Unboxing Malifaux – Perdita’s ‘The Latigo Posse’ Starter Set

by | Mar 11, 2014

The Neverborn have gone from the hunter...to the hunted...


The 'Latigo Posse' box contains enough parts for six miniatures...namely Perdita Ortega, her Totem Enslaved Nephilim (3SS), Francisco Ortega (8SS), Santiago Ortega (7SS), Nino Ortega (7SS) and Papa loco (7SS). It also contains stat cards for each one and eight upgrade cards, three of which are for Perdita, one is for Francisco and four can be given to any model with the 'Family' type though one of those also stipulates the 'Enforcer' type.

This makes the Soulsstone value of the box...

Perdita (0), Enslaved Nephilim (3), Francisco Ortega (8), Santiago Ortega (7), Nino Ortega (7) and Papa loco (7) Total (32) or (37) with a maximum Soulstone cache and (49) with maximum 'out of the box' upgrades.

The box has one sprue set in it which consists of six sub-assy's in it as well as the aforementioned cards...


Lets have a look at each of these in turn...should there be any assembly issues with any of the models then they will be listed in the appropriate section and you can view larger versions of the smaller pictures by clicking on them. Wyrd Miniatures also seem to have stopped putting instructions in things and instead give you a leaflet with a web address on it that leads to a number of links.


I've put them here so you don't need to. Just click on them for larger versions...

Because of the hat it's difficult to get a good picture of the whole model that shows the facial detail. I took this one with the Flash on...it's not the best picture but at least you can see her facial features in it...

The model has the usual issues that tiny models made of lots of parts do. Aligning the chain to the legs was the only awkward part for me.

Upgrades
Some of these can be given to any model with the 'Family' type but I'll put most of them here rather than duplicate them in every section.



Assembled
I thought this was going to be trickier than it turned out to be though a pair of tweezers is useful for attaching the decorative shirt section at his chest. The join between the two coat sections needs a tiny bit of hubby putty or additional filing to make a neat fit...I haven't done that yet myself...

Upgrades
Both Nino and Papa Loco can take this upgrade as well...not all at once though as it's 'Rare 1'. 

Assembled
The only issue with this model is that the tiny skull on his belt is a separate piece...no...I'm not joking...

Stat Cards

Assembled
This model is in twelve pieces but isn't actually that bad to assemble as long as your systematic. Tweezers are a good investment if your planning on spending much time assembling Malifaux models though...
