
I've repainted a resin well scatter piece that will see use - it's a little large, but will work for the larger beastfolk, so I'll call it Brock's Well.  I've picked up the giant Bear mini (and the mole alchemist as I continue to pick up any civilian type minis Oathsworn release!) that I need to prep.

Dracula's America
I've been chipping away painting the various Unwelcome Guests (random monster type things) - I'm hoping to take photos and write some fluff to show these off here at some point.  Then it'll be on to either townsfolk or some recurring bandit types I think.  Or maybe livestock.

Malifaux
I wasn't necessarily expecting to add to the Malifaux collection for a while, but when I saw a good deal on a second hand Lord Cooper box and the On the Hunt box I couldn't resist snapping it up.  When it arrives I'll try to post about it here to get back into posting things other than these ADHS Diaries!

Of Gods and Mortals
I've repainted a couple of resin cheapo scatter terrain pieces that will see use primarily in OGAM - an ancient arch ruin thing and a sphinx head ruin.  As I see OGAM tables as being smashed together bits of the various cultures involved these should work fine.

In other news...
I've mostly spent my recent hobby fund on rulebooks - I've got the Tribal second edition and the two History and Game Lab expansions A Viking in the Sun (Lion Rampant) and The Last Samurai Rebellion (The Men Who Would Be Kings).

The ADHS Diaries - part 14

Figured I'd log the latest activity here for me to look back on.

Burrows & Badgers
I've repainted a naff resin pool from Temu (you know the kind of thing, £1 and neon blue water).  I've added water effect tonight so shall see how that dries!

Dracula's America
I've been painting most of the things that required 'funky' paints - you know the kind of thing, technicals, contrast paints, glazes and all that jazz.  That's another 12 minis done this year!  I've got a trio of spectres from CP Models up next that should be more my preferred painting style.

Mordheim
I finished the Black Lion Brigade (Witch Hunters) and Grodrik Gromnisson's Last Hurrah (Dwarfs).  I've taken a little break from Mordheim for now; although I still have plenty to do so will be heading back to the Cursed City!

Turnip18
I painted the IXth Steckrübe Loyal (minus flags) but took a break.  The Turnip28 style is fun, but the painting isn't especially enjoyable to me.  I've still got the opposing force to do, as well as a couple of scenic pieces, but it'll need a flash of inspiration before I return to the mud and roots and tubers.

So that's it; nothing ground breaking but keeping on some steady (for me) progress.  At some point I'll take pics of the stuff I've painted this year and share pics here with some fluff and thoughts, but that'll take more spoons than I am generally running at so it'll have to wait!
